	Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Business Description
	First Data Corporation (“FDC” or “the Company”) operates electronic commerce businesses providing a variety of services to financial institutions, commercial establishments and consumers. Such services include merchant transaction processing and acquiring; credit, retail and debit card issuing and processing; prepaid services and check verification, settlement and guarantee services.
	Consolidation
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of FDC include the accounts of FDC and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies are accounted for under the equity method and are included in “Investment in affiliates” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company generally utilizes the equity method of accounting when it has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity, provided the Company is able to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operations.
	The Company consolidates an entity’s financial statements when the Company either will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses or residual returns, in the case of a variable interest entity, or has the ability to exert control over a subsidiary. Control is normally established when ownership interests exceed 50% in an entity; however, when the Company does not exercise control over a majority-owned entity as a result of other investors having rights over the management and operations of the entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no greater-than-50%-owned affiliates whose financial statements were not consolidated.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Presentation
	Depreciation and amortization presented as a separate line item on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations does not include amortization of initial payments for new contracts which is recorded as a contra-revenue within “Transaction and processing service fees.” Also not included is amortization related to equity method investments which is netted within the “Equity earnings in affiliates” line. The following table presents the amounts associated with such amortization:
		Year ended December 31,
	(in millions)	2012		2011			2010
	Amortization of initial payments for new contracts	$	44.5	$	42.5		$	38.6
	Amortization related to equity method investments	$	94.8	$	56.7		$	73
	In 2011, the Company recorded a net $58.5 million pretax ($35.2 million after tax) benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to correct cumulative depreciation and amortization errors related to purchase accounting associated with the Company’s 2007 merger with an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. The corrections impacted “Costs of services” ($10.2 million expense), “Depreciation and amortization” ($57.7 million benefit) and amortization of equity method investments within “Equity earnings in affiliates” ($11.0 million benefit). The errors and the cumulative correction, which totaled $58.5 million in aggregate and occurred over a four year period, were deemed immaterial to prior years and the current year, respectively.
	Revenue Recognition
	The majority of the Company’s revenues are comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, or a fee per transaction processed, or account on file or some combination thereof. In limited circumstances, revenue is allocated to the separate units of accounting in a multiple element transaction based on relative selling prices, provided each element has stand alone value to the customer, and delivery of any undelivered items is probable and substantially within the Company’s control.
	In the case of merchant contracts that the Company owns and manages, revenue is primarily comprised of fees charged to the merchant, net of interchange and assessments charged by the credit card associations, and is recognized at the time of sale. The fees charged to the merchant are a percentage of the credit card and signature based debit card transaction’s dollar value, a fixed amount or a combination of the two. Personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) network fees are recognized in “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenues and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. STAR network access fees charged to merchants are assessed on a per transaction basis.
	Interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations to the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and network fees related to PIN-debit transactions charged by debit networks are as follows:
		Year ended December 31,
	(in millions)	2012		2011			2010
	Interchange fees and assessments	$	18,373.00	$	18,826.10		$	17,834.80
	Debit network fees	2,786.30		2,959.10			2,798.30
	The Company charges processing fees to its merchant alliances. In situations where an alliance is accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s consolidated revenues include the processing fees charged to the alliance, as presented on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Revenue from check verification, settlement and guarantee services is recognized at the time of sale less the fair value of the guarantee. The fair value of the guarantee is deferred until the later of the Company being called upon to honor the guarantee or the expiration of the guarantee. Check verification fees generally are a fixed amount per transaction while check guarantee fees generally are a percentage of the check amount.
	The purchase and sale of merchant contracts is an ordinary element of the Company’s Retail and Alliance Services and International businesses, and therefore, the gains from selling these revenue-generating assets are included within the “Product sales and other” component of revenues.
	Fees based on cardholder accounts on file, both active and inactive, are recognized after the requisite services or period has occurred. Fees for PIN-debit transactions where the Company is the debit card processor for the financial institution are recognized on a per transaction basis. Revenues for output services are derived primarily on a per piece basis and consist of fees for the production, materials and postage related to mailing finished products.
	Software licensing revenue, which is reported in the “Product sales and other” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is not recognized until each of the following four criteria are met: evidence of an agreement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price is reasonably assured.
	The sale and leasing of point-of-sale (“POS”) devices (“terminals”) are also reported in “Product sales and other”. Revenue for terminals sold or sold under a sales-type lease transaction is recognized when the following four criteria are met: evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price or minimum lease payments are fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price or minimum lease payments is reasonably assured. Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
	The official check and money order services and merchant acquiring business generate revenue through the ability to invest funds pending settlement. Gains and losses associated with the above noted investments are recognized in revenue.
	Services not specifically described above are generally transaction based fees that are recognized at the time the transactions are processed or programming services that are recorded as work is performed.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date fair values of the respective stock options and restricted stock awards and expensed over the requisite service periods. An estimate of forfeitures is applied when calculating compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation cost on awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. During 2010, the Company modified the terms of its plan and, due to the nature of call rights and vesting conditions associated with the options and awards, the Company will recognize expense associated with the modifications and grants subsequent to the modifications only upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events. Refer to Note 13 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for most of the Company’s U.S. based businesses and certain foreign based businesses. Significant operations with a local currency as their functional currency include operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Ireland, Greece and Argentina. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities for these units and other less significant operations are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during each monthly period. The effects of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of assets and liabilities of those entities where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are included as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Intercompany loans are generally not considered invested on a long-term basis and such foreign currency gains and losses are recorded in income. Transaction gains and losses related to operating assets and liabilities are included in the “Cost of services” and “Selling, general and administrative” lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were immaterial. Non-operating transaction gains and losses derived from non-operating assets and liabilities are included in the “Other income (expense)” line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are separately disclosed in Note 9 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company utilizes derivative instruments to enhance its ability to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value. Such amounts are recorded in either the “Other current assets”, “Other long-term assets”, “Other current liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities” captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s policy is to present all derivative balances on a gross basis, without regard to counterparty master netting agreements or similar arrangements.  Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedge of future cash flows or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivatives that qualify as hedges of future cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value is recorded temporarily in equity as a component of OCI and then recognized in earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. For derivatives that qualify as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss is reported in OCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent the hedge is effective. Any ineffective portions of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are recognized in the “Other income (expense)” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period of change. Additional discussion of derivative instruments is provided in Note 6 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Noncontrolling and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
	Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ share of the net income or loss and equity in consolidated subsidiaries. Substantially all of the Company’s noncontrolling interests are presented pretax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” since the majority of the Company’s non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries are flow through entities for tax purposes. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflect the original investments by these noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated subsidiaries, along with their proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the subsidiaries, net of dividends or distributions. Noncontrolling interests that are redeemable at the option of the holder are presented outside of equity and are carried at their estimated redemption value. A noncontrolling interest is recorded on the date of acquisition based on the total fair value of the acquired entity and the noncontrolling interest’s share of that value.
	Reserve for Merchant Credit Losses and Check Guarantees
	With respect to the merchant acquiring business, the Company’s merchant customers (or those of its unconsolidated alliances) have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, that the Company is not able to collect such amounts from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or another reason, the Company may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company’s risk in this area primarily relates to situations where the cardholder has purchased goods or services to be delivered in the future such as airline tickets.
	The Company’s obligation to stand ready to perform is minimal in relation to the total dollar volume processed. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize this obligation. Collateral held by the Company is classified within “Settlement assets” and the obligation to repay the collateral if it is not needed is classified within “Settlement obligations” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. Despite these efforts, the Company historically has experienced some level of losses due to merchant defaults.
	The Company’s contingent obligation relates to imprecision in its estimates of required collateral. A provision for this obligation is recorded based primarily on historical experience of credit losses and other relevant factors such as economic downturns or increases in merchant fraud. Merchant credit losses are included in “Cost of services” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the reserves attributable to entities consolidated by the Company was $23.4 million and $31.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	The majority of the TeleCheck Services, Inc. (“TeleCheck”) business involves the guarantee of checks received by merchants. If the check is returned, TeleCheck is required to purchase the check from the merchant at its face value and pursue collection from the check writer. A provision for estimated check returns, net of anticipated recoveries, is recorded at the transaction inception based on recent history. The following table presents the accrued warranty and recovery balances:
		As of December 31,
	(in millions)	2012		2011
	Accrued warranty balances	$	10.9	$	11.4
	Accrued recovery balances	$	24.8	$	26.8
	Accrued warranties are included in “Other current liabilities” and accrued recoveries are included in “Accounts receivable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum potential future payments under the guarantees were estimated by the Company to be approximately $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2012 which represented an estimate of the total uncleared checks at that time.
	Income Taxes
	The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return with their parent, First Data Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). The Company’s foreign operations file income tax returns in their local jurisdictions. Income taxes are computed in accordance with current accounting guidance and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, then these deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made.
	The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured as the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Cash and cash equivalents that were restricted from use due to regulatory requirements are included in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were immaterial as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
	Accounts Receivable and Leasing Receivables
	Accounts receivable balances are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant write-offs. The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the accounts receivable balance will not be collected. Long-term accounts receivable balances are included in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	The Company has receivables associated with its point-of-sale (“POS”) terminal leasing businesses. Leasing receivables are included in “Accounts receivable” and “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes interest income on its leasing receivables using the effective interest method. Interest income from leasing receivables is included in “Product Sales and Other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For direct financing leases, the interest rate used incorporates initial direct costs included in the net investment in the lease. For sales type leases, initial direct costs are expensed as incurred.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the related assets (generally three to 10 years for equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, and 30 years for buildings) or the lease term. Maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. The following table presents the amounts charged to expense for the depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, including equipment under capital lease:
	Year ended December 31,	Amount
	(in millions)
	2012	$	284.5
	2011	292.1
2010	320.4
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. Goodwill is generally allocated to reporting units based upon relative fair value (taking into consideration other factors such as synergies) when an acquired business is integrated into multiple reporting units. The Company’s reporting units are at the operating segment level or businesses one level below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management. When a business within a reporting unit is disposed of, goodwill is allocated to the disposed business using the relative fair value method. Relative fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment, as well as upon an indicator of impairment, using a fair value approach at the reporting unit level. The Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2012, 2011 and 2010.  As of October 1, 2012, the most recent impairment analysis date, the fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value.  The Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges in 2011 or 2010.   Discussion of impairments that were recorded in 2012 is included in Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Customer relationships represent the estimated value of the Company’s relationships with customers, primarily merchants and financial institutions, to which it provides services. Customer relationships are amortized based on the pattern of undiscounted cash flows for the period as a percentage of total projected undiscounted cash flows. The Company selected this amortization method for these customer relationships based on a conclusion that the projected undiscounted cash flows could be reliably determined.
The Company capitalizes initial payments for new contracts, contract renewals and conversion costs associated with customer processing relationships to the extent recoverable through future operations, contractual minimums and/or penalties in the case of early termination. The Company’s accounting policy is to limit the amount of capitalized costs for a given contract to the lesser of the estimated ongoing future cash flows from the contract or the termination fees the Company would receive in the event of early termination of the contract by the customer. The initial payments for new contracts and contract renewals are amortized over the term of the contract as a reduction of the associated revenue (transaction and processing service fees). Conversion costs are also amortized over the term of the contract but are recorded as an expense in “Depreciation and amortization” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company develops software that is used in providing processing services to customers. To a lesser extent, the Company also develops software to be sold or licensed to customers. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of the software has been established. Costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to determine that a product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements. Capitalization of costs ceases when the product is available for general use. Software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally five years. Software acquired in connection with business combinations is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software which generally ranges from three to 10 years.
In addition to capitalized contract and software development costs, other intangibles include copyrights, patents, purchased software, trademarks and non-compete agreements acquired in business combinations. Other intangibles, except for the First Data trade name discussed below, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the contract or benefit period, which generally ranges from three to 25 years. The intangible amortization expense associated with customer relationships and other intangibles, including amortization associated with investments in affiliates, was as follows:
Year ended December 31,	Amount
(in millions)
2012	$	1,046.40
2011	1,052.10
2010	1,205.60
The value of the First Data trade name is $603.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Upon consideration of many factors, including the determination that there are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that limit the useful life of the First Data trade name, the Company determined that the First Data trade name had an indefinite useful life. The Company also considered the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, other economic factors and ability to maintain and protect the trade name without significant expenditures. The First Data trade name is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company for an indefinite period. As an indefinite lived asset, the First Data trade name is not amortized but is reviewed annually for impairment until such time as it is determined to have a finite life. The First Data trade name was not impaired as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.
The following table provides the components of other intangibles:
	As of December 31,
(in millions)	2012		2012			2012		2011		2011			2011

The estimated future aggregate amortization expense for the next five years is as follows:
Year ended December 31,	Amount
(in millions)
2013	$	833.7
2014	748
2015	662.7
2016	507.5
2017	427.9
The Company tests contract and conversion costs greater than $1 million for recoverability on an annual basis by comparing the remaining expected undiscounted cash flows under the contract to the net book value. Any assets that are determined to be unrecoverable are written down to their fair value. In addition to this annual test, these assets and all other long lived assets are tested for impairment upon an indicator of potential impairment.  The Company recorded impairment charges relating to other intangibles in 2012 and 2010 as described in Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and consist primarily of POS terminals, forms and envelopes. The cost of inventory is determined using average cost for POS terminals and first-in first-out (“FIFO”) for forms.
Investment Securities
The Company maintains investments in marketable and non-marketable securities, the majority of which are carried at fair value.  These are included in the “Settlement assets”, “Other current assets”, “Long-term settlement assets” and “Other long-term assets” line items of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis of securities sold. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of the debt and equity securities were classified as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are included as a separate component of OCI, net of any related tax effect. The Company assesses marketable securities for impairment quarterly. Cost method investments are evaluated for impairment upon an indicator of impairment such as an event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.  If no such events or changes in circumstances have occurred, the fair value is estimated only if practicable to do so.
For equity securities, declines in value that are judged to be other than temporary in nature are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For public company equity securities, the Company’s policy is to treat a decline in the investment’s quoted market value that has lasted for more than six months as an other than temporary decline in value.
For debt securities, when the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) has occurred. The impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. When the Company does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company assesses whether it will recover its amortized cost basis. If the entire amortized cost will not be recovered, a credit loss exists resulting in the credit loss portion of the OTTI being recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors recognized in OCI. Refer to Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s investments.
New Accounting Guidance
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. Under the amended guidance, an entity has the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount, then quantitative impairment testing is unnecessary. The Company adopted the amendments for its 2012 annual impairment test. After performing a qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded to a quantitative impairment test.

		2012 Acquisitions
		In April 2012, the Company acquired the remaining approximately 30 percent noncontrolling interest in Omnipay for approximately 37.1 million euro, of which 19.0 million euro ($25.1 million) was paid in April 2012 with the remainder to be paid in April 2013.
		In December 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Clover Network, Inc., a provider of payment network services for total consideration of $54.1 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction consisted of net cash consideration of $34.1 million as well as a series of contingent payments based on the achievement of specified sales targets. These contingent payments are classified as purchase consideration if made to outside investors and compensation if made to current and future employees.  As part of the purchase price, the Company recorded a $20 million liability for the contingent consideration due to outside investors based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of the future payments.   The acquisition will be reported as part of the Retail and Alliance Services segment.
		2012 Disposition
		During the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to a small divestiture. The transaction called for a series of contingent payments based on revenue over three years. As part of the sale price, the Company recorded a $14 million asset for the contingent consideration due based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of future receipts from the buyer.
		2011 Disposition
		In November 2011, the Company contributed the assets of its transportation business to an alliance in exchange for a 30% noncontrolling interest in that alliance, as discussed in further detail in Note 18 of these Consolidated Financial Statements, and accordingly, the transportation business was deconsolidated.
		2010 Redemption
		On June 26, 2009, Bank of America N.A. (“BofA”) and the Company, together with Rockmount, an investment vehicle controlled by a third-party investor, formed a new company, BAMS. BAMS provides clients with a comprehensive suite of acquiring and processing payment products for credit and debit cards as well as merchant loyalty, prepaid, check and e-commerce solutions.
		At the time of the formation, the Company owned a 48.45% direct voting interest in BAMS and Bank of America N.A. (“BofA”) owned a 46.55% direct voting interest. The remaining stake in BAMS was a 5% non-voting interest held by Rockmount. The Company owned a 40% noncontrolling interest in Rockmount. In May 2010, the third party owning a controlling interest in Rockmount exercised a put right on Rockmount’s beneficial interest in BAMS requiring net cash payments from FDC of $213 million. The redemption amount was based on Rockmount’s capital account balance in BAMS immediately prior to the redemption with an additional adjustment paid by the Company and Bank of America N.A. based on the level of BAMS revenues for the trailing 12 month period ended March 31, 2010. After redemption by Rockmount, the Company owns 51% of BAMS and Bank of America N.A. owns 49%.
		2010 Disposition
		During 2010, the Company received a contingent payment in connection with the November 2009 sale of a merchant acquiring business.

Settlement Assets and Obligations	'
	Note 4: Settlement Assets and Obligations
	Settlement assets and obligations result from FDC's processing services and associated settlement activities, including settlement of payment transactions. Settlement assets are generated principally from merchant services transactions. Certain merchant settlement assets that relate to settlement obligations accrued by the Company are held by partner banks to which the Company does not have legal ownership but has the right to use to satisfy the related settlement obligation. FDC records corresponding settlement obligations for amounts payable to merchants and for payment instruments not yet presented for settlement. The difference in the aggregate amount of such assets and liabilities is primarily due to unrealized net investment gains and losses, which are reported as OCI in equity. Due to the short period of time between receipt of cash from the associations and payment to the merchants, which typically occurs intra-day except on weekends, the changes in settlement assets and obligations are presented on a net basis within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Because the changes in the settlement assets balance exactly offset changes in settlement obligations, the activity nets to zero. The principal components of FDC's settlement assets and obligations are as follows:

	The majority of the Company’s investment securities are a component of settlement assets and represent the investment of funds received by the Company from prior sales of payment instruments (official checks and financial institution money orders) by authorized agents. The Company’s investment securities, excluding those classified as cash equivalents, within current settlement assets primarily consisted of municipal obligations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company’s long-term settlement assets were primarily comprised of student loan auction rate securities (“SLARS”) and municipal obligations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) on investments classified as settlement assets are recorded in the “Product sales and other” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also maintained investments in non-marketable securities, held for strategic purposes (collectively referred to as “cost method investments”) which are carried at cost and included in “Other long-term assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are evaluated for impairment upon an indicator of impairment such as an event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. As of September 30, 2013, there were no indicators of impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized an impairment of $8.7 million related to a cost method investment due to uncertainty regarding the investee’s viability as a going concern. Where there are no indicators of impairment present, the Company estimates the fair value for the cost method investments only if it is practicable to do so. As of September 30, 2013, it was deemed impracticable to estimate the fair value on $3.8 million of cost method assets due to the lack of sufficient data upon which to develop a valuation model and the costs of obtaining an independent valuation in relation to the size of the investments.
															All of the above investments, with the exception of cost method investments, were classified as available-for-sale. The Company uses specific identification to determine the cost of a security sold and the amount of gains and losses reclassified out of OCI into the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses on investments carried at fair value are included as a separate component of OCI, net of any related tax effects.

