Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business and Basis of Presentation | 1. Business and Basis of Presentation Business The Western Union Company (“Western Union” or the “Company”) is a leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement, payments, and digital financial services, empowering consumers, businesses, financial institutions, and governments with fast, reliable, and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union brand is globally recognized. The Company’s services are available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories and also through money transfer transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile applications marketed under the Company’s brands (“Branded Digital”) and transactions initiated on internet and mobile applications hosted by the Company’s third-party white label partners. Each location in the Company’s agent network is capable of providing one or more of the Company’s services. The Western Union business consists of the following operating segments: • Consumer Money Transfer - The Consumer Money Transfer segment facilitates money transfers, which are primarily sent from retail agent locations worldwide or through websites and mobile devices. The Company’s money transfer service is provided through one interconnected global network. This service is available for international cross-border transfers and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers. • Consumer Services - The Consumer Services segment includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments for consumers, businesses, and other organizations, as well as the Company’s money order services, retail foreign exchange services, prepaid cards, lending partnerships, digital wallets, and media network. See Note 14 for further information regarding the Company’s segments. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business, and the final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction. There are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring certain assets of the Company outside of the countries where these assets are located. However, there are generally no limitations on the use of these assets within those countries. Additionally, the Company must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's restricted net assets associated with these asset limitations and minimum capital requirements totaled approximately $ 440 million . Various aspects of the Company’s services and businesses are subject to United States federal, state, and local regulation, as well as regulation by foreign jurisdictions, including certain banking and other financial services regulations. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for all periods presented. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of September 30, 2024 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding segment reporting. The standard requires that public entities expand reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2024 annual reporting and effective January 1, 2025 for its interim reporting, using a retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures and is in the process of preparing to comply with the new disclosure requirements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding income tax disclosures. The standard requires that public entities disclose more consistent and detailed categories in their statutory to effective income tax rate reconciliations and further disaggregate income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2025 annual reporting, using a prospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’ s disclosures. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | 2. Revenue The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, pay-in and pay-out method, the principal amount sent, and the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and a rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, when the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies. The Company also offers other consumer services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. The Company analyzes its different services individually to determine the appropriate basis for revenue recognition. For additional information on the Company's different services, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenues from consumer money transfers are included in the Company’s Consumer Money Transfer segment and revenues from consumer bill payment and other services are included in the Company’s Consumer Services segment. Revenues from business-to-business foreign exchange and payment services were included in the Company’s Business Solutions segment. See Note 14 for further information on the Company’s segments. The substantial majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time. The following tables represent the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers by product type and region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 3. Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect. Shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation were 11.3 million and 9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively, and 11.7 million and 9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effect of these shares was anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, as the assumed proceeds of the options and restricted stock per unit were above the Company's average share price during the periods. The following table provides the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 338.3 373.9 340.5 374.5 Common stock equivalents 1.2 1.1 1.1 0.9 Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 339.5 375.0 341.6 375.4 |