															In the fourth quarter of 2010, due to new and existing state laws and regulations as well as the Company's changing views of its use of capital, the Company determined it could no longer assert that it will not more likely than not be required to sell the SLARS prior to the recovery of their fair value to amortized cost.
															In January 2013, the company sold approximately $21 million of its holdings in SLARS resulting in a realized gain of $1.0 million.

															The Company also maintained investments in non-marketable securities, held for strategic purposes (collectively referred to as "cost method investments") which are carried at cost and included in "Other long-term assets" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are evaluated for impairment upon an indicator of impairment such as an event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recognized an impairment of $8.7 million related to a cost method investment due to uncertainty regarding the investee's viability as a going concern. Where there are no indicators of impairment present, the Company estimates the fair value for the cost method investments only if it is practicable to do so. As of December 31, 2012, it was deemed impracticable to estimate the fair value on $8.0 million of cost method assets due to the lack of sufficient data upon which to develop a valuation model and the costs of obtaining an independent valuation in relation to the size of the investments.

	Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities													Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	With respect to derivative instruments that are afforded hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of a net investment hedge that qualifies for hedge accounting are recorded as part of the cumulative translation adjustment in OCI to the extent the hedge is effective. Any ineffectiveness associated with designated cash flow hedges, as well as any change in the fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge, is recorded immediately in “Other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and the underlying hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges to forecasted transactions and net investment hedges to the underlying investment in a foreign subsidiary or affiliate. The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or foreign currency exposure of the underlying hedged items. The Company also performs an assessment of the probability of the forecasted transactions on a periodic basis. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective during the term of the hedge or if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively for such derivative.

	Credit Risk													Credit Risk
	The Company monitors the financial stability of its derivative counterparties and all counterparties remain highly-rated (in the “A” category or higher). The credit risk inherent in these agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review at inception of the hedge, as circumstances warrant, and at least on a quarterly basis of the credit risk of these counterparties. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with individual counterparties. The Company’s exposures are in liquid currencies (primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, Australian dollars, British pounds and Canadian dollars), so there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future.

														In January of 2013, the Company’s cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 69.6 million euro expired.  In January and February of 2013, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional values of 100.0 million Australian dollars and 200.0 million euro that were designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.
	Derivatives Not Qualifying for Hedge Accounting.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company held certain derivative instruments that functioned as economic hedges but no longer qualified or were not designated to qualify for hedge accounting. Such instruments included cross-currency swaps held in order to mitigate foreign currency exposure on intercompany loans and a portion of the Company’s net investment in its European operations, interest rate swaps held in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt and a fixed to floating interest rate swap held to maintain a desired ratio of fixed and variable rate debt.
														Derivatives Not Qualifying For Hedge Accounting.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held certain derivative instruments that functioned as economic hedges but no longer qualified or were not designated to qualify for hedge accounting. Such instruments included cross-currency swaps held in order to mitigate foreign currency exposure on intercompany loans and a portion of the Company’s net investment in its European operations, interest rate swaps held in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt and a fixed to floating interest rate swap held to maintain a desired ratio of fixed and variable rate debt.
	Interest rate swaps held during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion expired in September 2012. The Company held forward-starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion which became effective upon expiration of the prior instruments. The interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates as the prior interest rate swaps and will expire in September 2016. The Company did not designate the swaps as hedges for accounting purposes.
														Interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion expired in September 2012. During the third quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $3.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, all of which became effective upon expiration of the existing instruments. The interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and will expire in September 2016. The Company did not designate the swaps as hedges for accounting purposes.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company held cross-currency swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting with a total notional value of 21.5 million euro (approximately $29.1 million at September 30, 2013) and 91.1 million euro, respectively. In January of 2013, the Company’s cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 69.6 million euro expired.
														During 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap in order to preserve the ratio of fixed and floating debt.  The swap has a notional value of $750.0 million and expires on June 15, 2019, but is subject to a mandatory put that will result in cash settlement on June 15, 2015.
	During the first quarter of 2012, an interest rate swap with a total notional value of $500 million ceased to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and the Company therefore de-designated the cash flow hedge from the beginning of the quarter. For this and for previous cash flow hedge de-designations, the amount carried in OCI as of the date of de-designation was subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the forecasted transactions affected earnings. As of September 30, 2013, there are no longer any losses carried in OCI related to interest rate swaps that are expected to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
														During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company held a foreign exchange rate collar with a notional value of $1.9 million that expired on March 31, 2011.
	For information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, derivative gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and accumulated derivative gains and losses in OCI, refer to the tables presented below.
														During the third quarter of 2010, five interest rate swaps with a total notional balance of $2.5 billion and one basis rate swap with a notional balance of $1.0 billion expired.
	Derivatives that Qualify for Hedge Accounting
														As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held cross-currency swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting with a total notional value of 91.1 million euro (approximately $120.5 million at December 31, 2012). In January of 2013, the Company’s cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 69.6 million euro expired.
	Hedges of net investments in foreign operations. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional values of 100.0 million Australian dollars and 200.0 million euro that were designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.  During the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional values of 100.0 million British pounds and 75.0 million Canadian dollars that were designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company held cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of 215.0 million Australian dollars (approximately $201.4 million at September 30, 2013), 200.0 million euro (approximately $270.5 million at September 30, 2013), 100.0 million British pounds (approximately $160.8 million at September 30, 2013) and 75.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $72.7 million at September 30, 2013).  As of September 30, 2012, the Company held a cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 115.0 million Australian dollars that was designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
														During 2012, 2011, and 2010, certain interest rate swaps previously designated as hedges for accounting purposes ceased to qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The Company therefore de-designated the hedges and ceased to apply hedge accounting from the beginning of the quarter during which the respective de-designations occurred. The amount carried in OCI as of the date of de-designation was subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the forecasted transactions affect earnings. As of December 31, 2012, there are no longer any losses carried in OCI related to interest rate swaps that are expected to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the interest payments on its debt.

	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
														Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held a cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 115.0 million Australian dollars (approximately $119.3 million at December 31, 2012) that was designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company held interest rate swaps which were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the interest payments on $500 million of variable rate senior secured term loans which expired in September 2012. Since December 31, 2011, these designated cash flow hedges ceased to be highly effective in offsetting the variability in the interest payments, due in part to their approaching maturity dates, and were de-designated. Until the de-designation date of these cash flow hedges, the Company followed the hypothetical derivative method to measure hedge ineffectiveness which resulted mostly from the hedges being off-market at the time of designation, and any ineffectiveness was recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis										Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	Financial instruments carried and measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in the table below according to the fair value hierarchy:										Fair value is defined by accounting guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, based upon the available inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:
		As of September 30, 2013									·                          Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.
		Fair Value Measurement Using

		active markets			observable		unobservable

Settlement assets - student loan auction rate securities. Due to the lack of observable market activity for the SLARS held by the Company as of September 30, 2013, the Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm upon which the Company in part relied, made certain assumptions, primarily relating to estimating both the weighted-average life for the securities held by the Company and the impact on the fair value of the current inability to redeem the securities at par value. All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management. The securities were valued using an income approach based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The Company considered each security’s key terms including date of issuance, date of maturity, auction intervals, scheduled auction dates, maximum auction rates, as well as underlying collateral, ratings, and guarantees or insurance. Due to the use of unobservable inputs, these instruments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

A 50 basis point change in liquidity risk premium, as well as slight changes in other unobservable inputs including default probability and default recovery rate assumptions and the probability of an issuer call prior to maturity, would impact the value of the SLARS by approximately $1 million.

Derivative financial instruments. The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain risks. The Company’s derivatives are not exchange listed and therefore the fair value is estimated under an income approach using Bloomberg analytics models that are based on readily observable market inputs. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest and foreign currency exchange rates, yield curves and the credit quality of the counterparties. The models also incorporate the Company’s creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk. Inputs to the derivative pricing models are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity and, accordingly, the Company’s derivatives were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. While the Company believes its estimates result in a reasonable reflection of the fair value of these instruments, the estimated values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the near future.

Contingent liabilities.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to the acquisition of Clover Network, Inc. The transaction called for cash consideration as well as a series of contingent payments based on the achievement of specified sales targets. These contingent payments are classified as purchase consideration if made to outside investors and compensation if made to current and future employees. As part of the purchase price, the Company recorded a $20 million liability for the contingent consideration due to outside investors based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of the future payments. Subsequent measurements are made using the same methodology. This fair value measurement represents a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date. The primary assumption is the estimated number of merchant locations that will be using the software in the next four years.										Sales	(158.4		)

Municipal paper was valued under a market approach using observable inputs including maturity date, issue date, credit rating, current commercial paper rates and settlement date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not perform any material non-recurring fair value measurements.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded impairments totaling approximately $18 million on assets with a total carrying value of approximately $38 million due to the sale, expected sale or discontinued use of certain assets. The impairments related to property and equipment, customer relationships, software, and goodwill.  In addition, the Company impaired a strategic investment with a total carrying value of $8.7 million as discussed in Note 10.
										The Company’s experience with these types of investments and the expectations of the current investments held is that they will be satisfied at the current carrying amount. These securities were classified as Level 2.
The fair values of the impaired assets were estimated primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on management’s current cash flow projections and using assumptions that management believes are consistent with market participant assumptions. The inputs to the valuations are largely unobservable, and the measurements are accordingly classified as Level 3.  All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management.

										During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded impairments totaling approximately $22 million on assets with a total carrying value of approximately $42 million due to the sale, expected sale or discontinued use of certain assets. Approximately $5 million of the total impairments related to one business in the Financial Services segment and was recorded in the “Impairments” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, while the remaining amounts were individually insignificant and were recorded in the “Cost of services” line. The impairments related to property and equipment, customer relationships, software, and goodwill. In addition, the Company impaired a strategic investment with a total carrying value of $8.7 million within the Retail and Alliance Segment as discussed in Note 5. The impairment was recorded in the “Other income (expense)” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
										During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying value of existing assets based on non-recurring fair value measurements.
										During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded impairments in the Retail and Alliance and International segments totaling $11.5 million on assets with a total carrying value of $11.7 million, as a result of changes in management’s expectations with respect to projected cash flows, ongoing negative cash flows for certain assets or asset groups or due to the discontinued use of certain assets. The impairments related to property and equipment, customer relationships, software, other intangibles, and other long-term assets and were recorded in the “Impairments” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
										The fair values of the impaired assets were estimated primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis for 2012 and an income approach for 2010, both based on management’s current cash flow projections and using assumptions that management believed were consistent with market participant assumptions. The inputs to the valuations were largely unobservable, and the measurements were accordingly classified as Level 3. The majority of these assets were deemed fully impaired. All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management. This fair value measurement represents a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The fair value will be measured on a non-recurring basis. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions.
										Also during the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to a small divestiture. The transaction called for a series of contingent payments based on revenue over three years. As part of the sale price, the Company recorded a $14 million asset for the contingent consideration due based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of future receipts from the buyer.

FDC has agreed to use its reasonably best efforts to register notes with the SEC having substantially identical terms as the 11.25% senior unsecured notes, as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the 11.25% senior unsecured notes within 360 days after the issue date. If FDC fails to complete the exchange or, if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective within that time period (‘‘registration default’’), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per year. FDC may subsequently cure the registration default and the applicable interest rate on the unsecured notes will revert to the original rate. If FDC must pay additional interest, it will be paid in cash on the same dates that other interest payments on the notes are made, until the registration default is corrected.

As of December 31, 2012, FDC held interest rate swaps to mitigate exposure to variability in interest payments on the outstanding variable rate senior secured term loan. Refer to Note 6 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Company’s derivatives.

In August 2013, FDC paid off its 4.70% notes due 2013 for $15.1 million.

The original terms of FDC’s senior secured term loan facility required the Company to pay equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount. However, in conjunction with debt modifications and amendments over the last several years, proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used to prepay portions of the principal balances of FDC’s senior secured term loans which satisfied the future quarterly principal payments until September 2018. Therefore, the Company made no principal payments during 2011 or 2012. During 2010, the Company paid $96.2 million of principal payments on the senior secured term loan facility in accordance with the original provisions, of which $89.2 million related to the U.S. dollar-denominated loan and $7.0 million related to the euro-denominated loan.

Debt transactions effected subsequent to September 30, 2013

The senior secured term loan facility also requires mandatory prepayments based on a percentage of excess cash flow generated by FDC. All obligations under the senior secured loan facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries of FDC, subject to certain exceptions.

Debt Offering.  On October 30, 2013, FDC entered into an agreement to offer $1,000 million additional aggregate principal amount of 11.75% senior subordinated notes due 2021. FDC intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 11.25% senior subordinated notes due 2016 and to pay related fees and expenses.

2012 Modifications and Amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On March 13, 2012, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things:

The notes will be issued under the indenture governing the 11.75% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes due 2021 that were issued on May 30, 2013 described above. The notes are expected to be treated as a single series with the existing 11.75% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes and will have the same terms as the existing notes and will vote as one class under the indenture governing the notes.

(i) convert approximately $3.2 billion of the existing term loans maturing in 2014 (the “2014 Term Loans”) under FDC’s senior secured term credit facilities into a new dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a new euro-denominated term loan tranche, which will each mature on March 24, 2017 (collectively, the “2017 Term Loans”);

Related Financing Costs. In connection with this debt offering, FDC will incur approximately $11 million in lender and underwriting fees and other expenses.

(ii) permit FDC to provide a loan extension request upon such shorter notice period as may be agreed by the administrative agent;

(iii) permit the deduction of fees and expenses related to any loan extensions from the net cash proceeds of any substantially concurrent debt offering related thereto that are being used to repay term loans under its senior secured credit facilities;

(iv) increase the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) by the amount of outstanding 2014 Term Loans, provided such increased amount may only be used for the incurrence of indebtedness the net cash proceeds of which are substantially concurrently used to prepay 2014 Term Loans;

(v) increase the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount by the amount of any permanent reduction and/or termination of the revolving credit commitments after the effectiveness date of the Amendment Agreement;

(vi) permit voluntary prepayments of term loans to be directed to a class of Extended Term Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) without requiring a prepayment of existing term loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted; and

(vii) provide for an increase in the interest applicable to the 2017 Term Loans to a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (i) LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency plus 500 basis points or (ii) with regard to dollar-denominated borrowings, a base rate plus 400 basis points.

The amendment became effective on March 23, 2012 when FDC issued $845 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.375% senior secured notes due June 15, 2019 (refer to the “7.375% Senior Secured First Lien Notes” section below) and, using the net proceeds therefrom, effected a prepayment of the outstanding 2017 Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement of approximately $807 million.

In connection with the debt modification and amendments and the debt offering discussed above, FDC incurred costs of $31.5 million, $27.0 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the loans.

On August 16, 2012, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things:

(i)   convert approximately $295 million of the existing term loans maturing in 2014 under FDC’s senior secured term credit facilities into a new dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a new euro-denominated term loan tranche, each of which will mature on March 24, 2017; and

(ii)  provide for an increase in the interest applicable to these 2017 Term Loans to a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency plus 500 basis points or (b) with regard to dollar-denominated borrowings, a base rate plus 400 basis points.

In addition on August 16, 2012, the Company issued $1,300 million of 6.75% senior secured notes due November 1, 2020 described below. In accordance with the terms of FDC’s Amended Credit Agreement, FDC used the net proceeds from the issue and sale of approximately $1,266 million to repay a portion of its outstanding senior secured term loans.

FDC incurred costs of $23.2 million related to the August 2012 amendment and debt offering, $17.8 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense or over the remaining terms of the loans.

Additionally, on September 27, 2012, FDC entered into an Incremental Joinder Agreement relating to its credit agreement, pursuant to which FDC incurred $750 million in new term loans maturing on September 24, 2018 (“September 2018 Term Loans”).  The term loans were issued at 98.250% of the par amount for a discount totaling $13.1 million. The interest rate applicable to the September 2018 Term Loans is a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in U.S. dollars plus 500 basis points or (b) a base rate plus 400 basis points.

Also on September 27, 2012, FDC issued and sold $850 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes due November 1, 2020 described below.

In connection with the September 2012 Joinder Agreement and debt offering, FDC used the net cash proceeds to repay approximately $1,573 million of its outstanding dollar-denominated term loan borrowings maturing in 2014 and to pay related fees and expenses. FDC incurred costs of $21.0 million, $16.3 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the loans.

FDC’s 10.55% senior notes due September 24, 2015 are publicly tradable and require the payment of interest semi-annually on March 31 and September 30. The terms require that interest on these notes up to and including September 30, 2011 be paid entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding notes or by issuing senior PIK notes. Beginning October 1, 2011, interest was payable in cash and the first such payment was in April 2012. During 2011, FDC increased the principal amount of these notes by $73.1 million in accordance with this provision.

11.25% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes

FDC’s publicly tradable 11.25% senior subordinated notes due March 31, 2016 require the payment of interest semi-annually on March 31 and September 30.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs were capitalized in conjunction with certain of FDC’s debt issuances and totaled $218.2 million and $269.8 million, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deferred financing costs are reported in the “Other long-term assets” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining term of the respective debt, with a weighted-average period of 6 years. In addition, lender fees associated with debt modifications and amendments were capitalized as discounts on the debt and are similarly being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the respective debt.

Guarantees and Covenants

All obligations under the senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan facility are unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material domestic subsidiaries of FDC other than Integrated Payment Systems Inc. The senior secured facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict FDC’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell or transfer assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase FDC’s or its parent company’s capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; prepay certain indebtedness; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing certain indebtedness and change its lines of business. The senior secured facilities also require FDC to not exceed a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control. FDC is in compliance with all applicable covenants.

All senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of FDC’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantees FDC’s senior secured credit facilities. Each of the guarantees of the notes is a general senior obligation of each guarantor and rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantor subsidiary, including FDC’s existing senior subordinated notes. The notes rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantor subsidiary but are effectively senior to the guarantees of FDC’s existing senior unsecured notes and FDC’s existing senior secured second lien notes to the extent of the guarantor subsidiary’s value of the collateral securing the notes. The 7.375% Senior Secured First Lien Notes, 8.875% Senior Secured First Lien Notes, and 6.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes are effectively equal in right of payment with each other and the guarantees of FDC’s senior secured credit facilities. Each series of notes are effectively subordinated to any obligations secured by liens permitted under the indenture for the particular series of notes and structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any subsidiary of a guarantor that is not also a guarantor of the notes.

All senior unsecured notes (i) rank senior in right of payment to all of FDC’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness, (ii) rank equally in right of payment to all of the existing and future senior indebtedness, (iii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iv) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior notes.

The senior subordinated notes are unsecured and (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior subordinated debt, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to all future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated notes, (iii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iv) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior subordinated notes.

All obligations under the senior secured notes, senior secured second lien notes, PIK toggle senior second lien notes, senior unsecured notes, and senior unsecured subordinated notes also contain a number of covenants similar to those described for the senior secured obligations noted above. FDC is in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Debt transactions effected subsequent to December 31, 2012

Debt Offering and Debt Repurchase.  On January 30, 2013, FDC commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 10.55% senior unsecured notes.  The tender offer expired on February 27, 2013.  Noteholders that validly tendered their notes on or before February 12, 2013 received an early tender premium.  The completion of the tender offer was subject to the debt offering described below and certain other conditions.  In addition, on March 1, 2013, FDC redeemed the outstanding 10.55% senior unsecured notes that were not repurchased upon completion of the tender offer.

On February 13, 2013, the Company issued $785 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2021.  Interest on the notes will be payable in cash semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2013. FDC used the proceeds from the offering to repurchase all of its outstanding 10.55% senior unsecured notes as described above and to pay related fees and expenses.

The notes are unsecured and (i) rank senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the existing senior subordinated notes; (ii) rank equally in right of payment to any existing and future senior indebtedness; (iii) be effectively junior to all existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities, existing senior secured notes, existing senior secured second lien notes and capital leases to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and (iv) be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to the Company or one of its subsidiary guarantors).

The notes are similarly guaranteed in accordance with their terms by each of FDC’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under FDC’s senior secured term loan facility described above.  The notes also contain a number of covenants similar to those described for the senior secured obligations noted above.

FDC may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to January 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole premium.”  Thereafter, FDC may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at established redemption prices.  In addition, until January 15, 2016, FDC may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at 111.25% with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings.

FDC has agreed to use its reasonably best efforts to register notes with the SEC having substantially identical terms as the 11.25% senior unsecured notes, as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the 11.25% senior unsecured notes within 360 days after the issue date. If FDC fails to complete the exchange or, if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective within that time period (‘‘registration default’’), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per year. FDC may subsequently cure the registration default and the applicable interest rate on the unsecured notes will revert to the original rate. If FDC must pay additional interest, it will be paid in cash on the same dates that other interest payments on the notes are made, until the registration default is corrected.

Joinder Agreement to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On February 13, 2013, FDC entered into a February 2013 Joinder Agreement relating to its credit agreement, pursuant to which FDC incurred $258 million in new term loans maturing on September 24, 2018.  The interest rate applicable to the new September 2018 Term Loans is a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in U.S. dollars plus 500 basis points or (b) a base rate plus 400 basis points.  FDC used the net cash proceeds from the new term loans to repay all of its outstanding term loan borrowings maturing in 2014 and to pay related fees and expenses.

Related Financing Costs. In connection with the debt offering and amendment to the senior secured credit facilities discussed above, the Company incurred lender fees and other expenses of approximately $14 million, excluding premiums paid of approximately $21 million related to the tender offer and debt repurchase.

Other

In November 2011, FDC paid off its 5.625% notes due 2011 for $32.6 million.

In June 2010, FDC paid off its 4.50% notes due 2010 for $13.1 million.

													Significant non-cash transactions. During 2011 and 2010, the principal amount of FDC’s senior notes due 2015 increased by $73.1 million and $362.5 million, respectively, resulting from the “payment” of accrued interest expense. The decrease in the amount of interest expense accrued during 2011 is due to the December 2010 exchange of notes discussed below.  The terms of FDC’s senior unsecured notes due 2015 require interest to be paid in cash for all periods after October 1, 2011.
													In December 2011, the Company exchanged substantially all of its aggregate principal amounts of $3.0 billion of its 12.625% senior notes due 2021 for publicly tradable notes having substantially identical terms and guarantees, except that the exchange notes will be freely tradable.

	Note 10: Related Party Transactions
	Merchant Alliances
	A substantial portion of the Company’s business within the Retail and Alliance Services and International segments is conducted through merchant alliances. Merchant alliances are alliances between the Company and financial institutions. If the Company has majority ownership and management control over an alliance, then the alliance’s financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company and the related processing fees are treated as an intercompany transaction and eliminated upon consolidation. If the Company does not have a controlling ownership interest in an alliance, it uses the equity method of accounting to account for its investment in the alliance. As a result, the Company’s consolidated revenues include processing fees charged to alliances accounted for under the equity method. No directors or officers of the Company have ownership interests in any of the alliances. The formation of each of these alliances generally involves the Company and the bank contributing contractual merchant relationships to the alliance and a cash payment from one owner to the other to achieve the desired ownership percentage for each. The Company and the bank contract a long-term processing service agreement as part of the negotiation process. This agreement governs the Company’s provision of transaction processing services to the alliance.
	The Company negotiated all agreements with the alliance banks. Therefore, all transactions between the Company and its alliances were conducted at arm’s length; nevertheless, accounting guidance defines a transaction between the Company and an equity method investee as a related party transaction requiring separate disclosure in the financial statements of the Company. Accordingly, the revenue associated with these related party transactions are presented on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Management Agreement
	First Data has a management agreement with affiliates of KKR (the “Management Agreement”) pursuant to which KKR provides management, consulting, financial and other advisory services to the Company. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, KKR receives an aggregate annual management fee and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provision of services. The Management Agreement has an initial term expiring on December 31, 2019, provided that the term will be extended annually thereafter unless the Company provides prior written notice of its desire not to automatically extend the term. The Management Agreement provides that KKR also is entitled to receive a fee equal to a percentage of the gross transaction value in connection with certain subsequent financing, acquisition, disposition and change of control transactions, as well as a termination fee based on the net present value of future payment obligations under the Management Agreement in the event of an initial public offering or under certain other circumstances. The Management Agreement terminates automatically upon the consummation of an initial public offering and may be terminated at any time by mutual consent of the Company and KKR. The Management Agreement also contains customary exculpation and indemnification provisions in favor of KKR and its affiliates. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $20.1 million, $20.0 million and $20.5 million, respectively, of management fees.
	All members of the Company’s Board of Directors are affiliated with KKR.
	Transactions and Balances Involving Company Affiliates
	In August 2010, the Company paid KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”), an affiliate of KKR, $5 million for services rendered in arranging for the amendment of the Company’s credit agreement.
	On November 17, 2010, the Company entered into a dealer manager agreement and fee letter (collectively the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) with, among others, KCM, pursuant to which KCM agreed to act as a dealer manager for the exchange of certain of the Company’s existing notes for new securities (the “Exchange”). Under the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, upon completion of the Exchange in December 2010, the Company paid $26.1 million to KCM.
	On April 12, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Engagement Letter with KCM and others, pursuant to which KCM agreed to assist in arranging and coordinating the Company’s request for an extension of the maturity of certain commitment and loans under its senior secured lending facility.  The Company paid KCM $1.25 million in April 2011 for such services.
	On April 13, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with, among others, KCM, in which KCM agreed to serve as one of the initial purchasers for an offering of secured notes and receive a portion of the underwriting commission for the offering.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid underwriting commissions of $0.5 million to KCM.
	On February 28, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Engagement Letter with KCM and others, pursuant to which KCM agreed to assist in arranging and coordinating the Company’s request for an extension of the maturity of certain commitments and loans under its senior secured lending facility.  The Company paid KCM $0.6 million for such services.
	In 2012 and January 2013, KCM assisted the Company in arranging and coordinating the Company’s request for an extension of the maturity of certain commitments and loans under its senior secured lending facility.  The Company paid KCM $2.4 million for such services.  Also during 2012 and January 2013, the Company entered into purchase agreements in which KCM agreed to serve as one of the initial purchasers for offerings of secured notes and receive a portion of the underwriting commissions for the offerings.  Under the terms of the agreements, the Company paid underwriting commissions to KCM of $8.6 million.
	During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid $12.3 million, $12.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of expenses to Capstone Consulting LLC, a consulting company that works exclusively with KKR’s portfolio companies, for consulting, financial and other advisory services provided to the Company.

	The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. Accruals have been made with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company. The matters discussed below, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, may result in liability material to the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations.	Operating Leases
	Legal	The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements, substantially all of which contain renewal options and escalation provisions. The following table presents the amounts associated with total rent expense for operating leases:
	On July 2, 2004, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, its subsidiary Concord EFS, Inc., and various financial institutions. Plaintiffs claim that the defendants violated antitrust laws by conspiring to artificially inflate foreign ATM fees that were ultimately charged to ATM cardholders. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and such other relief as the nature of the case may require or as may seem just and proper to the court. Similar suits were filed and served in July, August and October 2004 (referred to collectively as the “ATM Fee Antitrust Litigation”). The Court granted judgment in favor of the defendants, dismissing the case on September 17, 2010. On October 14, 2010, the plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment. On July 12, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Northern District Court of California’s dismissal of all the claims against the defendants.   On July 26, 2012, the plaintiffs petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing en banc and on March 13, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order denying the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing. On July 11, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court and on October 7, 2013, the United States Supreme Court denied such writ of certiorari.	Year ended December 31,	Amount
		(in millions)
	There are asserted claims against the Company where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be reasonably possible. These claims can generally be categorized in the following areas: (1) patent infringement which results from claims that the Company is using technology that has been patented by another party; (2) merchant matters often associated with alleged processing errors or disclosure issues and claims that one of the subsidiaries of the Company has violated a federal or state requirement regarding credit reporting or collection in connection with its check verification guarantee, and collection activities; and (3) other matters which may include issues such as employment. The Company’s estimates of the possible ranges of losses in excess of any amounts accrued are $0 to $40 million for patent infringement, $0 to $45 million for merchant matters and $0 to $5 million for other matters, resulting in a total estimated range of possible losses of $0 to $90 million for all of the matters described above.	2012	$	72.4
		2011	81.3
	The estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. As additional information becomes available and the resolution of the uncertainties becomes more apparent, it is possible that actual losses may exceed even the high end of the estimated range.	2010	83.7
	Other
		Future minimum aggregate rental commitments as of December 31, 2012 under all noncancelable operating leases, net of sublease income, were $293.3 million and are due in the following years:
	In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including indemnification obligations to purchasers of former subsidiaries. Management of the Company believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

		Sublease income is earned from leased space which FDC concurrently subleases to third parties with comparable time periods. As of December 31, 2012, there were no sublease amounts in FDC obligations. In addition, the Company has certain guarantees imbedded in leases and other agreements wherein the Company is required to relieve the counterparty in the event of changes in the tax code or rates. The Company believes the fair value of such guarantees is insignificant due to the likelihood and extent of the potential changes.
		Letters of Credit
		The Company has $45.1 million in outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2012, all of which were issued under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility and expire prior to December 10, 2013 with a one-year renewal option. The letters of credit are held in connection with lease arrangements, bankcard association agreements and other security agreements. The Company expects to renew most of the letters of credit prior to expiration.

The Court granted judgment in favor of the defendants, dismissing the case on September 17, 2010. On October 14, 2010, the plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment. On July 12, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Northern District Court of California’s dismissal of all the claims against the defendants.   On July 26, 2012, the plaintiffs petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing en banc. The Company continues to believe the complaints are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them.
		There are asserted claims against the Company where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be reasonably possible. These claims can generally be categorized in the following areas: (1) patent infringement which results from claims that the Company is using technology that has been patented by another party; (2) Merchant customer matters often associated with alleged processing errors or disclosure issues and claims that one of the subsidiaries of the Company has violated a federal or state requirement regarding credit reporting or collection in connection with its check verification guarantee, and collection activities; and (3) other matters which may include issues such as employment. The Company’s estimates of the possible ranges of losses in excess of any amounts accrued are $0 to $6 million for patent infringement, $0 to $75 million for merchant customer matters and $0 to $4 million for other matters, resulting in a total estimated range of possible losses of $0 to $85 million for all of the matters described above.
		The estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. As additional information becomes available and the resolution of the uncertainties becomes more apparent, it is possible that actual losses may exceed even the high end of the estimated range.
		Other
		In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including indemnification obligations to purchasers of former subsidiaries. Management of the Company believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
		As discussed in Note 3 of these Consolidated Financial Statements, during the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to the acquisition of Clover Network, Inc. The transaction called for cash consideration as well as a series of contingent payments based on the achievement of specified sales targets. These contingent payments are classified as purchase consideration if made to outside investors and compensation if made to current and future employees. As part of the purchase price, the Company recorded a $20 million liability for the contingent consideration due to outside investors based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of the future payments.
		Also during the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to a small divestiture. The transaction called for a series of contingent payments based on revenue over three years. As part of the sale price, the Company recorded a $14 million asset for the contingent consideration due based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of future receipts from the buyer.

	Note 9: Stock Compensation Plans
											Note 13: Stock Compensation Plans
	The Company defers recognition of substantially all of the stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards and units. Due to the nature of call rights associated with stock options, the Company will recognize expense related to most options only upon certain liquidity or employment termination events. The nature of the call rights associated with stock options creates a performance condition that is not considered probable until the occurrence of one of the events described above. The call rights create a performance condition as they allow the Company to repurchase options at the lesser of the fair value or the exercise price upon an option holder’s voluntary termination.
											The Company's parent, Holdings, has a stock incentive plan for certain management employees of FDC and its affiliates ("stock plan"). The stock plan provides the opportunity for certain management employees to purchase shares in Holdings and then receive a number of options or restricted stock based on a multiple of their investment in such shares. The plan also allows for the Company to award shares and options to management employees. The participants of the stock plan enter into a management stockholders' agreement. Principal terms of the management stockholders' agreement include restrictions on transfers, lock ups, right of first refusal, registration rights, and a confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete covenant. The expense associated with this plan is recorded by FDC. The number of shares authorized under the stock plan is 119.5 million, 83 million of which are authorized for options.
	Stock-based compensation expense will be recognized related to certain restricted stock awards and units only upon a liquidity or employment termination event which triggers vesting. For the remaining awards that vest based solely on service conditions, expense is recognized over the requisite service period.
											The participants of the stock plan have the right to require Holdings to repurchase the shares and options upon the employee's termination due to death or disability. The put rights expire one year after the termination event or upon a change in control. The repurchase price for the shares is their fair market value at the time of repurchase. The repurchase price for the options is their intrinsic value at the time of repurchase.
	Under certain circumstances, the Company redeems common stock held by its employees on behalf of its Parent Company First Data Holding Inc. (“Holdings”).
											Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the "Selling, general and administrative" line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards and non-vested restricted stock units was as follows:

											2010		17.1
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $20 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized as a result of granting an executive officer shares of common stock of Holdings and fully vested restricted stock units.										The Company has a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors that allows each of these directors to defer their annual compensation. The plan is unfunded. For purposes of determining the investment return on the deferred compensation, each director's account is treated as if credited with a number of shares of Holdings stock determined by dividing the deferred compensation amount by the first Board approved fair value of the stock during the year. The account balance will be paid in cash upon termination of Board service, certain liquidity events or other certain events at the fair value of the stock at the time of settlement. Due to the cash settlement provisions, the account balances are recorded as a liability and are adjusted to fair value quarterly. As of December 31, 2012, the balance of this liability was $0.8 million.
	Stock Options										Stock Options
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 time-based options were granted under the stock plan. The time-based options granted generally vest equally over a three to five year period.										During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, time-based options were granted under the stock plan and during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, performance-based options were granted under the stock plan. The time-based options and performance-based options have a contractual term of 10 years. Time-based options vest equally over a three to five year period from the date of issuance and performance-based options vest based upon the Company achieving certain EBITDA targets. The options also have certain accelerated vesting provisions that become effective upon a change in control, a qualified public offering, or certain termination events.
	As of September 30, 2013 there was approximately $178 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. Approximately $3 million will be recognized over a period of approximately one year while approximately $175 million will only be recognized upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events.										In May 2010, the Company modified the terms of time-based options and substantially all performance-based options outstanding under the stock plan. The modifications only affected active employees as of the modification date. The exercise price on previously granted time-based options was reduced from $5 to $3. The Company is continuing to recognize expense on these options based on the original grant date fair value amortized over the remaining original vesting schedule. Subsequent to the modification, due to the nature of the call rights associated with the time-based options, which expire 180 days after certain employment termination events or the latter of September 24, 2012 or a qualified public offering, the incremental stock option fair value from the change in exercise price and the total fair value of time-based options issued since the modification date will only be recognized upon the occurrence of such events. Prior to the modifications, the call rights expired 180 days after certain employment termination events or the earlier of September 24, 2012 or a change in control. In addition, substantially all outstanding performance-based options were cancelled and reissued. The reissued performance-based options have an exercise price of $3 and a tiered vesting schedule that provides for vesting of 25%, 75% or 100% of the options if the Company achieves certain EBITDA targets in any fiscal year between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2013. The performance-based options have the same call rights as the time-based options described above. Due to the call rights, the Company will only recognize expense on the performance-based options upon certain employment termination events or the latter of September 24, 2012 or a qualified public offering. In conjunction with the above noted modifications, stock plan participants also received a cash bonus payment in the second quarter of 2010 totaling $7.8 million.
	The fair value of Holdings stock options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:										The nature of the call rights associated with stock options described above creates a performance condition that is not considered probable until the occurrence of one of the events described above. The call rights create a performance condition as they allow the Company to repurchase options at the lesser of the fair value or the exercise price upon an option holder's voluntary termination.
		Nine months ended									As of December 31, 2012 there was approximately $99 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. Approximately $5 million will be recognized over a period of approximately two years while approximately $94 million will only be recognized upon a qualified public offering or certain liquidity or employment termination events.