Divestiture | 4. Divestiture On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, “the Buyer”) for cash consideration of $ 910.0 million. The sale was completed in three closings, with the entire cash consideration collected at the first closing and allocated to the closings on a relative fair value basis. The final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023 and resulted in a gain of $ 18.0 million. During the period between the second and final closings, the Company was required to pay the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union operations, while owned by the Company, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities, and other items, as contractually agreed, which was $ 2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and was included in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income was also passed to the Buyer. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 , Business Solutions revenues were $ 29.7 million, and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations, were $ 26.1 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 , divestiture costs directly associated with this transaction were $ 0.1 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 5. Fair Value Measurements Fair value, as defined by the relevant accounting standards, represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on how the Company measures fair value, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by category (in millions): Fair Value Measurement Using Total September 30, 2024 Level 1 Level 2 Fair Value Assets: Settlement assets: Measured at fair value through net income: Money market funds $ 14.2 $ — $ 14.2 Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (net of expected credit losses recorded through net income): State and municipal debt securities — 1,108.8 1,108.8 Asset-backed securities — 261.6 261.6 Corporate debt securities — 86.4 86.4 State and municipal variable-rate demand notes — 47.4 47.4 United States government agency mortgage-backed securities — 8.2 8.2 Other assets: Derivatives — 8.5 8.5 Total assets $ 14.2 $ 1,520.9 $ 1,535.1 Liabilities: Other liabilities: Derivatives $ — $ 17.1 $ 17.1 Total liabilities $ — $ 17.1 $ 17.1 Fair Value Measurement Using Total December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Fair Value Assets: Settlement assets: Measured at fair value through net income: Money market funds $ 11.8 $ — $ 11.8 Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (net of expected credit losses recorded through net income): State and municipal debt securities — 1,011.4 1,011.4 Asset-backed securities — 195.7 195.7 Corporate debt securities — 152.2 152.2 State and municipal variable-rate demand notes — 86.8 86.8 United States government agency mortgage-backed securities — 12.1 12.1 Other assets: Derivatives — 10.8 10.8 Total assets $ 11.8 $ 1,469.0 $ 1,480.8 Liabilities: Other liabilities: Derivatives $ — $ 17.4 $ 17.4 Total liabilities $ — $ 17.4 $ 17.4 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, non-recurring fair value adjustments were approximately $ 12 million for impairments related to the Company's assets in Russia. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 , non-recurring fair value adjustments were approximately $ 10 million for impairments primarily related to software no longer in use. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Other Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts for many of the Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, settlement cash and cash equivalents, and settlement receivables and obligations approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and the aggregate fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from multiple banks. Fixed-rate notes are carried in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their original issuance values as adjusted over time to accrete that value to par. As of September 30, 2024, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $ 2,586.7 million and $ 2,564.0 million, respectively (see Note 11). As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s borrowings were $ 2,504.6 million and $ 2,419.0 million, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 6. Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees The Company had approximately $ 60 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of September 30, 2024, which were primarily held in connection with regulatory requirements, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. The Company expects to renew many of its letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration. Litigation and Related Contingencies The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation that could result in losses, including damages, fines, and/or civil penalties, which could be significant, and in some cases, criminal charges. The Company regularly evaluates the status of legal matters to assess whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable in determining whether an accrual is appropriate. Furthermore, in determining whether disclosure is appropriate, the Company evaluates each legal matter to assess if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss or additional material losses may have been incurred. The Company also evaluates whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made. Unless otherwise specified below, the Company believes that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for each of the matters described below. For those matters that the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and can reasonably estimate the loss or potential loss, the reasonably possible potential litigation losses in excess of the Company’s recorded liability for probable and estimable losses was approximately $ 30 million as of September 30, 2024. For the remaining matters, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of loss because, among other reasons: (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damage claims are unsupported and/or unreasonable; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or (vi) novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories are being asserted. The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss, and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established liability or the range of reasonably possible loss. Legal Matters In October 2015, Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa, an Argentinian consumer association, filed a purported class action lawsuit in Argentina’s National Commercial Court No. 19 against the Company’s subsidiary Western Union Financial Services Argentina S.R.L. (“WUFSA”). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that WUFSA’s fees for money transfers sent from Argentina are excessive and that WUFSA does not provide consumers with adequate information about foreign exchange rates. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, an order requiring WUFSA to reimburse consumers for the fees they paid and the foreign exchange revenue associated with money transfers sent from Argentina, plus punitive damages. The complaint does not specify a monetary value of the claim or a time period. In November 2015, the Court declared the complaint formally admissible as a class action. The notice of claim was served on WUFSA in May 2016, and in June 2016 WUFSA filed a response to the claim and moved to dismiss it on statute of limitations and standing grounds. In April 2017, the Court deferred ruling on the motion until later in the proceedings. The process for notifying potential class members has been completed, and the case is in the evidentiary stage. Due to the stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter. WUFSA intends to defend itself vigorously. In December 2022, a purported class action complaint was filed against several money transfer business defendants, including the Company, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that these defendants violated the federal Right to Financial Privacy Act and California’s Financial Information Privacy Act. The United States Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement were also named as defendants. The original complaint alleged that the defendants violated the plaintiffs’ financial privacy rights by sharing private financial information with law enforcement agencies through a program coordinated by the Transaction Record Analysis Center. On January 24, 2023, an amended complaint was filed naming the Company's subsidiary Western Union Financial Services, Inc. (“WUFSI”) as a defendant in place of the Company. The court granted in part and denied in part WUFSI’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint on March 21, 2024. On May 9, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint that re-alleged the state law cause of action against WUFSI, but did not re-allege the federal cause of action against WUFSI. On September 30, 2024, the court granted WUFSI’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. WUFSI will continue to defend itself vigorously in this matter. In February 2024, another purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company (doing business as WUFSI) and other defendants on behalf of California residents whose information was sent to the Transaction Record Analysis Center. On April 12, 2024, an amended complaint was filed naming WUFSI as a defendant in place of the Company. Due to the preliminary stage of this matter, the ultimate outcome and any potential financial impact to the Company cannot be reasonably determined at this time. WUFSI intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter. In late 2017, three individuals filed a lawsuit against certain alleged Western Union entities (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Commercial Court in Kinshasa-Gombe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”), which was later joined by three additional individuals. These six individuals (the “Plaintiffs”), including current and/or former DRC government officials, claim that their privacy rights were violated and sought € 22.4 million in damages. In 2018, the Commercial Court in Kinshasa-Gombe entered a judgment against the Defendants in the amount of € 10.5 million ($ 11.7 million as of September 30, 2024). In 2019, the Commercial Court in Kinshasa-Gombe entered a judgment against the Company in the amount of € 9 million ($ 10.0 million as of September 30, 2024). The business in the DRC is operated through independent agents. The Plaintiffs have previously sought and may continue to attempt to seize funds from the Company's independent agents in the DRC to satisfy the judgments. The Defendants have learned that certain challenges to the judgments have been denied. The Defendants and the Company intend to continue to challenge both judgments and defend themselves vigorously in these matters. In addition to the principal matters described above, the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the Company’s business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Settlement Assets and Obligations | 8. Settlement Assets and Obligations Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents and others for unsettled money transfers, money orders, and consumer payments. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to amounts payable under money transfers, money orders, and consumer payment service arrangements. Settlement assets and obligations consisted of the following (in millions): September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Settlement assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 327.2 $ 496.0 Receivables from agents and others 1,489.0 1,748.3 Less: Allowance for credit losses ( 21.6 ) ( 15.4 ) Receivables from agents and others, net 1,467.4 1,732.9 Investment securities 1,512.4 1,458.2 Less: Allowance for credit losses ( 0.1 ) ( 0.1 ) Investment securities, net 1,512.3 1,458.1 Total settlement assets $ 3,306.9 $ 3,687.0 Settlement obligations: Money transfer, money order, and payment service payables $ 2,712.1 $ 2,764.5 Payables to agents 594.8 922.5 Total settlement obligations $ 3,306.9 $ 3,687.0 Allowance for Credit Losses Receivables from agents and others primarily represent funds collected by such agents, but in transit to the Company. Cash received by Western Union agents generally becomes available to the Company within one week after initial receipt by the agent. Western Union has a large and diverse agent base, thereby reducing the credit risk of the Company from any one agent. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its agents’ financial condition and credit worthiness. The Company establishes and monitors an allowance for credit losses related to receivables from agents and others. The Company has estimated the allowance based on its historical collections experience, adjusted for current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions based on information known as of September 30, 2024. The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for credit losses on receivables from agents and others, and Business Solutions customers (in millions): Agents and Others Allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2024 $ 15.4 Current period provision for expected credit losses (a) — Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 5.2 ) Recoveries of amounts previously written off 2.3 Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other ( 0.6 ) Allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2024 11.9 Current period provision for expected credit losses (a) 3.0 Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 8.4 ) Recoveries of amounts previously written off 3.3 Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other 1.9 Allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2024 11.7 Current period provision for expected credit losses (a) 12.8 Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 8.8 ) Recoveries of amounts previously written off 6.9 Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other ( 1.0 ) Allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2024 $ 21.6 Agents and Business Solutions Others Customers Allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2023 $ 11.4 $ 1.6 Current period provision for expected credit losses (a) ( 0.4 ) 0.4 Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 4.2 ) ( 0.7 ) Recoveries of amounts previously written off 1.8 — Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other 0.1 0.7 Allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2023 8.7 2.0 Current period provision for expected credit losses (a) 5.3 1.0 Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 4.1 ) ( 2.4 ) Recoveries of amounts previously written off 1.4 — Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other 0.4 ( 0.6 ) Allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 11.7 — Current period provision for expected credit losses (a) 17.2 — Write-offs charged against the allowance ( 7.3 ) — Recoveries of amounts previously written off 1.0 — Impacts of foreign currency exchange rates and other ( 2.1 ) — Allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2023 $ 20.5 $ — (a) Provision does not include losses from chargebacks or fraud associated with transactions initiated through the Company’s digital channels, as these losses are not credit-related. The Company recognized losses that were not credit-related of $ 14.8 million, $ 12.5 million, and $ 13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024, respectively, and $ 9.1 million, $ 6.1 million, and $ 10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, from time to time, the Company makes advances to its agents and disbursement partners. The Company often owes settlement funds payable to these agents that offset these advances. These amounts advanced to agents and disbursement partners are included within Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , amounts advanced to agents and disbursement partners were $ 222.7 million and $ 188.5 million, respectively, and the related allowances for credit losses were immaterial. Investment Securities Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2052 . These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification. Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity, and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis. The components of investment securities are as follows (in millions): Gross Gross Net Amortized Fair Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized September 30, 2024 Cost Value Gains Losses Gains/(Losses) Settlement assets: Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 14.2 $ 14.2 $ — $ — $ — Available-for-sale securities: State and municipal debt securities (a) 1,118.9 1,108.8 19.0 ( 29.1 ) ( 10.1 ) Asset-backed securities 256.7 261.6 4.9 — 4.9 Corporate debt securities 87.2 86.4 1.8 ( 2.6 ) ( 0.8 ) State and municipal variable-rate demand notes 47.4 47.4 — — — United States government agency mortgage-backed securities 8.3 8.2 — ( 0.1 ) ( 0.1 ) Total available-for-sale securities 1,518.5 1,512.4 25.7 ( 31.8 ) ( 6.1 ) Total investment securities $ 1,532.7 $ 1,526.6 $ 25.7 $ ( 31.8 ) $ ( 6.1 ) Gross Gross Net Amortized Fair Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized December 31, 2023 Cost Value Gains Losses Gains/(Losses) Settlement assets: Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 11.8 $ 11.8 $ — $ — $ — Available-for-sale securities: State and municipal debt securities (a) 1,049.3 1,011.4 8.7 ( 46.6 ) ( 37.9 ) Asset-backed securities 194.5 195.7 1.2 — 1.2 Corporate debt securities 155.2 152.2 1.5 ( 4.5 ) ( 3.0 ) State and municipal variable-rate demand notes 86.8 86.8 — — — United States government agency mortgage-backed securities 12.6 12.1 — ( 0.5 ) ( 0.5 ) Total available-for-sale securities 1,498.4 1,458.2 11.4 ( 51.6 ) ( 40.2 ) Total investment securities $ 1,510.2 $ 1,470.0 $ 11.4 $ ( 51.6 ) $ ( 40.2 ) (a) The majority of these securities are fixed-rate instruments. The following summarizes investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2024, by the length of time the securities were in a continuous loss position (in millions, except number of securities): Less Than One Year Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses State and municipal debt securities 18 $ 27.2 $ ( 0.4 ) One Year or Greater Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses State and municipal debt securities 239 $ 521.7 $ ( 28.7 ) Corporate debt securities 11 42.9 ( 2.6 ) United States government agency mortgage-backed securities 8 6.9 ( 0.1 ) The Company's provision for credit losses on its investment securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the related allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2024 were immaterial, as the unrealized losses were driven by a rise in U.S. Treasury interest rates since those investment securities were purchased. As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not intend to sell its securities in an unrealized loss position and did not expect it would be required to sell these securities prior to recovering their amortized cost basis. The following summarizes the contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities within Settlement assets as of September 30, 2024 (in millions): Fair Value Due within 1 year $ 95.4 Due after 1 year through 5 years 571.8 Due after 5 years through 10 years 525.8 Due after 10 years 319.4 Total $ 1,512.4 Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations or the Company may have the right to put the obligation prior to its contractual maturity, as with variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand notes, having a fair value of $ 47.4 million, are included in the “Due after 10 years” category in the table above. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives | 10. Derivatives The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, including the euro, and, to a lesser degree, the British pound, the Mexican peso, and other currencies, related to forecasted revenues and settlement assets and obligations, as well as on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. Additionally, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in market rates both prior to and subsequent to the issuance of debt. The Company uses derivatives to minimize its exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company executes derivatives with established financial institutions; the substantial majority of these financial institutions have a credit rating of “A-” or higher from a major credit rating agency. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis, while also monitoring the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty. Foreign Currency Derivatives The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year , to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of September 30, 2024 , these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year . These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to one month , to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges. The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (in millions): September 30, 2024 Contracts designated as hedges: Euro $ 208.4 Canadian dollar 107.4 British pound 68.3 Australian dollar 48.8 Swiss franc 39.7 Other (a) 36.6 Contracts not designated as hedges: Euro $ 538.7 Mexican peso 114.8 British pound 109.8 Australian dollar 74.6 Philippine peso 55.5 Indian rupee 53.1 Canadian dollar 51.7 Chinese yuan 42.1 Brazilian real 28.2 Indonesian rupiah 27.3 New Zealand dollar 25.5 Other (a) 149.6 December 31, 2023 Contracts designated as hedges: Euro $ 227.0 Canadian dollar 97.9 British pound 56.9 Australian dollar 46.5 Swiss franc 37.4 Other (a) 40.3 Contracts not designated as hedges: Euro $ 597.9 British pound 174.9 Mexican peso 168.1 Australian dollar 79.9 Canadian dollar 77.2 Indian rupee 55.3 Philippine peso 38.0 Brazilian real 31.4 Chinese yuan 30.0 Japanese yen 29.2 Singapore dollar 27.5 Other (a) 146.2 (a) Comprised of exposures to various currencies; none of these individual currency exposures is greater than $ 25 million. Business Solutions Operations Prior to the final closing of the Business Solutions sale in 2023, the derivatives written related to this business were part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily included spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions included in Revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $ 27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 . None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations were designated as accounting hedges. Balance Sheet The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions): Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Fair Value Fair Value Balance Sheet September 30, December 31, Balance Sheet September 30, December 31, Location 2024 2023 Location 2024 2023 Derivatives designated as hedges: Foreign currency cash flow hedges Other assets $ 5.4 $ 8.5 Other liabilities $ 15.3 $ 13.2 Total derivatives designated as hedges $ 5.4 $ 8.5 $ 15.3 $ 13.2 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Foreign currency Other assets $ 3.1 $ 2.3 Other liabilities $ 1.8 $ 4.2 Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ 3.1 $ 2.3 $ 1.8 $ 4.2 Total derivatives $ 8.5 $ 10.8 $ 17.1 $ 17.4 Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities The Company has elected to present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; however, derivatives associated with the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts that are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement would have resulted in an offset of $ 2.6 million and $ 7.3 million to both derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This includes the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable. The Company’s rights under these agreements generally allow for transactions to be settled on a net basis, including upon early termination, which could occur upon the counterparty’s default, a change in control, or other conditions. Income Statement Cash Flow Hedges The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCL in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, amounts are recognized in income when the related forecasted transaction affects earnings. The following table presents the pre-tax amount of unrealized gains/(losses) recognized in other comprehensive income from cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Foreign currency derivatives (a) $ ( 17.8 ) $ 14.7 $ ( 2.6 ) $ 9.0 (a) Gains/(losses) of $ 1.7 million and $( 0.8 ) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively, and $ 0.6 million and $ 1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, represent amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and recognized in other comprehensive income, for which an amortization approach is applied. The following table presents the location and amounts of pre-tax net gains/(losses) from cash flow hedging relationships recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions): Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Revenues Interest Expense Revenues Interest Expense Total amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded $ 1,036.0 $ ( 32.2 ) $ 1,097.8 $ ( 27.0 ) Gain/(loss) on cash flow hedges: Foreign currency derivatives: Gains/(losses) reclassified from AOCL into earnings ( 2.2 ) — 4.6 — Amount excluded from effectiveness testing recognized in earnings based on an amortization approach 1.6 — 1.6 — Interest rate derivatives: Gains/(losses) reclassified from AOCL into earnings — — — 0.1 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Revenues Interest Expense Revenues Interest Expense Total amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded $ 3,151.5 $ ( 89.4 ) $ 3,304.7 $ ( 79.0 ) Gain/(loss) on cash flow hedges: Foreign currency derivatives: Gains reclassified from AOCL into earnings 1.8 — 20.6 — Amount excluded from effectiveness testing recognized in earnings based on an amortization approach 4.8 — 4.9 — Interest rate derivatives: Gains/(losses) reclassified from AOCL into earnings — 0.1 — 0.1 Undesignated Hedges The following table presents the location and amount of pre-tax net gains/(losses) from undesignated hedges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Derivatives Location 2024 2023 2024 2023 Foreign currency derivatives (a) Selling, general, and administrative $ ( 22.5 ) $ 22.5 $ 5.1 $ 30.5 (a) The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations as well as certain foreign currency denominated positions. Foreign exchange gains/(losses) on settlement assets and obligations, cash balances, and other assets and liabilities, not including amounts related to derivative activity as displayed above and included in Selling, general, and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were $ 25.1 million and $( 18.4 ) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively, and $( 5.3 ) million and $( 21.3 ) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. All cash flows associated with derivatives are included in Cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Based on September 30, 2024 foreign exchange rates, an accumulated other comprehensive pre-tax loss of $ 10.7 million related to the foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified into Revenues within the next 12 months. |