	Restricted stock awards were granted under the stock plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $58 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock. Approximately $4 million will be recognized over a period of approximately two years while approximately $54 million will only be recognized upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events.										Expected dividend yield—No routine dividends are currently being paid by Holdings, or are expected to be paid in future periods.
	A summary of Holdings restricted stock award and restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:										Expected volatility—As Holdings is a non-publicly traded company, the expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of a group of guideline companies.
	(awards/units in millions)	Awards/Units		Weighted-Average							Expected term—The Company estimated the expected term by considering the historical exercise and termination behavior of employees that participated in the Company's previous equity plans, the vesting conditions of options granted under the stock plan, as well as the impact of limited liquidity for common stock of a non-publicly traded company.

											Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
											Restricted stock awards were granted under the stock plan during 2012, 2011 and 2010. Grants were made as incentive awards. The restrictions on the awards granted subsequent to the modifications described above will lapse upon a qualified public offering, a change in control or certain employment termination or liquidity events. As such, the Company is not recognizing expense on awards granted subsequent to the modifications described above.

														Defined Benefit Plans
														The Company has a defined benefit pension plan which is frozen and covers certain full-time employees in the U.S. The Company also has separate plans covering certain employees located primarily in the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece and Austria.
														In December 2011, the Company received judicial confirmation that a change in U.K. law restricted the Company’s ability to eliminate the effects of future compensation increases on the plan’s benefits associated with a curtailment recorded in 2009.  As a result, benefits related to future compensation increases were reinstated but the plan remained frozen to benefit accruals related to length of service and all other factors.  The Company recorded a loss of approximately $7 million, net of income taxes, in other comprehensive income in 2011.  In December 2012, the Company initiated actions to freeze the plan benefits related to future salary increases subject to participant approval.  The Company expects to record a curtailment gain in other comprehensive income in 2013.

														2012		2011		2010
													Discount rate	4.29	%	4.75	%	5.4	%
													Rate of compensation increase (a)	3.95	%	3.77	%	4	%
													(a)                  The rate of compensation increases generally apply to active plans.
													The weighted-average rate assumptions used in the measurement of the Company’s net cost are as follows:
														Year ended December 31,
														2012		2011		2010
													Discount rate	4.71	%	5.21	%	5.55	%
													Expected long-term return on plan assets	6.11	%	6.83	%	6.86	%
													Rate of compensation increase (a)	3.6	%	4.24	%	4	%
													(a)                  The rate of compensation increases generally apply to active plans.
													Assumptions for the U.S. plans and the foreign plans are comparable in all of the above periods. The Company employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets with proper consideration of diversification and re-balancing. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed-income securities are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed to check for reasonableness and appropriateness. All assumptions are the responsibility of management.
													Plan assets. The Company’s pension plan target asset allocation, based on the investment policy as of December 31, 2012, is as follows:
														Target		Target
														allocation		allocation
													Asset Category	U.S. plans		Foreign plans
													Equity securities	40	%	60	%
													Debt securities	60	%	40	%
													The Company employs a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities and plan funded status. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and global equity investments. In addition, private equity securities comprise a very small part of the equity allocation. The fixed income allocation is a combination of fixed income investment strategies designed to contribute to the total rate of return of all plan assets while minimizing risk and supporting the duration of plan liabilities.
													Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements, and periodic asset and liability studies. The general philosophy of the Benefit Committee in setting the allocation percentages for the domestic plan shown above is to adhere to the appropriate allocation mix necessary to support the underlying plan liabilities as influenced significantly by the demographics of the participants and the frozen nature of the plan.
													The goal of the Board of Trustees of the United Kingdom plan is the acquisition of secure assets of appropriate liquidity which are expected to generate income and capital growth to meet, together with new contributions from the Company, the cost of current and future benefits, as set out in the Trust Deed and Rules. The Trustees, together with the plan’s consultants and actuaries, further design the asset allocation shown above to limit the risk of the assets failing to meet the liabilities over the long term. Currently the equity allocation is diversified amongst both United Kingdom and non-United Kingdom equities from North America, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific. A small portion is allocated to other global emerging market equity securities. Fixed income is allocated primarily to United Kingdom government bond securities with the remaining portion in investment-grade corporate bonds.
													Fair value measurements. Financial instruments included in plan assets carried and measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in the table below according to the hierarchy described in Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements:

													Registered investment companies. The Company’s domestic plan has investments in shares of mutual funds, primarily large cap, international and global equity funds, that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prices of these funds are based on Net Asset Values (“NAV”) calculated by the funds and are publicly reported on national exchanges. The plan measures fair value of these investments using the NAV provided by the fund managers.
													Fixed income securities. The Company’s domestic plan has investments in several fixed income securities, primarily corporate bonds. The bonds were valued under a market approach using observable inputs including reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other standard inputs.
													Private investment funds—redeemable. The Company’s domestic and United Kingdom plans are invested in shares or units of several private investment funds, not the underlying assets. Redeemable private investment funds include collective trusts, comingled funds, pooled funds, limited partnerships and limited liability corporations. The funds calculate NAV on a periodic basis and are available only from the fund managers. Private investment funds are redeemable at the NAV.
													Private investment funds—non-redeemable. The Company’s domestic plan has investments in several partnerships (limited partnership and limited liability corporations) for which the plan has a limited ability to redeem or transfer its interests; therefore, there is an illiquid market in which the plan can exit these investments. As a result, the plan measures fair value of these investments using estimates of fair value which come from partner capital statements provided by the partnerships.
													Insurance annuity contracts. The Company’s United Kingdom Plan is invested in several insurance annuity contracts. The value of these contracts is calculated by estimating future payments and discounting them to present value. As a result, there is no market for the Plan to exit these investments.
													Contributions. Contributions to the plans in 2013 are expected to be approximately $42 million.
													The estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be as follows:
													Year ended December 31,	Amount

	Note 13: Income Taxes	Note 17: Income Taxes
	The Company’s effective tax rates on pretax loss were expenses of 18.9% and 19.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and benefits of 28.5% and 38.5% for the same periods in 2012. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were lower than the statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances being recorded in certain tax jurisdictions, where deferred tax benefits are not recognized on pretax losses, while tax expense is recognized in jurisdictions with pretax earnings. Also negatively impacting the rate was an increase in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  These negative adjustments were partially offset by state tax benefits, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from pass-through entities for which there was no tax expense provided, certain immaterial prior period adjustments and foreign income taxed at lower effective rates.  As a result of the Company’s pretax losses in each of the periods, favorable and unfavorable tax impacts have the opposite effect on the effective tax rate.		Year ended December 31,
		(in millions)	2012			2011			2010
	The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were each favorably impacted by state tax benefits, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for which there was no tax expense provided and foreign income taxed at lower effective rates, and unfavorably impacted by increases in the Company’s valuation allowance against foreign tax credits.  In addition to the above factors, the three-month period was unfavorably impacted by certain immaterial prior period adjustments, while the nine-month period was favorably impacted by a decrease in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits.	Components of pretax (loss) income:
		Domestic	$	(875.5	)	$	(898.9	)	$	(1,289.1	)
	The Company projects that its deferred tax assets will exceed its deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2013.  As a result, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not that it would be able to realize the value of its federal and combined state net operating loss carryforwards and has recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of these carryforwards.  This valuation allowance is expected to increase over time as the Company’s deferred tax liabilities continue to decrease and will have a continuing adverse impact on the Company’s effective tax rate in the future.	Foreign	124.2			292.7			118.4
			$	(751.3	)	$	(606.2	)	$	(1,170.7	)
	The balance of the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $288 million as of September 30, 2013.  The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $138 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of federal tax audits, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.

		(b)         The impact of contribution to alliance represents the tax effects resulting from the gain on the contribution of the Company’s transportation business in exchange for a 30% interest in an alliance.
		(c)          The 2012 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by a total of approximately 9% as a result of the current year cumulative correction of immaterial prior year errors.  The cumulative corrections had an impact on each of the following line items above:  Impact of foreign operations, Valuation allowances, Liability for unrecognized tax benefits and Prior year adjustments.

			$	(224.0	)	$	(270.1	)	$	(323.8	)
		Income tax payments, net of refunds received, of $70.1 million, $67.2 million and $100.5 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were greater than current expense primarily as a result of the decreased liability for unrecognized tax benefits reducing current expense.
		Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets are included in both “Other current assets” and “Other long-term assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred tax liabilities are included in “Deferred long-term tax liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table outlines the principal components of deferred tax items:
			As of December 31,
		(in millions)	2012			2011(a)

		Reserves and other accrued expenses	$	543.5		$	450.3

	Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(425.2	)	$	(576.6	)
	(a)         Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
	The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
		As of December 31,
	(in millions)	2012			2011
	Current deferred tax assets	$	73.9		$	108.3
	Long-term deferred tax assets	10.4			10.5
	Long-term deferred tax liabilities	(509.5		)	(695.4		)
	Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(425.2	)	$	(576.6	)
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had recorded valuation allowances of $896.5 million and $744.6 million, respectively, against federal, state and foreign net operating and capital losses, foreign tax credits and impairments. The increase to the valuation allowance of $151.9 million in 2012 was primarily due to current year foreign and state net operating losses which may not be utilized within the statute of limitations and foreign tax credits for which it is likely that no benefit will be realized in the future. In determining the necessary amount of valuation allowance, the Company has considered a tax planning strategy related to its investments in affiliates.  Implementation of this strategy would result in the immediate reversal of temporary differences associated with the excess of book basis over tax basis in the investments.
	The following table presents the approximate amounts of federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit, general business credit and minimum tax credit carryforwards:
		As of December 31,
	(in millions)	2012
	Federal net operating loss carryforwards (a)	$	1,766.10
	State net operating loss carryforwards (b)	2,759.20
	Foreign net operating loss carryforwards (c)	2,450.00
	Foreign tax credit carryforwards (d)	144.1
	General business credit carryforwards (e)	11.1
	Minimum tax credit carryforwards (f)	1.6
	(a)                  If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2015 through 2032.
	(b)                  If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2013 through 2032.
	(c)                   Foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $137 million, if not utilized, will expire in years 2013 through 2027. The remaining foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2,313 million have an indefinite life.
	(d)                  If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2018 through 2022.
	(e)                   If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2027 through 2031.
	(f)                    These carryforwards have an indefinite life.
	The Company intends to indefinitely invest its net equity in its foreign operations, with the exception of any undistributed foreign earnings.  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2012, no provision had been made for U.S. federal and state income taxes on the cumulative amount of temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries, other than those differences related to the undistributed earnings.  Upon sale or liquidation of these investments, the Company would potentially be subject to U.S., state and foreign income taxes and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.  Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.
	A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 is as follows:
	(in millions)	Unrecognized Tax Benefits

	Most of the unrecognized tax benefits are included in the “Other long-term liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of the federal benefit on state income taxes (approximately $21 million at December 31, 2012).  However, those unrecognized tax benefits that affect the federal consolidated tax years ending December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012 are included in the “Long-term deferred tax liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets,” as these items reduce the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards from those periods.  The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 included approximately $163 million, $172 million, and $195 million, respectively, of tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
	During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $52 million upon closure of the 2003 and 2004 federal tax years and the resolution of certain state audit issues.  The reduction in liabilities was recorded through a decrease to tax expense and an increase to deferred tax liabilities.
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $25 million after negotiating settlements with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding specific contested issues in the 2003 through 2006 federal tax years. The reduction in liabilities was recorded through a decrease to tax expense.
	During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $39 million upon the closure of the 2002 federal tax year and after negotiating settlements with the IRS regarding specific contested issues in the 2003 and 2004 federal tax years. The reduction in the liability was recorded through a decrease to tax expense and an increase to deferred tax liabilities.
	The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the “Income tax (benefit) expense” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Cumulative accrued interest and penalties (net of related tax benefits) are not included in the ending balances of unrecognized tax benefits.  Cumulative accrued interest and penalties are included in the “Other long-term liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets while the related tax benefits are included in the “Long-term deferred tax liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The following table presents the approximate amounts associated with accrued interest expense and the cumulative accrued interest and penalties:
		Year ended December 31,
		2012			2011			2010
	Current year accrued interest expense (net of related tax benefits)	$	4		$	9		$	14
	Cumulative accrued interest and penalties (net of related tax benefits)	$	47		$	69		$	67
	As of December 31, 2012, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $126 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of its 2005 through 2007 federal tax years, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The potential decrease relates to various federal, state and foreign tax benefits including research and experimentation credits, transfer pricing adjustments and certain amortization and loss deductions.
	The Company or one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company was no longer subject to income tax examination by the U.S. federal jurisdiction for years before 2005.  State and local examinations are substantially complete through 2002.  Foreign jurisdictions generally remain subject to examination by their respective authorities from 2005 forward, none of which are considered major jurisdictions.
	Under the Tax Allocation Agreement executed at the time of the spin-off of The Western Union Company (“Western Union”) on September 29, 2006, Western Union is responsible for and must indemnify the Company against all taxes, interest and penalties that relate to Western Union for periods prior to the spin-off date. If Western Union were to agree to or be finally determined to owe any amounts for such periods but were to default in its indemnification obligation under the Tax Allocation Agreement, the Company as parent of the tax group during such periods generally would be required to pay the amounts to the relevant tax authority, resulting in a potentially material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $110 million of income taxes payable, including approximately $4 million of uncertain income tax liabilities, recorded related to Western Union for periods prior to the spin-off date. The Company has recorded a corresponding account receivable of equal amount from Western Union, which is included as a long-term account receivable in the “Other long-term assets” line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, reflecting the indemnification obligation.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the uncertain income tax liabilities related to Western Union decreased by approximately $14 million as a result of the closure of the 2003-2004 federal tax years.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that the uncertain tax liabilities related to Western Union may decrease by approximately $4 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of its 2005 and 2006 federal tax years.  The uncertain income tax liabilities and corresponding receivable are based on information provided by Western Union regarding its tax contingency reserves for periods prior to the spin-off date. There is no assurance that a Western Union-related issue raised by the IRS or other tax authority will be finally resolved at a cost not in excess of the amount reserved and reflected in the Company’s uncertain income tax liabilities and corresponding receivable from Western Union.  The Western Union contingent liability is in addition to the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits discussed above.
	The IRS completed its examination of the U.S. federal consolidated income tax returns of the Company for 2005-2007 and issued a 30-Day letter on October 31, 2012.  The 30-Day letter claims that the Company and its subsidiaries, which included Western Union during some of the years at issue, owe additional taxes with respect to a variety of adjustments.  The Company and Western Union agree with several of the adjustments in the 30-Day letter, such adjustments representing tax due of approximately $40 million.  This undisputed tax and associated interest due (pretax) of approximately $16 million through December 31, 2012, have been fully reserved.  The undisputed tax for which Western Union would be required to indemnify the Company is greater than the total tax due, such that settlement of the undisputed tax would result in a net refund to the Company.  As to the adjustments that are disputed, such issues represent total taxes allegedly due of approximately $59 million, of which $40 million relates to the Company and $19 million relates to Western Union.  The Company estimates that total interest due (pretax) on the disputed amounts is approximately $16 million through December 31, 2012, of which $9 million relates to the Company and $7 million relates to Western Union.  As to the disputed issues, the Company and Western Union have contested the adjustments by filing a protest with the IRS.  The IRS has prepared a rebuttal to the protest and has forwarded the case to Appeals. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the disputed issues in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits described above and that final resolution of those issues will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

	Note 18: Investment in Affiliates
	Operating results include the Company’s proportionate share of income from affiliates, which consist of unconsolidated investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The most significant of these affiliates are related to the Company’s merchant bank alliance program.
	A merchant alliance, as it pertains to investments accounted for under the equity method, is an agreement between FDC and a financial institution that combines the processing capabilities and management expertise of the Company with the visibility and distribution channel of the bank. The alliance acquires credit and debit card transactions from merchants. The Company provides processing and other services to the alliance and charges fees to the alliance primarily based on contractual pricing. These fees have been separately identified on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	In November 2011, the Company formed an alliance, TCH LLC, by contributing the assets of its transportation business (a controlling interest in a business) to the alliance in exchange for a noncontrolling 30% interest in TCH, LLC.  The alliance is accounted for as an equity method investment by the Company.  The Company recognized a pretax gain of $59.1 million in the “Other income (expense)” line item of the Consolidated Statement of Operations upon deconsolidation of the Company’s assets associated with its transportation business and contribution of those assets to the alliance.
	In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company funded $160.0 million to one of its merchant alliance partners for referrals from bank branches contributed to the alliance as called for by the agreement that extended the term of the alliance in 2008.
	At December 31, 2012, there were ten affiliates accounted for under the equity method of accounting, comprised of five merchant alliances and five strategic investments in companies in related markets.
	A summary of unaudited financial information for the merchant alliances and other affiliates accounted for under the equity method of accounting is presented below.
		As of December 31,
	(in millions)	2012		2011
	Total assets	$	2,834.80	$	2,820.30
	Total liabilities	2,467.90		2,514.70
	The primary components of assets and liabilities are settlement-related accounts similar to those described in Note 4 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
		Year ended December 31,
	(in millions)	2012		2011		2010
	Net operating revenues	$	1,278.40	$	1,114.40	$	999.1
	Operating expenses	630.2		577.4		520.6
	Operating income	$	648.2	$	537	$	478.5
	Net income	$	639.4	$	509.8	$	455.6
	FDC equity earnings	$	158.2	$	153.4	$	117.3
	The formation of a merchant alliance accounted for under the equity method of accounting generally involves the Company and/or a financial institution contributing merchant contracts to the alliance and a cash payment from one owner to the other to achieve the desired ownership percentages. The asset amounts reflected above are owned by the alliances and other equity method investees and do not include any of such payments made by the Company.  The amount by which the total of the Company’s investments in affiliates exceeded its proportionate share of the investees’ net assets was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	The non-goodwill portion of this amount is considered an identifiable intangible asset that is amortized.  The estimated future amortization expense for these intangible assets as of December 31, 2012 is as follows:
	Year ended December 31,	Amount
	(in millions)
	2013	$	78.4
	2014	62.2
	2015	57.1
	2016	52.3
	2017	49.1
	Thereafter	48.2
	These amounts assume that these alliances continue as they currently exist. Much of the difference between FDC’s proportionate share of the investees’ net income and FDC’s equity earnings noted above relates to this amortization.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'									'
Consolidation	'									'
										Consolidation
										The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of FDC include the accounts of FDC and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies are accounted for under the equity method and are included in “Investment in affiliates” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company generally utilizes the equity method of accounting when it has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity, provided the Company is able to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operations.
										The Company consolidates an entity’s financial statements when the Company either will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses or residual returns, in the case of a variable interest entity, or has the ability to exert control over a subsidiary. Control is normally established when ownership interests exceed 50% in an entity; however, when the Company does not exercise control over a majority-owned entity as a result of other investors having rights over the management and operations of the entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no greater-than-50%-owned affiliates whose financial statements were not consolidated.

										In 2011, the Company recorded a net $58.5 million pretax ($35.2 million after tax) benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to correct cumulative depreciation and amortization errors related to purchase accounting associated with the Company’s 2007 merger with an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. The corrections impacted “Costs of services” ($10.2 million expense), “Depreciation and amortization” ($57.7 million benefit) and amortization of equity method investments within “Equity earnings in affiliates” ($11.0 million benefit). The errors and the cumulative correction, which totaled $58.5 million in aggregate and occurred over a four year period, were deemed immaterial to prior years and the current year, respectively.
Revenue Recognition	'									'
	Revenue Recognition									Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenues from its processing services as such services are performed. Revenue is recorded net of certain costs such as credit and offline debit interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations. Debit network fees related to acquired personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) transactions are recognized in the “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenue and expense lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents the amounts associated with processing services revenue:									The majority of the Company’s revenues are comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, or a fee per transaction processed, or account on file or some combination thereof. In limited circumstances, revenue is allocated to the separate units of accounting in a multiple element transaction based on relative selling prices, provided each element has stand alone value to the customer, and delivery of any undelivered items is probable and substantially within the Company’s control.
		Three months ended				Nine months ended				In the case of merchant contracts that the Company owns and manages, revenue is primarily comprised of fees charged to the merchant, net of interchange and assessments charged by the credit card associations, and is recognized at the time of sale. The fees charged to the merchant are a percentage of the credit card and signature based debit card transaction’s dollar value, a fixed amount or a combination of the two. Personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) network fees are recognized in “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenues and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. STAR network access fees charged to merchants are assessed on a per transaction basis.

										Debit network fees	2,786.30		2,959.10			2,798.30
										The Company charges processing fees to its merchant alliances. In situations where an alliance is accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s consolidated revenues include the processing fees charged to the alliance, as presented on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
										Revenue from check verification, settlement and guarantee services is recognized at the time of sale less the fair value of the guarantee. The fair value of the guarantee is deferred until the later of the Company being called upon to honor the guarantee or the expiration of the guarantee. Check verification fees generally are a fixed amount per transaction while check guarantee fees generally are a percentage of the check amount.
										The purchase and sale of merchant contracts is an ordinary element of the Company’s Retail and Alliance Services and International businesses, and therefore, the gains from selling these revenue-generating assets are included within the “Product sales and other” component of revenues.
										Fees based on cardholder accounts on file, both active and inactive, are recognized after the requisite services or period has occurred. Fees for PIN-debit transactions where the Company is the debit card processor for the financial institution are recognized on a per transaction basis. Revenues for output services are derived primarily on a per piece basis and consist of fees for the production, materials and postage related to mailing finished products.
										Software licensing revenue, which is reported in the “Product sales and other” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is not recognized until each of the following four criteria are met: evidence of an agreement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price is reasonably assured.
										The sale and leasing of point-of-sale (“POS”) devices (“terminals”) are also reported in “Product sales and other”. Revenue for terminals sold or sold under a sales-type lease transaction is recognized when the following four criteria are met: evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price or minimum lease payments are fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price or minimum lease payments is reasonably assured. Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
										The official check and money order services and merchant acquiring business generate revenue through the ability to invest funds pending settlement. Gains and losses associated with the above noted investments are recognized in revenue.
										Services not specifically described above are generally transaction based fees that are recognized at the time the transactions are processed or programming services that are recorded as work is performed.
Stock-Based Compensation	'									'
										Stock-Based Compensation
										Stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date fair values of the respective stock options and restricted stock awards and expensed over the requisite service periods. An estimate of forfeitures is applied when calculating compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation cost on awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. During 2010, the Company modified the terms of its plan and, due to the nature of call rights and vesting conditions associated with the options and awards, the Company will recognize expense associated with the modifications and grants subsequent to the modifications only upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events. Refer to Note 13 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.
Foreign Currency Translation	'									'
										Foreign Currency Translation
										The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for most of the Company’s U.S. based businesses and certain foreign based businesses. Significant operations with a local currency as their functional currency include operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Ireland, Greece and Argentina. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities for these units and other less significant operations are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during each monthly period. The effects of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of assets and liabilities of those entities where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are included as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Intercompany loans are generally not considered invested on a long-term basis and such foreign currency gains and losses are recorded in income. Transaction gains and losses related to operating assets and liabilities are included in the “Cost of services” and “Selling, general and administrative” lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were immaterial. Non-operating transaction gains and losses derived from non-operating assets and liabilities are included in the “Other income (expense)” line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are separately disclosed in Note 9 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments	'									'
										Derivative Financial Instruments
										The Company utilizes derivative instruments to enhance its ability to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value. Such amounts are recorded in either the “Other current assets”, “Other long-term assets”, “Other current liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities” captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s policy is to present all derivative balances on a gross basis, without regard to counterparty master netting agreements or similar arrangements.  Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedge of future cash flows or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivatives that qualify as hedges of future cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value is recorded temporarily in equity as a component of OCI and then recognized in earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. For derivatives that qualify as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss is reported in OCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent the hedge is effective. Any ineffective portions of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges are recognized in the “Other income (expense)” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period of change. Additional discussion of derivative instruments is provided in Note 6 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Noncontrolling and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests	'									'
										Noncontrolling and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
										Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ share of the net income or loss and equity in consolidated subsidiaries. Substantially all of the Company’s noncontrolling interests are presented pretax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” since the majority of the Company’s non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries are flow through entities for tax purposes. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflect the original investments by these noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated subsidiaries, along with their proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the subsidiaries, net of dividends or distributions. Noncontrolling interests that are redeemable at the option of the holder are presented outside of equity and are carried at their estimated redemption value. A noncontrolling interest is recorded on the date of acquisition based on the total fair value of the acquired entity and the noncontrolling interest’s share of that value.
Reserve for Merchant Credit Losses and Check Guarantees	'									'
										Reserve for Merchant Credit Losses and Check Guarantees
										With respect to the merchant acquiring business, the Company’s merchant customers (or those of its unconsolidated alliances) have the liability for any charges properly reversed by the cardholder. In the event, however, that the Company is not able to collect such amounts from the merchants due to merchant fraud, insolvency, bankruptcy or another reason, the Company may be liable for any such reversed charges. The Company’s risk in this area primarily relates to situations where the cardholder has purchased goods or services to be delivered in the future such as airline tickets.
										The Company’s obligation to stand ready to perform is minimal in relation to the total dollar volume processed. The Company requires cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants to minimize this obligation. Collateral held by the Company is classified within “Settlement assets” and the obligation to repay the collateral if it is not needed is classified within “Settlement obligations” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also utilizes a number of systems and procedures to manage merchant risk. Despite these efforts, the Company historically has experienced some level of losses due to merchant defaults.
										The Company’s contingent obligation relates to imprecision in its estimates of required collateral. A provision for this obligation is recorded based primarily on historical experience of credit losses and other relevant factors such as economic downturns or increases in merchant fraud. Merchant credit losses are included in “Cost of services” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the reserves attributable to entities consolidated by the Company was $23.4 million and $31.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
										The majority of the TeleCheck Services, Inc. (“TeleCheck”) business involves the guarantee of checks received by merchants. If the check is returned, TeleCheck is required to purchase the check from the merchant at its face value and pursue collection from the check writer. A provision for estimated check returns, net of anticipated recoveries, is recorded at the transaction inception based on recent history. The following table presents the accrued warranty and recovery balances:
											As of December 31,
										(in millions)	2012		2011
										Accrued warranty balances	$	10.9	$	11.4
										Accrued recovery balances	$	24.8	$	26.8
										Accrued warranties are included in “Other current liabilities” and accrued recoveries are included in “Accounts receivable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum potential future payments under the guarantees were estimated by the Company to be approximately $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2012 which represented an estimate of the total uncleared checks at that time.
Income Taxes	'									'
										Income Taxes
										The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return with their parent, First Data Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). The Company’s foreign operations file income tax returns in their local jurisdictions. Income taxes are computed in accordance with current accounting guidance and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, then these deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made.
										The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured as the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'									'
										Cash and Cash Equivalents
										Investments (other than those included in settlement assets) with original maturities of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates market value. Cash and cash equivalents that were restricted from use due to regulatory requirements are included in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and were immaterial as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Accounts Receivable and Leasing Receivables	'									'
										Accounts Receivable and Leasing Receivables
										Accounts receivable balances are stated net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant write-offs. The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the accounts receivable balance will not be collected. Long-term accounts receivable balances are included in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
										The Company has receivables associated with its point-of-sale (“POS”) terminal leasing businesses. Leasing receivables are included in “Accounts receivable” and “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes interest income on its leasing receivables using the effective interest method. Interest income from leasing receivables is included in “Product Sales and Other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For direct financing leases, the interest rate used incorporates initial direct costs included in the net investment in the lease. For sales type leases, initial direct costs are expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment	'									'
										Property and Equipment
										Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the related assets (generally three to 10 years for equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, and 30 years for buildings) or the lease term. Maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. The following table presents the amounts charged to expense for the depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, including equipment under capital lease:
										Year ended December 31,	Amount
										(in millions)
										2012	$	284.5
										2011	292.1
										2010	320.4
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	'									'
										Goodwill and Other Intangibles
										Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. Goodwill is generally allocated to reporting units based upon relative fair value (taking into consideration other factors such as synergies) when an acquired business is integrated into multiple reporting units. The Company’s reporting units are at the operating segment level or businesses one level below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management. When a business within a reporting unit is disposed of, goodwill is allocated to the disposed business using the relative fair value method. Relative fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
										The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment, as well as upon an indicator of impairment, using a fair value approach at the reporting unit level. The Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2012, 2011 and 2010.  As of October 1, 2012, the most recent impairment analysis date, the fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value.  The Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges in 2011 or 2010.   Discussion of impairments that were recorded in 2012 is included in Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
										Customer relationships represent the estimated value of the Company’s relationships with customers, primarily merchants and financial institutions, to which it provides services. Customer relationships are amortized based on the pattern of undiscounted cash flows for the period as a percentage of total projected undiscounted cash flows. The Company selected this amortization method for these customer relationships based on a conclusion that the projected undiscounted cash flows could be reliably determined.
										The Company capitalizes initial payments for new contracts, contract renewals and conversion costs associated with customer processing relationships to the extent recoverable through future operations, contractual minimums and/or penalties in the case of early termination. The Company’s accounting policy is to limit the amount of capitalized costs for a given contract to the lesser of the estimated ongoing future cash flows from the contract or the termination fees the Company would receive in the event of early termination of the contract by the customer. The initial payments for new contracts and contract renewals are amortized over the term of the contract as a reduction of the associated revenue (transaction and processing service fees). Conversion costs are also amortized over the term of the contract but are recorded as an expense in “Depreciation and amortization” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
										The Company develops software that is used in providing processing services to customers. To a lesser extent, the Company also develops software to be sold or licensed to customers. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of the software has been established. Costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to determine that a product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements. Capitalization of costs ceases when the product is available for general use. Software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally five years. Software acquired in connection with business combinations is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software which generally ranges from three to 10 years.
										In addition to capitalized contract and software development costs, other intangibles include copyrights, patents, purchased software, trademarks and non-compete agreements acquired in business combinations. Other intangibles, except for the First Data trade name discussed below, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the length of the contract or benefit period, which generally ranges from three to 25 years. The intangible amortization expense associated with customer relationships and other intangibles, including amortization associated with investments in affiliates, was as follows:
										Year ended December 31,	Amount
										(in millions)
										2012	$	1,046.40
										2011	1,052.10
										2010	1,205.60
										The value of the First Data trade name is $603.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Upon consideration of many factors, including the determination that there are no legal, regulatory or contractual provisions that limit the useful life of the First Data trade name, the Company determined that the First Data trade name had an indefinite useful life. The Company also considered the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, other economic factors and ability to maintain and protect the trade name without significant expenditures. The First Data trade name is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company for an indefinite period. As an indefinite lived asset, the First Data trade name is not amortized but is reviewed annually for impairment until such time as it is determined to have a finite life. The First Data trade name was not impaired as of December 31, 2012 or 2011.

										The estimated future aggregate amortization expense for the next five years is as follows:
										Year ended December 31,	Amount
										(in millions)
										2013	$	833.7
										2014	748
										2015	662.7
										2016	507.5
										2017	427.9
										The Company tests contract and conversion costs greater than $1 million for recoverability on an annual basis by comparing the remaining expected undiscounted cash flows under the contract to the net book value. Any assets that are determined to be unrecoverable are written down to their fair value. In addition to this annual test, these assets and all other long lived assets are tested for impairment upon an indicator of potential impairment.  The Company recorded impairment charges relating to other intangibles in 2012 and 2010 as described in Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inventory	'									'
										Inventory
										Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and consist primarily of POS terminals, forms and envelopes. The cost of inventory is determined using average cost for POS terminals and first-in first-out (“FIFO”) for forms.
Investment Securities	'									'
										Investment Securities
										The Company maintains investments in marketable and non-marketable securities, the majority of which are carried at fair value.  These are included in the “Settlement assets”, “Other current assets”, “Long-term settlement assets” and “Other long-term assets” line items of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
										The specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis of securities sold. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of the debt and equity securities were classified as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are included as a separate component of OCI, net of any related tax effect. The Company assesses marketable securities for impairment quarterly. Cost method investments are evaluated for impairment upon an indicator of impairment such as an event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.  If no such events or changes in circumstances have occurred, the fair value is estimated only if practicable to do so.
										For equity securities, declines in value that are judged to be other than temporary in nature are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For public company equity securities, the Company’s policy is to treat a decline in the investment’s quoted market value that has lasted for more than six months as an other than temporary decline in value.
										For debt securities, when the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) has occurred. The impairment is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. When the Company does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company assesses whether it will recover its amortized cost basis. If the entire amortized cost will not be recovered, a credit loss exists resulting in the credit loss portion of the OTTI being recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors recognized in OCI. Refer to Note 7 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s investments.
New Accounting Guidance	'									'
	New Accounting Guidance									New Accounting Guidance
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that resolves diversity in practice as to when to release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary within a foreign entity or sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity.  The guidance also resolves diversity in the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment in a business combination achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013.  Adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.									In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. Under the amended guidance, an entity has the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount, then quantitative impairment testing is unnecessary. The Company adopted the amendments for its 2012 annual impairment test. After performing a qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded to a quantitative impairment test.

	Note 1: Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of First Data Corporation (“FDC” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed.
	The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013 and the consolidated results of its operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated cash flows and changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year due in part to the seasonality of certain business units.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Presentation
	Depreciation and amortization presented as a separate line item on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations does not include amortization of initial payments for new contracts which is recorded as a contra-revenue within “Transaction and processing service fees.” Also not included is amortization related to equity method investments which is netted within the “Equity earnings in affiliates” line. The following table presents the amounts associated with such amortization:
		Three months ended				Nine months ended

	Amortization related to equity method investments	$	19.7	$	21.4	$	59.2	$	73.3
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenues from its processing services as such services are performed. Revenue is recorded net of certain costs such as credit and offline debit interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations. Debit network fees related to acquired personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) transactions are recognized in the “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenue and expense lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	New Accounting Guidance
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that resolves diversity in practice as to when to release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary within a foreign entity or sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity.  The guidance also resolves diversity in the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment in a business combination achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013.  Adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

													Significant non-cash transactions. During 2011 and 2010, the principal amount of FDC’s senior notes due 2015 increased by $73.1 million and $362.5 million, respectively, resulting from the “payment” of accrued interest expense. The decrease in the amount of interest expense accrued during 2011 is due to the December 2010 exchange of notes discussed below.  The terms of FDC’s senior unsecured notes due 2015 require interest to be paid in cash for all periods after October 1, 2011.
													In December 2011, the Company exchanged substantially all of its aggregate principal amounts of $3.0 billion of its 12.625% senior notes due 2021 for publicly tradable notes having substantially identical terms and guarantees, except that the exchange notes will be freely tradable.
													In December 2010, the Company exchanged $3.0 billion of its 9.875% senior notes due 2015 and $3.0 billion of its 10.550% senior PIK notes due 2015 for $2.0 billion of 8.25% senior second lien notes due 2021, $1.0 billion of 8.75%/10.00% PIK toggle senior second lien notes due 2022 and $3.0 billion of 12.625% senior notes due 2021.

All of the previously outstanding 2018 term loans were exchanged for loans under the new facility which have the same terms except the new loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at FDC’s option, LIBOR Rate plus 400 basis points or a base rate plus 300 basis points.  FDC paid closing fees in connection with the transaction.

FDC has agreed to use its reasonably best efforts to register notes with the SEC having substantially identical terms as the 11.25% senior unsecured notes, as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the 11.25% senior unsecured notes within 360 days after the issue date. If FDC fails to complete the exchange or, if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective within that time period (‘‘registration default’’), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per year. FDC may subsequently cure the registration default and the applicable interest rate on the unsecured notes will revert to the original rate. If FDC must pay additional interest, it will be paid in cash on the same dates that other interest payments on the notes are made, until the registration default is corrected.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

11.75% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes Due 2021

As of December 31, 2012, FDC held interest rate swaps to mitigate exposure to variability in interest payments on the outstanding variable rate senior secured term loan. Refer to Note 6 of these Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the Company’s derivatives.

In August 2013, FDC paid off its 4.70% notes due 2013 for $15.1 million.

The original terms of FDC’s senior secured term loan facility required the Company to pay equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount. However, in conjunction with debt modifications and amendments over the last several years, proceeds from the issuance of the notes were used to prepay portions of the principal balances of FDC’s senior secured term loans which satisfied the future quarterly principal payments until September 2018. Therefore, the Company made no principal payments during 2011 or 2012. During 2010, the Company paid $96.2 million of principal payments on the senior secured term loan facility in accordance with the original provisions, of which $89.2 million related to the U.S. dollar-denominated loan and $7.0 million related to the euro-denominated loan.

Debt transactions effected subsequent to September 30, 2013

The senior secured term loan facility also requires mandatory prepayments based on a percentage of excess cash flow generated by FDC. All obligations under the senior secured loan facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries of FDC, subject to certain exceptions.

Debt Offering.  On October 30, 2013, FDC entered into an agreement to offer $1,000 million additional aggregate principal amount of 11.75% senior subordinated notes due 2021. FDC intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 11.25% senior subordinated notes due 2016 and to pay related fees and expenses.

2012 Modifications and Amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On March 13, 2012, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things:

The notes will be issued under the indenture governing the 11.75% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes due 2021 that were issued on May 30, 2013 described above. The notes are expected to be treated as a single series with the existing 11.75% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes and will have the same terms as the existing notes and will vote as one class under the indenture governing the notes.

(i) convert approximately $3.2 billion of the existing term loans maturing in 2014 (the “2014 Term Loans”) under FDC’s senior secured term credit facilities into a new dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a new euro-denominated term loan tranche, which will each mature on March 24, 2017 (collectively, the “2017 Term Loans”);

Related Financing Costs. In connection with this debt offering, FDC will incur approximately $11 million in lender and underwriting fees and other expenses.

(ii) permit FDC to provide a loan extension request upon such shorter notice period as may be agreed by the administrative agent;

(iii) permit the deduction of fees and expenses related to any loan extensions from the net cash proceeds of any substantially concurrent debt offering related thereto that are being used to repay term loans under its senior secured credit facilities;

(iv) increase the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) by the amount of outstanding 2014 Term Loans, provided such increased amount may only be used for the incurrence of indebtedness the net cash proceeds of which are substantially concurrently used to prepay 2014 Term Loans;

(v) increase the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount by the amount of any permanent reduction and/or termination of the revolving credit commitments after the effectiveness date of the Amendment Agreement;

(vi) permit voluntary prepayments of term loans to be directed to a class of Extended Term Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) without requiring a prepayment of existing term loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted; and

(vii) provide for an increase in the interest applicable to the 2017 Term Loans to a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (i) LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency plus 500 basis points or (ii) with regard to dollar-denominated borrowings, a base rate plus 400 basis points.

The amendment became effective on March 23, 2012 when FDC issued $845 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7.375% senior secured notes due June 15, 2019 (refer to the “7.375% Senior Secured First Lien Notes” section below) and, using the net proceeds therefrom, effected a prepayment of the outstanding 2017 Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement of approximately $807 million.

In connection with the debt modification and amendments and the debt offering discussed above, FDC incurred costs of $31.5 million, $27.0 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the loans.

On August 16, 2012, FDC amended its credit agreement to, among other things:

(i)   convert approximately $295 million of the existing term loans maturing in 2014 under FDC’s senior secured term credit facilities into a new dollar-denominated term loan tranche and a new euro-denominated term loan tranche, each of which will mature on March 24, 2017; and

(ii)  provide for an increase in the interest applicable to these 2017 Term Loans to a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency plus 500 basis points or (b) with regard to dollar-denominated borrowings, a base rate plus 400 basis points.

In addition on August 16, 2012, the Company issued $1,300 million of 6.75% senior secured notes due November 1, 2020 described below. In accordance with the terms of FDC’s Amended Credit Agreement, FDC used the net proceeds from the issue and sale of approximately $1,266 million to repay a portion of its outstanding senior secured term loans.

FDC incurred costs of $23.2 million related to the August 2012 amendment and debt offering, $17.8 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense or over the remaining terms of the loans.

Additionally, on September 27, 2012, FDC entered into an Incremental Joinder Agreement relating to its credit agreement, pursuant to which FDC incurred $750 million in new term loans maturing on September 24, 2018 (“September 2018 Term Loans”).  The term loans were issued at 98.250% of the par amount for a discount totaling $13.1 million. The interest rate applicable to the September 2018 Term Loans is a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in U.S. dollars plus 500 basis points or (b) a base rate plus 400 basis points.

Also on September 27, 2012, FDC issued and sold $850 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes due November 1, 2020 described below.

In connection with the September 2012 Joinder Agreement and debt offering, FDC used the net cash proceeds to repay approximately $1,573 million of its outstanding dollar-denominated term loan borrowings maturing in 2014 and to pay related fees and expenses. FDC incurred costs of $21.0 million, $16.3 million of which was recorded as discounts on the debt and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the loans.

The additional notes are treated as a single series with and have the same terms as the previously existing 7.375% notes.

Thereafter, FDC may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at established redemption prices. In addition, on or prior to June 15, 2014, FDC may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at established redemption prices.

FDC may redeem the second lien notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to January 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole premium.” Thereafter, FDC may redeem the second lien notes, in whole or in part, at established redemption prices. In addition, on or prior to January 15, 2014, FDC may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at established redemption prices.

12.625% Senior Unsecured Notes

Interest on the 12.625% senior notes is payable in cash, accrues at the rate of 12.625% per annum, and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The 12.625% senior notes mature on January 15, 2021.

Effective December 2011, FDC exchanged substantially all of its 12.625% senior notes due 2021 for publicly tradable notes having substantially identical terms and guarantees, except that the exchange notes are freely tradable.  FDC may redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to January 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole premium.” Thereafter, FDC may redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at established redemption prices. In addition, on or prior to January 15, 2014, FDC may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at established redemption prices.

9.875% Senior Unsecured Notes and 10.55% Senior Unsecured Notes

FDC’s 9.875% senior notes due September 24, 2015 are publicly tradable and require the payment of interest semi-annually on March 31 and September 30.

FDC’s 10.55% senior notes due September 24, 2015 are publicly tradable and require the payment of interest semi-annually on March 31 and September 30. The terms require that interest on these notes up to and including September 30, 2011 be paid entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding notes or by issuing senior PIK notes. Beginning October 1, 2011, interest was payable in cash and the first such payment was in April 2012. During 2011, FDC increased the principal amount of these notes by $73.1 million in accordance with this provision.

11.25% Senior Unsecured Subordinated Notes

FDC’s publicly tradable 11.25% senior subordinated notes due March 31, 2016 require the payment of interest semi-annually on March 31 and September 30.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs were capitalized in conjunction with certain of FDC’s debt issuances and totaled $218.2 million and $269.8 million, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deferred financing costs are reported in the “Other long-term assets” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining term of the respective debt, with a weighted-average period of 6 years. In addition, lender fees associated with debt modifications and amendments were capitalized as discounts on the debt and are similarly being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the respective debt.

Guarantees and Covenants

All obligations under the senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan facility are unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material domestic subsidiaries of FDC other than Integrated Payment Systems Inc. The senior secured facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict FDC’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell or transfer assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase FDC’s or its parent company’s capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; prepay certain indebtedness; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing certain indebtedness and change its lines of business. The senior secured facilities also require FDC to not exceed a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control. FDC is in compliance with all applicable covenants.

All senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of FDC’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantees FDC’s senior secured credit facilities. Each of the guarantees of the notes is a general senior obligation of each guarantor and rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantor subsidiary, including FDC’s existing senior subordinated notes. The notes rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantor subsidiary but are effectively senior to the guarantees of FDC’s existing senior unsecured notes and FDC’s existing senior secured second lien notes to the extent of the guarantor subsidiary’s value of the collateral securing the notes. The 7.375% Senior Secured First Lien Notes, 8.875% Senior Secured First Lien Notes, and 6.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes are effectively equal in right of payment with each other and the guarantees of FDC’s senior secured credit facilities. Each series of notes are effectively subordinated to any obligations secured by liens permitted under the indenture for the particular series of notes and structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any subsidiary of a guarantor that is not also a guarantor of the notes.

All senior unsecured notes (i) rank senior in right of payment to all of FDC’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness, (ii) rank equally in right of payment to all of the existing and future senior indebtedness, (iii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iv) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior notes.

The senior subordinated notes are unsecured and (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior subordinated debt, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to all future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated notes, (iii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iv) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior subordinated notes.

All obligations under the senior secured notes, senior secured second lien notes, PIK toggle senior second lien notes, senior unsecured notes, and senior unsecured subordinated notes also contain a number of covenants similar to those described for the senior secured obligations noted above. FDC is in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Debt transactions effected subsequent to December 31, 2012

Debt Offering and Debt Repurchase.  On January 30, 2013, FDC commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 10.55% senior unsecured notes.  The tender offer expired on February 27, 2013.  Noteholders that validly tendered their notes on or before February 12, 2013 received an early tender premium.  The completion of the tender offer was subject to the debt offering described below and certain other conditions.  In addition, on March 1, 2013, FDC redeemed the outstanding 10.55% senior unsecured notes that were not repurchased upon completion of the tender offer.

On February 13, 2013, the Company issued $785 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2021.  Interest on the notes will be payable in cash semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2013. FDC used the proceeds from the offering to repurchase all of its outstanding 10.55% senior unsecured notes as described above and to pay related fees and expenses.

The notes are unsecured and (i) rank senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the existing senior subordinated notes; (ii) rank equally in right of payment to any existing and future senior indebtedness; (iii) be effectively junior to all existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities, existing senior secured notes, existing senior secured second lien notes and capital leases to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and (iv) be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to the Company or one of its subsidiary guarantors).

The notes are similarly guaranteed in accordance with their terms by each of FDC’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under FDC’s senior secured term loan facility described above.  The notes also contain a number of covenants similar to those described for the senior secured obligations noted above.

FDC may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to January 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole premium.”  Thereafter, FDC may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at established redemption prices.  In addition, until January 15, 2016, FDC may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at 111.25% with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings.

FDC has agreed to use its reasonably best efforts to register notes with the SEC having substantially identical terms as the 11.25% senior unsecured notes, as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the 11.25% senior unsecured notes within 360 days after the issue date. If FDC fails to complete the exchange or, if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective within that time period (‘‘registration default’’), the annual interest rate on the notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per year. FDC may subsequently cure the registration default and the applicable interest rate on the unsecured notes will revert to the original rate. If FDC must pay additional interest, it will be paid in cash on the same dates that other interest payments on the notes are made, until the registration default is corrected.

Joinder Agreement to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On February 13, 2013, FDC entered into a February 2013 Joinder Agreement relating to its credit agreement, pursuant to which FDC incurred $258 million in new term loans maturing on September 24, 2018.  The interest rate applicable to the new September 2018 Term Loans is a rate equal to, at FDC’s option, either (a) LIBOR for deposits in U.S. dollars plus 500 basis points or (b) a base rate plus 400 basis points.  FDC used the net cash proceeds from the new term loans to repay all of its outstanding term loan borrowings maturing in 2014 and to pay related fees and expenses.

Related Financing Costs. In connection with the debt offering and amendment to the senior secured credit facilities discussed above, the Company incurred lender fees and other expenses of approximately $14 million, excluding premiums paid of approximately $21 million related to the tender offer and debt repurchase.

Other

In November 2011, FDC paid off its 5.625% notes due 2011 for $32.6 million.

In June 2010, FDC paid off its 4.50% notes due 2010 for $13.1 million.

	The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. Accruals have been made with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company. The matters discussed below, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, may result in liability material to the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations.	Operating Leases
	Legal	The Company leases certain of its facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements, substantially all of which contain renewal options and escalation provisions. The following table presents the amounts associated with total rent expense for operating leases:
	On July 2, 2004, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, its subsidiary Concord EFS, Inc., and various financial institutions. Plaintiffs claim that the defendants violated antitrust laws by conspiring to artificially inflate foreign ATM fees that were ultimately charged to ATM cardholders. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, costs and such other relief as the nature of the case may require or as may seem just and proper to the court. Similar suits were filed and served in July, August and October 2004 (referred to collectively as the “ATM Fee Antitrust Litigation”). The Court granted judgment in favor of the defendants, dismissing the case on September 17, 2010. On October 14, 2010, the plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment. On July 12, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Northern District Court of California’s dismissal of all the claims against the defendants.   On July 26, 2012, the plaintiffs petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing en banc and on March 13, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order denying the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing. On July 11, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court and on October 7, 2013, the United States Supreme Court denied such writ of certiorari.	Year ended December 31,	Amount
		(in millions)
	There are asserted claims against the Company where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be reasonably possible. These claims can generally be categorized in the following areas: (1) patent infringement which results from claims that the Company is using technology that has been patented by another party; (2) merchant matters often associated with alleged processing errors or disclosure issues and claims that one of the subsidiaries of the Company has violated a federal or state requirement regarding credit reporting or collection in connection with its check verification guarantee, and collection activities; and (3) other matters which may include issues such as employment. The Company’s estimates of the possible ranges of losses in excess of any amounts accrued are $0 to $40 million for patent infringement, $0 to $45 million for merchant matters and $0 to $5 million for other matters, resulting in a total estimated range of possible losses of $0 to $90 million for all of the matters described above.	2012	$	72.4
		2011	81.3
	The estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. As additional information becomes available and the resolution of the uncertainties becomes more apparent, it is possible that actual losses may exceed even the high end of the estimated range.	2010	83.7

		Future minimum aggregate rental commitments as of December 31, 2012 under all noncancelable operating leases, net of sublease income, were $293.3 million and are due in the following years:
	In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including indemnification obligations to purchasers of former subsidiaries. Management of the Company believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

		Thereafter	89.9
		Sublease income is earned from leased space which FDC concurrently subleases to third parties with comparable time periods. As of December 31, 2012, there were no sublease amounts in FDC obligations. In addition, the Company has certain guarantees imbedded in leases and other agreements wherein the Company is required to relieve the counterparty in the event of changes in the tax code or rates. The Company believes the fair value of such guarantees is insignificant due to the likelihood and extent of the potential changes.
		Letters of Credit
		The Company has $45.1 million in outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2012, all of which were issued under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility and expire prior to December 10, 2013 with a one-year renewal option. The letters of credit are held in connection with lease arrangements, bankcard association agreements and other security agreements. The Company expects to renew most of the letters of credit prior to expiration.
		Contingencies
		The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. Accruals have been made with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters, and may enter into settlement agreements, if it believes settlement is in the best interest of the Company.

The Company continues to believe the complaints are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them.
		There are asserted claims against the Company where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be reasonably possible. These claims can generally be categorized in the following areas: (1) patent infringement which results from claims that the Company is using technology that has been patented by another party; (2) Merchant customer matters often associated with alleged processing errors or disclosure issues and claims that one of the subsidiaries of the Company has violated a federal or state requirement regarding credit reporting or collection in connection with its check verification guarantee, and collection activities; and (3) other matters which may include issues such as employment. The Company’s estimates of the possible ranges of losses in excess of any amounts accrued are $0 to $6 million for patent infringement, $0 to $75 million for merchant customer matters and $0 to $4 million for other matters, resulting in a total estimated range of possible losses of $0 to $85 million for all of the matters described above.
		The estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. As additional information becomes available and the resolution of the uncertainties becomes more apparent, it is possible that actual losses may exceed even the high end of the estimated range.

		In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including indemnification obligations to purchasers of former subsidiaries. Management of the Company believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
		As discussed in Note 3 of these Consolidated Financial Statements, during the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to the acquisition of Clover Network, Inc. The transaction called for cash consideration as well as a series of contingent payments based on the achievement of specified sales targets. These contingent payments are classified as purchase consideration if made to outside investors and compensation if made to current and future employees. As part of the purchase price, the Company recorded a $20 million liability for the contingent consideration due to outside investors based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of the future payments.
		Also during the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to a small divestiture. The transaction called for a series of contingent payments based on revenue over three years. As part of the sale price, the Company recorded a $14 million asset for the contingent consideration due based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of future receipts from the buyer.

		Three months ended						Nine months ended						FDC maintains defined contribution savings plans covering virtually all of the Company’s U.S. employees and defined contribution pension plans for international employees primarily in the United Kingdom and Australia.

	The Company estimates pension plan contributions for 2013 to be approximately $36 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $22 million was contributed to the United Kingdom plan and approximately $7 million was contributed to the U.S. plan.
														Defined Benefit Plans
														The Company has a defined benefit pension plan which is frozen and covers certain full-time employees in the U.S. The Company also has separate plans covering certain employees located primarily in the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece and Austria.
														In December 2011, the Company received judicial confirmation that a change in U.K. law restricted the Company’s ability to eliminate the effects of future compensation increases on the plan’s benefits associated with a curtailment recorded in 2009.  As a result, benefits related to future compensation increases were reinstated but the plan remained frozen to benefit accruals related to length of service and all other factors.  The Company recorded a loss of approximately $7 million, net of income taxes, in other comprehensive income in 2011.  In December 2012, the Company initiated actions to freeze the plan benefits related to future salary increases subject to participant approval.  The Company expects to record a curtailment gain in other comprehensive income in 2013.
														The Company uses December 31 as the measurement date for its plans.

													(a)                  The rate of compensation increases generally apply to active plans.
													Assumptions for the U.S. plans and the foreign plans are comparable in all of the above periods. The Company employs a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets with proper consideration of diversification and re-balancing. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equities and fixed-income securities are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed to check for reasonableness and appropriateness. All assumptions are the responsibility of management.
													Plan assets. The Company’s pension plan target asset allocation, based on the investment policy as of December 31, 2012, is as follows:
														Target		Target
														allocation		allocation
													Asset Category	U.S. plans		Foreign plans
													Equity securities	40	%	60	%
													Debt securities	60	%	40	%
													The Company employs a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities and plan funded status. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and global equity investments. In addition, private equity securities comprise a very small part of the equity allocation. The fixed income allocation is a combination of fixed income investment strategies designed to contribute to the total rate of return of all plan assets while minimizing risk and supporting the duration of plan liabilities.
													Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements, and periodic asset and liability studies. The general philosophy of the Benefit Committee in setting the allocation percentages for the domestic plan shown above is to adhere to the appropriate allocation mix necessary to support the underlying plan liabilities as influenced significantly by the demographics of the participants and the frozen nature of the plan.
													The goal of the Board of Trustees of the United Kingdom plan is the acquisition of secure assets of appropriate liquidity which are expected to generate income and capital growth to meet, together with new contributions from the Company, the cost of current and future benefits, as set out in the Trust Deed and Rules. The Trustees, together with the plan’s consultants and actuaries, further design the asset allocation shown above to limit the risk of the assets failing to meet the liabilities over the long term. Currently the equity allocation is diversified amongst both United Kingdom and non-United Kingdom equities from North America, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific. A small portion is allocated to other global emerging market equity securities. Fixed income is allocated primarily to United Kingdom government bond securities with the remaining portion in investment-grade corporate bonds.

													Registered investment companies. The Company’s domestic plan has investments in shares of mutual funds, primarily large cap, international and global equity funds, that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prices of these funds are based on Net Asset Values (“NAV”) calculated by the funds and are publicly reported on national exchanges. The plan measures fair value of these investments using the NAV provided by the fund managers.
													Fixed income securities. The Company’s domestic plan has investments in several fixed income securities, primarily corporate bonds. The bonds were valued under a market approach using observable inputs including reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other standard inputs.
													Private investment funds—redeemable. The Company’s domestic and United Kingdom plans are invested in shares or units of several private investment funds, not the underlying assets. Redeemable private investment funds include collective trusts, comingled funds, pooled funds, limited partnerships and limited liability corporations. The funds calculate NAV on a periodic basis and are available only from the fund managers. Private investment funds are redeemable at the NAV.
													Private investment funds—non-redeemable. The Company’s domestic plan has investments in several partnerships (limited partnership and limited liability corporations) for which the plan has a limited ability to redeem or transfer its interests; therefore, there is an illiquid market in which the plan can exit these investments. As a result, the plan measures fair value of these investments using estimates of fair value which come from partner capital statements provided by the partnerships.
													Insurance annuity contracts. The Company’s United Kingdom Plan is invested in several insurance annuity contracts. The value of these contracts is calculated by estimating future payments and discounting them to present value. As a result, there is no market for the Plan to exit these investments.
													Contributions. Contributions to the plans in 2013 are expected to be approximately $42 million.
													The estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be as follows:
													Year ended December 31,	Amount

	Note 9: Stock Compensation Plans
											Note 13: Stock Compensation Plans
	The Company defers recognition of substantially all of the stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards and units. Due to the nature of call rights associated with stock options, the Company will recognize expense related to most options only upon certain liquidity or employment termination events. The nature of the call rights associated with stock options creates a performance condition that is not considered probable until the occurrence of one of the events described above. The call rights create a performance condition as they allow the Company to repurchase options at the lesser of the fair value or the exercise price upon an option holder’s voluntary termination.
											The Company's parent, Holdings, has a stock incentive plan for certain management employees of FDC and its affiliates ("stock plan"). The stock plan provides the opportunity for certain management employees to purchase shares in Holdings and then receive a number of options or restricted stock based on a multiple of their investment in such shares. The plan also allows for the Company to award shares and options to management employees. The participants of the stock plan enter into a management stockholders' agreement. Principal terms of the management stockholders' agreement include restrictions on transfers, lock ups, right of first refusal, registration rights, and a confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete covenant. The expense associated with this plan is recorded by FDC. The number of shares authorized under the stock plan is 119.5 million, 83 million of which are authorized for options.
	Stock-based compensation expense will be recognized related to certain restricted stock awards and units only upon a liquidity or employment termination event which triggers vesting. For the remaining awards that vest based solely on service conditions, expense is recognized over the requisite service period.
											The participants of the stock plan have the right to require Holdings to repurchase the shares and options upon the employee's termination due to death or disability. The put rights expire one year after the termination event or upon a change in control. The repurchase price for the shares is their fair market value at the time of repurchase. The repurchase price for the options is their intrinsic value at the time of repurchase.
	Under certain circumstances, the Company redeems common stock held by its employees on behalf of its Parent Company First Data Holding Inc. (“Holdings”).
											Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the "Selling, general and administrative" line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations resulting from stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards and non-vested restricted stock units was as follows:
	Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the “Selling, general and administrative” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

											2010		17.1
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $20 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized as a result of granting an executive officer shares of common stock of Holdings and fully vested restricted stock units.										The Company has a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors that allows each of these directors to defer their annual compensation. The plan is unfunded. For purposes of determining the investment return on the deferred compensation, each director's account is treated as if credited with a number of shares of Holdings stock determined by dividing the deferred compensation amount by the first Board approved fair value of the stock during the year. The account balance will be paid in cash upon termination of Board service, certain liquidity events or other certain events at the fair value of the stock at the time of settlement. Due to the cash settlement provisions, the account balances are recorded as a liability and are adjusted to fair value quarterly. As of December 31, 2012, the balance of this liability was $0.8 million.
	Stock Options										Stock Options
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 time-based options were granted under the stock plan. The time-based options granted generally vest equally over a three to five year period.										During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, time-based options were granted under the stock plan and during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, performance-based options were granted under the stock plan. The time-based options and performance-based options have a contractual term of 10 years. Time-based options vest equally over a three to five year period from the date of issuance and performance-based options vest based upon the Company achieving certain EBITDA targets. The options also have certain accelerated vesting provisions that become effective upon a change in control, a qualified public offering, or certain termination events.
	As of September 30, 2013 there was approximately $178 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. Approximately $3 million will be recognized over a period of approximately one year while approximately $175 million will only be recognized upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events.										In May 2010, the Company modified the terms of time-based options and substantially all performance-based options outstanding under the stock plan. The modifications only affected active employees as of the modification date. The exercise price on previously granted time-based options was reduced from $5 to $3. The Company is continuing to recognize expense on these options based on the original grant date fair value amortized over the remaining original vesting schedule. Subsequent to the modification, due to the nature of the call rights associated with the time-based options, which expire 180 days after certain employment termination events or the latter of September 24, 2012 or a qualified public offering, the incremental stock option fair value from the change in exercise price and the total fair value of time-based options issued since the modification date will only be recognized upon the occurrence of such events. Prior to the modifications, the call rights expired 180 days after certain employment termination events or the earlier of September 24, 2012 or a change in control. In addition, substantially all outstanding performance-based options were cancelled and reissued. The reissued performance-based options have an exercise price of $3 and a tiered vesting schedule that provides for vesting of 25%, 75% or 100% of the options if the Company achieves certain EBITDA targets in any fiscal year between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2013. The performance-based options have the same call rights as the time-based options described above. Due to the call rights, the Company will only recognize expense on the performance-based options upon certain employment termination events or the latter of September 24, 2012 or a qualified public offering. In conjunction with the above noted modifications, stock plan participants also received a cash bonus payment in the second quarter of 2010 totaling $7.8 million.
	The fair value of Holdings stock options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:										The nature of the call rights associated with stock options described above creates a performance condition that is not considered probable until the occurrence of one of the events described above. The call rights create a performance condition as they allow the Company to repurchase options at the lesser of the fair value or the exercise price upon an option holder's voluntary termination.
		Nine months ended									As of December 31, 2012 there was approximately $99 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. Approximately $5 million will be recognized over a period of approximately two years while approximately $94 million will only be recognized upon a qualified public offering or certain liquidity or employment termination events.

	Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units										Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free rate for stock options granted during the period was determined by using a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rate for the periods that coincided with the expected terms listed above.
	Restricted stock awards were granted under the stock plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $58 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock. Approximately $4 million will be recognized over a period of approximately two years while approximately $54 million will only be recognized upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events.										Expected dividend yield—No routine dividends are currently being paid by Holdings, or are expected to be paid in future periods.
	A summary of Holdings restricted stock award and restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:										Expected volatility—As Holdings is a non-publicly traded company, the expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of a group of guideline companies.

											Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
											Restricted stock awards were granted under the stock plan during 2012, 2011 and 2010. Grants were made as incentive awards. The restrictions on the awards granted subsequent to the modifications described above will lapse upon a qualified public offering, a change in control or certain employment termination or liquidity events. As such, the Company is not recognizing expense on awards granted subsequent to the modifications described above. The Company is continuing to recognize expense on the restricted stock awards granted prior to the modifications described above based on the original grant date fair value amortized over the remaining original vesting schedule. As of December 31, 2012 there was approximately $41 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock. Approximately $0.1 million will be recognized over a period of approximately two years with the remainder recognized upon the occurrence of certain liquidity or employment termination events.

	The majority of the Company’s investment securities are a component of settlement assets and represent the investment of funds received by the Company from prior sales of payment instruments (official checks and financial institution money orders) by authorized agents. The Company’s investment securities, excluding those classified as cash equivalents, within current settlement assets primarily consisted of municipal obligations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The Company’s long-term settlement assets were primarily comprised of student loan auction rate securities (“SLARS”) and municipal obligations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) on investments classified as settlement assets are recorded in the “Product sales and other” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also maintained investments in non-marketable securities, held for strategic purposes (collectively referred to as “cost method investments”) which are carried at cost and included in “Other long-term assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are evaluated for impairment upon an indicator of impairment such as an event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. As of September 30, 2013, there were no indicators of impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized an impairment of $8.7 million related to a cost method investment due to uncertainty regarding the investee’s viability as a going concern. Where there are no indicators of impairment present, the Company estimates the fair value for the cost method investments only if it is practicable to do so. As of September 30, 2013, it was deemed impracticable to estimate the fair value on $3.8 million of cost method assets due to the lack of sufficient data upon which to develop a valuation model and the costs of obtaining an independent valuation in relation to the size of the investments.

	Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities													Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	With respect to derivative instruments that are afforded hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of a net investment hedge that qualifies for hedge accounting are recorded as part of the cumulative translation adjustment in OCI to the extent the hedge is effective. Any ineffectiveness associated with designated cash flow hedges, as well as any change in the fair value of a derivative that is not designated as a hedge, is recorded immediately in “Other income (expense)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and the underlying hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges to forecasted transactions and net investment hedges to the underlying investment in a foreign subsidiary or affiliate. The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or foreign currency exposure of the underlying hedged items. The Company also performs an assessment of the probability of the forecasted transactions on a periodic basis. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective during the term of the hedge or if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively for such derivative.

	Credit Risk													Credit Risk
	The Company monitors the financial stability of its derivative counterparties and all counterparties remain highly-rated (in the “A” category or higher). The credit risk inherent in these agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review at inception of the hedge, as circumstances warrant, and at least on a quarterly basis of the credit risk of these counterparties. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with individual counterparties. The Company’s exposures are in liquid currencies (primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, Australian dollars, British pounds and Canadian dollars), so there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future.

														In January of 2013, the Company’s cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 69.6 million euro expired.  In January and February of 2013, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional values of 100.0 million Australian dollars and 200.0 million euro that were designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.
	Derivatives Not Qualifying for Hedge Accounting.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company held certain derivative instruments that functioned as economic hedges but no longer qualified or were not designated to qualify for hedge accounting. Such instruments included cross-currency swaps held in order to mitigate foreign currency exposure on intercompany loans and a portion of the Company’s net investment in its European operations, interest rate swaps held in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt and a fixed to floating interest rate swap held to maintain a desired ratio of fixed and variable rate debt.
														Derivatives Not Qualifying For Hedge Accounting.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held certain derivative instruments that functioned as economic hedges but no longer qualified or were not designated to qualify for hedge accounting. Such instruments included cross-currency swaps held in order to mitigate foreign currency exposure on intercompany loans and a portion of the Company’s net investment in its European operations, interest rate swaps held in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on interest payments related to variable rate debt and a fixed to floating interest rate swap held to maintain a desired ratio of fixed and variable rate debt.
	Interest rate swaps held during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion expired in September 2012. The Company held forward-starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion which became effective upon expiration of the prior instruments. The interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates as the prior interest rate swaps and will expire in September 2016. The Company did not designate the swaps as hedges for accounting purposes.
														Interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $5.0 billion expired in September 2012. During the third quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $3.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, all of which became effective upon expiration of the existing instruments. The interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and will expire in September 2016. The Company did not designate the swaps as hedges for accounting purposes.
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company held cross-currency swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting with a total notional value of 21.5 million euro (approximately $29.1 million at September 30, 2013) and 91.1 million euro, respectively. In January of 2013, the Company’s cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 69.6 million euro expired.
														During 2011, the Company entered into a fixed to floating interest rate swap in order to preserve the ratio of fixed and floating debt.  The swap has a notional value of $750.0 million and expires on June 15, 2019, but is subject to a mandatory put that will result in cash settlement on June 15, 2015.
	During the first quarter of 2012, an interest rate swap with a total notional value of $500 million ceased to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and the Company therefore de-designated the cash flow hedge from the beginning of the quarter. For this and for previous cash flow hedge de-designations, the amount carried in OCI as of the date of de-designation was subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the forecasted transactions affected earnings. As of September 30, 2013, there are no longer any losses carried in OCI related to interest rate swaps that are expected to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
														During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company held a foreign exchange rate collar with a notional value of $1.9 million that expired on March 31, 2011.
	For information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, derivative gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and accumulated derivative gains and losses in OCI, refer to the tables presented below.
														During the third quarter of 2010, five interest rate swaps with a total notional balance of $2.5 billion and one basis rate swap with a notional balance of $1.0 billion expired.
	Derivatives that Qualify for Hedge Accounting
														As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held cross-currency swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting with a total notional value of 91.1 million euro (approximately $120.5 million at December 31, 2012). In January of 2013, the Company’s cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 69.6 million euro expired.
	Hedges of net investments in foreign operations. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional values of 100.0 million Australian dollars and 200.0 million euro that were designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.  During the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional values of 100.0 million British pounds and 75.0 million Canadian dollars that were designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company held cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of 215.0 million Australian dollars (approximately $201.4 million at September 30, 2013), 200.0 million euro (approximately $270.5 million at September 30, 2013), 100.0 million British pounds (approximately $160.8 million at September 30, 2013) and 75.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $72.7 million at September 30, 2013).  As of September 30, 2012, the Company held a cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 115.0 million Australian dollars that was designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
														During 2012, 2011, and 2010, certain interest rate swaps previously designated as hedges for accounting purposes ceased to qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The Company therefore de-designated the hedges and ceased to apply hedge accounting from the beginning of the quarter during which the respective de-designations occurred. The amount carried in OCI as of the date of de-designation was subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the forecasted transactions affect earnings. As of December 31, 2012, there are no longer any losses carried in OCI related to interest rate swaps that are expected to be reclassified into the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the interest payments on its debt.
														For information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, derivative gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and accumulated derivative gains and losses in OCI, refer to the tables presented below.

														Derivatives That Qualify for Hedge Accounting.
	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
														Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company held a cross-currency swap with an aggregate notional value of 115.0 million Australian dollars (approximately $119.3 million at December 31, 2012) that was designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets

As of December 31, 2011, the Company held interest rate swaps which were designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the interest payments on $500 million of variable rate senior secured term loans which expired in September 2012. Since December 31, 2011, these designated cash flow hedges ceased to be highly effective in offsetting the variability in the interest payments, due in part to their approaching maturity dates, and were de-designated. Until the de-designation date of these cash flow hedges, the Company followed the hypothetical derivative method to measure hedge ineffectiveness which resulted mostly from the hedges being off-market at the time of designation, and any ineffectiveness was recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis										Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	Financial instruments carried and measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in the table below according to the fair value hierarchy:										Fair value is defined by accounting guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, based upon the available inputs to the valuation and the degree to which they are observable or not observable in the market. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows:
		As of September 30, 2013									·                          Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible as of the measurement date.
		Fair Value Measurement Using

		active markets			observable		unobservable
		for identical			inputs		inputs				·                          Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

Settlement assets - student loan auction rate securities. Due to the lack of observable market activity for the SLARS held by the Company as of September 30, 2013, the Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm upon which the Company in part relied, made certain assumptions, primarily relating to estimating both the weighted-average life for the securities held by the Company and the impact on the fair value of the current inability to redeem the securities at par value. All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management. The securities were valued using an income approach based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The Company considered each security’s key terms including date of issuance, date of maturity, auction intervals, scheduled auction dates, maximum auction rates, as well as underlying collateral, ratings, and guarantees or insurance. Due to the use of unobservable inputs, these instruments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments. The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate certain risks. The Company’s derivatives are not exchange listed and therefore the fair value is estimated under an income approach using Bloomberg analytics models that are based on readily observable market inputs. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, such as notional value and expiration date, as well as market-based observables including interest and foreign currency exchange rates, yield curves and the credit quality of the counterparties. The models also incorporate the Company’s creditworthiness in order to appropriately reflect non-performance risk. Inputs to the derivative pricing models are generally observable and do not contain a high level of subjectivity and, accordingly, the Company’s derivatives were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. While the Company believes its estimates result in a reasonable reflection of the fair value of these instruments, the estimated values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the near future.

Contingent liabilities.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to the acquisition of Clover Network, Inc. The transaction called for cash consideration as well as a series of contingent payments based on the achievement of specified sales targets. These contingent payments are classified as purchase consideration if made to outside investors and compensation if made to current and future employees. As part of the purchase price, the Company recorded a $20 million liability for the contingent consideration due to outside investors based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of the future payments. Subsequent measurements are made using the same methodology. This fair value measurement represents a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date. The primary assumption is the estimated number of merchant locations that will be using the software in the next four years.										Sales	(158.4		)

Bonds were valued under a market approach using observable inputs including reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other standard inputs. Municipal paper was valued under a market approach using observable inputs including maturity date, issue date, credit rating, current commercial paper rates and settlement date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not perform any material non-recurring fair value measurements.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded impairments totaling approximately $18 million on assets with a total carrying value of approximately $38 million due to the sale, expected sale or discontinued use of certain assets. The impairments related to property and equipment, customer relationships, software, and goodwill.  In addition, the Company impaired a strategic investment with a total carrying value of $8.7 million as discussed in Note 10.
										The Company’s experience with these types of investments and the expectations of the current investments held is that they will be satisfied at the current carrying amount. These securities were classified as Level 2.
The fair values of the impaired assets were estimated primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on management’s current cash flow projections and using assumptions that management believes are consistent with market participant assumptions. The inputs to the valuations are largely unobservable, and the measurements are accordingly classified as Level 3.  All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management.

										During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded impairments totaling approximately $22 million on assets with a total carrying value of approximately $42 million due to the sale, expected sale or discontinued use of certain assets. Approximately $5 million of the total impairments related to one business in the Financial Services segment and was recorded in the “Impairments” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, while the remaining amounts were individually insignificant and were recorded in the “Cost of services” line. The impairments related to property and equipment, customer relationships, software, and goodwill. In addition, the Company impaired a strategic investment with a total carrying value of $8.7 million within the Retail and Alliance Segment as discussed in Note 5. The impairment was recorded in the “Other income (expense)” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
										During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying value of existing assets based on non-recurring fair value measurements.
										During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded impairments in the Retail and Alliance and International segments totaling $11.5 million on assets with a total carrying value of $11.7 million, as a result of changes in management’s expectations with respect to projected cash flows, ongoing negative cash flows for certain assets or asset groups or due to the discontinued use of certain assets. The impairments related to property and equipment, customer relationships, software, other intangibles, and other long-term assets and were recorded in the “Impairments” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
										The fair values of the impaired assets were estimated primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis for 2012 and an income approach for 2010, both based on management’s current cash flow projections and using assumptions that management believed were consistent with market participant assumptions. The inputs to the valuations were largely unobservable, and the measurements were accordingly classified as Level 3. The majority of these assets were deemed fully impaired. All key assumptions and valuations were determined by and are the responsibility of management. This fair value measurement represents a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The fair value will be measured on a non-recurring basis. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions.
										Also during the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to a small divestiture. The transaction called for a series of contingent payments based on revenue over three years. As part of the sale price, the Company recorded a $14 million asset for the contingent consideration due based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of future receipts from the buyer.

	The Company’s effective tax rates on pretax loss were expenses of 18.9% and 19.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and benefits of 28.5% and 38.5% for the same periods in 2012. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were lower than the statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances being recorded in certain tax jurisdictions, where deferred tax benefits are not recognized on pretax losses, while tax expense is recognized in jurisdictions with pretax earnings. Also negatively impacting the rate was an increase in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  These negative adjustments were partially offset by state tax benefits, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from pass-through entities for which there was no tax expense provided, certain immaterial prior period adjustments and foreign income taxed at lower effective rates.  As a result of the Company’s pretax losses in each of the periods, favorable and unfavorable tax impacts have the opposite effect on the effective tax rate.

	The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were each favorably impacted by state tax benefits, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for which there was no tax expense provided and foreign income taxed at lower effective rates, and unfavorably impacted by increases in the Company’s valuation allowance against foreign tax credits.  In addition to the above factors, the three-month period was unfavorably impacted by certain immaterial prior period adjustments, while the nine-month period was favorably impacted by a decrease in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits.	Components of pretax (loss) income:
		Domestic	$	(875.5	)	$	(898.9	)	$	(1,289.1	)
	The Company projects that its deferred tax assets will exceed its deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2013.  As a result, the Company determined that it is not more likely than not that it would be able to realize the value of its federal and combined state net operating loss carryforwards and has recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of these carryforwards.  This valuation allowance is expected to increase over time as the Company’s deferred tax liabilities continue to decrease and will have a continuing adverse impact on the Company’s effective tax rate in the future.

	The balance of the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $288 million as of September 30, 2013.  The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $138 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of federal tax audits, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.

		(c)          The 2012 effective tax rate was negatively impacted by a total of approximately 9% as a result of the current year cumulative correction of immaterial prior year errors.  The cumulative corrections had an impact on each of the following line items above:  Impact of foreign operations, Valuation allowances, Liability for unrecognized tax benefits and Prior year adjustments.
		The Company’s income tax (benefits) provisions consisted of the following components:

			$	(224.0	)	$	(270.1	)	$	(323.8	)
		Income tax payments, net of refunds received, of $70.1 million, $67.2 million and $100.5 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were greater than current expense primarily as a result of the decreased liability for unrecognized tax benefits reducing current expense.
		Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets are included in both “Other current assets” and “Other long-term assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred tax liabilities are included in “Deferred long-term tax liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table outlines the principal components of deferred tax items:
			As of December 31,
		(in millions)	2012			2011(a)
		Deferred tax assets related to:
		Reserves and other accrued expenses	$	543.5		$	450.3

	Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(425.2	)	$	(576.6	)
	(a)         Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
	The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
		As of December 31,
	(in millions)	2012			2011
	Current deferred tax assets	$	73.9		$	108.3
	Long-term deferred tax assets	10.4			10.5
	Long-term deferred tax liabilities	(509.5		)	(695.4		)
	Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(425.2	)	$	(576.6	)
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had recorded valuation allowances of $896.5 million and $744.6 million, respectively, against federal, state and foreign net operating and capital losses, foreign tax credits and impairments. The increase to the valuation allowance of $151.9 million in 2012 was primarily due to current year foreign and state net operating losses which may not be utilized within the statute of limitations and foreign tax credits for which it is likely that no benefit will be realized in the future. In determining the necessary amount of valuation allowance, the Company has considered a tax planning strategy related to its investments in affiliates.  Implementation of this strategy would result in the immediate reversal of temporary differences associated with the excess of book basis over tax basis in the investments.
	The following table presents the approximate amounts of federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit, general business credit and minimum tax credit carryforwards:
		As of December 31,
	(in millions)	2012
	Federal net operating loss carryforwards (a)	$	1,766.10
	State net operating loss carryforwards (b)	2,759.20
	Foreign net operating loss carryforwards (c)	2,450.00
	Foreign tax credit carryforwards (d)	144.1
	General business credit carryforwards (e)	11.1
	Minimum tax credit carryforwards (f)	1.6
	(a)                  If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2015 through 2032.
	(b)                  If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2013 through 2032.
	(c)                   Foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $137 million, if not utilized, will expire in years 2013 through 2027. The remaining foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2,313 million have an indefinite life.
	(d)                  If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2018 through 2022.
	(e)                   If not utilized, these carryforwards will expire in years 2027 through 2031.
	(f)                    These carryforwards have an indefinite life.
	The Company intends to indefinitely invest its net equity in its foreign operations, with the exception of any undistributed foreign earnings.  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2012, no provision had been made for U.S. federal and state income taxes on the cumulative amount of temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries, other than those differences related to the undistributed earnings.  Upon sale or liquidation of these investments, the Company would potentially be subject to U.S., state and foreign income taxes and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.  Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.
	A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 is as follows:
	(in millions)	Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	Balance as of January 1, 2010	$	415
	Increases for tax positions of prior years	0.5
	Decreases for tax positions of prior years	(45.4		)
	Increases for tax positions related to the current period	1.9
	Decreases for cash settlements with taxing authorities	(1.4		)
	Decreases due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(2.0		)
	Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	368.6
	Increases for tax positions of prior years	1.3
	Decreases for tax positions of prior years	(28.5		)
	Increases for tax positions related to the current period	1.7
	Decreases for cash settlements with taxing authorities	(1.0		)
	Decreases due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(7.4		)
	Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	334.7
	Increases for tax positions of prior years	5.5
	Decreases for tax positions of prior years	(57.7		)
	Increases for tax positions related to the current period	6.2
	Decreases for cash settlements with taxing authorities	(0.1		)
	Decreases due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations	(2.4		)
	Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	286.2
	Most of the unrecognized tax benefits are included in the “Other long-term liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of the federal benefit on state income taxes (approximately $21 million at December 31, 2012).  However, those unrecognized tax benefits that affect the federal consolidated tax years ending December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012 are included in the “Long-term deferred tax liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets,” as these items reduce the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards from those periods.  The unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 included approximately $163 million, $172 million, and $195 million, respectively, of tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
	During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $52 million upon closure of the 2003 and 2004 federal tax years and the resolution of certain state audit issues.  The reduction in liabilities was recorded through a decrease to tax expense and an increase to deferred tax liabilities.
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $25 million after negotiating settlements with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding specific contested issues in the 2003 through 2006 federal tax years. The reduction in liabilities was recorded through a decrease to tax expense.
	During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $39 million upon the closure of the 2002 federal tax year and after negotiating settlements with the IRS regarding specific contested issues in the 2003 and 2004 federal tax years. The reduction in the liability was recorded through a decrease to tax expense and an increase to deferred tax liabilities.
	The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the “Income tax (benefit) expense” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Cumulative accrued interest and penalties (net of related tax benefits) are not included in the ending balances of unrecognized tax benefits.  Cumulative accrued interest and penalties are included in the “Other long-term liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets while the related tax benefits are included in the “Long-term deferred tax liabilities” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The following table presents the approximate amounts associated with accrued interest expense and the cumulative accrued interest and penalties:
		Year ended December 31,
		2012			2011			2010
	Current year accrued interest expense (net of related tax benefits)	$	4		$	9		$	14
	Cumulative accrued interest and penalties (net of related tax benefits)	$	47		$	69		$	67
	As of December 31, 2012, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $126 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of its 2005 through 2007 federal tax years, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The potential decrease relates to various federal, state and foreign tax benefits including research and experimentation credits, transfer pricing adjustments and certain amortization and loss deductions.
	The Company or one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company was no longer subject to income tax examination by the U.S. federal jurisdiction for years before 2005.  State and local examinations are substantially complete through 2002.  Foreign jurisdictions generally remain subject to examination by their respective authorities from 2005 forward, none of which are considered major jurisdictions.
	Under the Tax Allocation Agreement executed at the time of the spin-off of The Western Union Company (“Western Union”) on September 29, 2006, Western Union is responsible for and must indemnify the Company against all taxes, interest and penalties that relate to Western Union for periods prior to the spin-off date. If Western Union were to agree to or be finally determined to owe any amounts for such periods but were to default in its indemnification obligation under the Tax Allocation Agreement, the Company as parent of the tax group during such periods generally would be required to pay the amounts to the relevant tax authority, resulting in a potentially material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $110 million of income taxes payable, including approximately $4 million of uncertain income tax liabilities, recorded related to Western Union for periods prior to the spin-off date. The Company has recorded a corresponding account receivable of equal amount from Western Union, which is included as a long-term account receivable in the “Other long-term assets” line of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, reflecting the indemnification obligation.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the uncertain income tax liabilities related to Western Union decreased by approximately $14 million as a result of the closure of the 2003-2004 federal tax years.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that the uncertain tax liabilities related to Western Union may decrease by approximately $4 million within the next twelve months as the result of the possible closure of its 2005 and 2006 federal tax years.  The uncertain income tax liabilities and corresponding receivable are based on information provided by Western Union regarding its tax contingency reserves for periods prior to the spin-off date. There is no assurance that a Western Union-related issue raised by the IRS or other tax authority will be finally resolved at a cost not in excess of the amount reserved and reflected in the Company’s uncertain income tax liabilities and corresponding receivable from Western Union.  The Western Union contingent liability is in addition to the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits discussed above.
	The IRS completed its examination of the U.S. federal consolidated income tax returns of the Company for 2005-2007 and issued a 30-Day letter on October 31, 2012.  The 30-Day letter claims that the Company and its subsidiaries, which included Western Union during some of the years at issue, owe additional taxes with respect to a variety of adjustments.  The Company and Western Union agree with several of the adjustments in the 30-Day letter, such adjustments representing tax due of approximately $40 million.  This undisputed tax and associated interest due (pretax) of approximately $16 million through December 31, 2012, have been fully reserved.  The undisputed tax for which Western Union would be required to indemnify the Company is greater than the total tax due, such that settlement of the undisputed tax would result in a net refund to the Company.  As to the adjustments that are disputed, such issues represent total taxes allegedly due of approximately $59 million, of which $40 million relates to the Company and $19 million relates to Western Union.  The Company estimates that total interest due (pretax) on the disputed amounts is approximately $16 million through December 31, 2012, of which $9 million relates to the Company and $7 million relates to Western Union.  As to the disputed issues, the Company and Western Union have contested the adjustments by filing a protest with the IRS.  The IRS has prepared a rebuttal to the protest and has forwarded the case to Appeals. The Company believes that it has adequately reserved for the disputed issues in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits described above and that final resolution of those issues will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

		2012 Acquisitions
		In April 2012, the Company acquired the remaining approximately 30 percent noncontrolling interest in Omnipay for approximately 37.1 million euro, of which 19.0 million euro ($25.1 million) was paid in April 2012 with the remainder to be paid in April 2013.
		In December 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Clover Network, Inc., a provider of payment network services for total consideration of $54.1 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction consisted of net cash consideration of $34.1 million as well as a series of contingent payments based on the achievement of specified sales targets. These contingent payments are classified as purchase consideration if made to outside investors and compensation if made to current and future employees.  As part of the purchase price, the Company recorded a $20 million liability for the contingent consideration due to outside investors based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of the future payments.   The acquisition will be reported as part of the Retail and Alliance Services segment.
		2012 Disposition
		During the year ended December 31, 2012, contingent consideration was recorded related to a small divestiture. The transaction called for a series of contingent payments based on revenue over three years. As part of the sale price, the Company recorded a $14 million asset for the contingent consideration due based upon the net present value of the Company’s estimate of future receipts from the buyer.
		2011 Disposition
		In November 2011, the Company contributed the assets of its transportation business to an alliance in exchange for a 30% noncontrolling interest in that alliance, as discussed in further detail in Note 18 of these Consolidated Financial Statements, and accordingly, the transportation business was deconsolidated.
		2010 Redemption
		On June 26, 2009, Bank of America N.A. (“BofA”) and the Company, together with Rockmount, an investment vehicle controlled by a third-party investor, formed a new company, BAMS. BAMS provides clients with a comprehensive suite of acquiring and processing payment products for credit and debit cards as well as merchant loyalty, prepaid, check and e-commerce solutions.
		At the time of the formation, the Company owned a 48.45% direct voting interest in BAMS and Bank of America N.A. (“BofA”) owned a 46.55% direct voting interest. The remaining stake in BAMS was a 5% non-voting interest held by Rockmount. The Company owned a 40% noncontrolling interest in Rockmount. In May 2010, the third party owning a controlling interest in Rockmount exercised a put right on Rockmount’s beneficial interest in BAMS requiring net cash payments from FDC of $213 million. The redemption amount was based on Rockmount’s capital account balance in BAMS immediately prior to the redemption with an additional adjustment paid by the Company and Bank of America N.A. based on the level of BAMS revenues for the trailing 12 month period ended March 31, 2010. After redemption by Rockmount, the Company owns 51% of BAMS and Bank of America N.A. owns 49%.
		2010 Disposition
		During 2010, the Company received a contingent payment in connection with the November 2009 sale of a merchant acquiring business.

	As described in Note 4 of these Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the 12.625% senior notes, 11.25% senior notes, 10.625% senior notes, 11.25% senior subordinated notes and 11.75% senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by substantially all existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, domestic subsidiaries of FDC other than Integrated Payment Systems Inc. (“Guarantors”). The Guarantors guarantee the senior secured revolving credit facility, senior secured term loan facility, the 8.875% senior secured notes, the 7.375% senior secured notes and the 6.75% senior secured notes, which rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future unsecured and second lien indebtedness of FDC’s guarantor subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the collateral.

										In 2011, the Company recorded a net $58.5 million pretax ($35.2 million after tax) benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations to correct cumulative depreciation and amortization errors related to purchase accounting associated with the Company’s 2007 merger with an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. The corrections impacted “Costs of services” ($10.2 million expense), “Depreciation and amortization” ($57.7 million benefit) and amortization of equity method investments within “Equity earnings in affiliates” ($11.0 million benefit). The errors and the cumulative correction, which totaled $58.5 million in aggregate and occurred over a four year period, were deemed immaterial to prior years and the current year, respectively.
Revenue Recognition	'									'
	Revenue Recognition									Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenues from its processing services as such services are performed. Revenue is recorded net of certain costs such as credit and offline debit interchange fees and assessments charged by credit card associations. Debit network fees related to acquired personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) transactions are recognized in the “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenue and expense lines of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents the amounts associated with processing services revenue:									The majority of the Company’s revenues are comprised of transaction-based fees, which typically constitute a percentage of dollar volume processed, or a fee per transaction processed, or account on file or some combination thereof. In limited circumstances, revenue is allocated to the separate units of accounting in a multiple element transaction based on relative selling prices, provided each element has stand alone value to the customer, and delivery of any undelivered items is probable and substantially within the Company’s control.
		Three months ended				Nine months ended				In the case of merchant contracts that the Company owns and manages, revenue is primarily comprised of fees charged to the merchant, net of interchange and assessments charged by the credit card associations, and is recognized at the time of sale. The fees charged to the merchant are a percentage of the credit card and signature based debit card transaction’s dollar value, a fixed amount or a combination of the two. Personal identification number based debit (“PIN-debit”) network fees are recognized in “Reimbursable debit network fees, postage and other” revenues and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Check verification fees generally are a fixed amount per transaction while check guarantee fees generally are a percentage of the check amount.
										The purchase and sale of merchant contracts is an ordinary element of the Company’s Retail and Alliance Services and International businesses, and therefore, the gains from selling these revenue-generating assets are included within the “Product sales and other” component of revenues.

										Software licensing revenue, which is reported in the “Product sales and other” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, is not recognized until each of the following four criteria are met: evidence of an agreement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price is reasonably assured.
										The sale and leasing of point-of-sale (“POS”) devices (“terminals”) are also reported in “Product sales and other”. Revenue for terminals sold or sold under a sales-type lease transaction is recognized when the following four criteria are met: evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price or minimum lease payments are fixed or determinable, and collection of the selling price or minimum lease payments is reasonably assured. Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
										The official check and money order services and merchant acquiring business generate revenue through the ability to invest funds pending settlement. Gains and losses associated with the above noted investments are recognized in revenue.
										Services not specifically described above are generally transaction based fees that are recognized at the time the transactions are processed or programming services that are recorded as work is performed.
New Accounting Guidance	'									'
	New Accounting Guidance									New Accounting Guidance
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that resolves diversity in practice as to when to release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary within a foreign entity or sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity.  The guidance also resolves diversity in the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment in a business combination achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The Company adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2013.  Adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.									In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. Under the amended guidance, an entity has the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount, then quantitative impairment testing is unnecessary. The Company adopted the amendments for its 2012 annual impairment test. After performing a qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded to a quantitative impairment test.