The commercial paper notes may have maturities of up to 397 days from date of issuance. The Company’s commercial paper borrowings as of September 30, 2024 had a weighted-average annual interest rate of approximately 5.1 % and a weighted-average term of approximately 2 days. (b) The difference between the stated interest rate and the effective interest rate is not significant. (c) As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s weighted-average effective rate on total borrowings was approximately 4.0 % . The following summarizes the Company’s maturities of its notes at par value as of September 30, 2024 (in millions): Due within 1 year $ 500.0 Due after 1 year through 2 years 600.0 Due after 2 years through 3 years — Due after 3 years through 4 years — Due after 4 years through 5 years — Due after 5 years 1,050.0 Total $ 2,150.0 The Company’s obligations with respect to its outstanding borrowings, as described above, rank equally. Term Loan Facility On June 25, 2024, the Company entered into a delayed draw term loan credit agreement providing for an unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $ 800.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Company has until December 15, 2024 to draw upon the Term Loan Facility, which matures on the third anniversary of the initial funding date. The Company has the option to increase the commitments under the Term Loan Facility by an amount such that the commitments do not exceed $ 1.0 billion in the aggregate (after giving effect to any such increases). Any such increases would be subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing or new lenders under the Term Loan Facility. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the Term Loan Facility to refinance the Company’s issued and outstanding 2.850 % notes due January 2025, to reduce commercial paper balances, and for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan Facility contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company's ability to sell or transfer assets or merge or consolidate with another company, grant certain types of security interests, incur certain types of liens, impose restrictions on subsidiary dividends, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, incur certain subsidiary level indebtedness, or use proceeds in violation of anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws. The Term Loan Facility requires the Company to maintain a consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization interest coverage ratio of not less than 3 :1 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. The Term Loan Facility also contains customary representations, warranties and events of default. Generally, interest under the Term Loan Facility will be calculated using either (i) a rate per annum equal to an adjusted base rate for such interest period or (ii) a rate per annum equal to an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate for such interest period. A ticking fee on the undrawn amount of the Term Loan Facility is also payable quarterly. Both the interest rate margin and ticking fee are based on certain of the Company's credit ratings and will increase or decrease in the event of certain upgrades or downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 12. Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rates on pre-tax income were ( 95.2 )% and 16.3 % for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and ( 16.5 )% and 17.1 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to a settlement of the IRS examination of the Company’s 2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns discussed below, partially offset by the effects of the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business in the prior period s. Unrecognized tax benefits are reflected in Income taxes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $ 71.5 million and $ 309.7 million, respectively, including interest and penalties. The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and various non-United States jurisdictions. The conclusion of the examination of the Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns for 2017 and 2018 resulted in both agreed and unagreed adjustments. The agreed adjustments have been reflected in the Company’s financial statements, and the Company settled certain of the unagreed adjustments during the third quarter of 2024, which resulted in a tax benefit of $ 137.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company is contesting the one remaining unagreed adjustment at the IRS Appeals level and has fully reserved for this unagreed adjustment. The statute of limitations for the U.S. federal returns for 2017 and 2018 has been extended to June 30, 2025. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns since 2020 are also eligible to be examined. |

Segments

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segments | 14. Segments As further described in Note 1, the Company has classified its business into the following segments: Consumer Money Transfer and Consumer Services. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in allocating resources and assessing performance. The Consumer Money Transfer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers. The segment includes five geographic regions whose functions are primarily related to generating, managing, and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. The Company includes Branded Digital transactions in its regions. By means of common processes and systems, these regions, including Branded Digital, create one interconnected global network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one Consumer Money Transfer business and one operating segment. The Consumer Services segment includes the Company’s bill payment services which facilitate payments for consumers, businesses, and other organizations, as well as the Company’s money order services, retail foreign exchange services, prepaid cards, lending partnerships, digital wallets, and media network. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business, and the final closing for this transaction occurred on July 1, 2023. Accordingly, the Company no longer reports Business Solutions revenues and operating expenses after July 1, 2023. Corporate costs, including overhead expenses, are allocated to the segments primarily based on a percentage of the segments’ revenue compared to total revenue. The following table presents the Company’s segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Revenues: Consumer Money Transfer $ 932.2 $ 1,019.0 $ 2,859.2 $ 3,029.5 Consumer Services 103.8 78.8 292.3 245.5 Business Solutions (a) — — — 29.7 Total consolidated revenues $ 1,036.0 $ 1,097.8 $ 3,151.5 $ 3,304.7 Segment operating income: Consumer Money Transfer $ 188.3 $ 193.4 $ 567.4 $ 601.9 Consumer Services 9.2 21.6 38.9 72.1 Business Solutions (a) — — — 3.7 Total segment operating income 197.5 215.0 606.3 677.7 Redeployment program costs (b) ( 18.0 ) ( 4.1 ) ( 41.4 ) ( 19.5 ) Acquisition, separation, and integration costs (c) ( 1.7 ) — ( 2.3 ) — Amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets (d) ( 0.2 ) — ( 2.2 ) — Russia asset impairments and termination costs (e) ( 12.7 ) — ( 12.7 ) — Total consolidated operating income $ 164.9 $ 210.9 $ 547.7 $ 658.2 (a) On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business. The sale was completed with the final closing on July 1, 2023. (b) Represented severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program which redeployed expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy, as previously announced in October 2022. Expenses incurred under the program also included non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses were not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses were therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. (c) Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions, and integration costs directly related to the Company’s acquisitions. Beginning in 2024, the Company changed its segment reporting methodology to no longer allocate these costs to its segments. These costs were previously allocated entirely to Consumer Services while it was called Other, and the amounts included in the segment were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The expenses are no longer included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. (d) Represents the incremental non-cash amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets in connection with recent business acquisitions. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. (e) Represents asset impairments related to the Company's assets in Russia and the costs associated with operating the Russian entity. While the Company had previously made a decision to suspend its operations in Russia, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company decided to pursue either liquidating or selling the Russian assets, which triggered a review of the carrying value of these assets. These costs are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for all periods presented. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of September 30, 2024 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding segment reporting. The standard requires that public entities expand reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2024 annual reporting and effective January 1, 2025 for its interim reporting, using a retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s disclosures and is in the process of preparing to comply with the new disclosure requirements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding income tax disclosures. The standard requires that public entities disclose more consistent and detailed categories in their statutory to effective income tax rate reconciliations and further disaggregate income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company is required to adopt the new standard for its 2025 annual reporting, using a prospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’ s disclosures. |
Earnings Per Share | The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect. |
Investment Securities | Investment Securities Investment securities included in Settlement assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed-rate term notes and variable-rate demand notes. Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through 2052 . These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification. Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity, and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis. |
Foreign Currency - Derivatives | Foreign Currency Derivatives The Company’s policy is to use longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year , to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of September 30, 2024 , these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year . These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation and thus time value is excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the excluded components is amortized into Revenues within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to one month , to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges. |
Foreign Currency - Business Solutions | Business Solutions Operations Prior to the final closing of the Business Solutions sale in 2023, the derivatives written related to this business were part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily included spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions included in Revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $ 27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 . None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations were designated as accounting hedges. |

The sale was completed with the final closing on July 1, 2023. (b) Represented severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program which redeployed expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy, as previously announced in October 2022. Expenses incurred under the program also included non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses were not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses were therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. (c) Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions, and integration costs directly related to the Company’s acquisitions. Beginning in 2024, the Company changed its segment reporting methodology to no longer allocate these costs to its segments. These costs were previously allocated entirely to Consumer Services while it was called Other, and the amounts included in the segment were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The expenses are no longer included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. (d) Represents the incremental non-cash amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets in connection with recent business acquisitions. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. (e) Represents asset impairments related to the Company's assets in Russia and the costs associated with operating the Russian entity. While the Company had previously made a decision to suspend its operations in Russia, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company decided to pursue either liquidating or selling the Russian assets, which triggered a review of the carrying value of these assets. These costs are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. |

[1] On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business. The sale was completed with the final closing on July 1, 2023. Represented severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program which redeployed expenses in its cost base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy, as previously announced in October 2022. Expenses incurred under the program also included non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment. The expenses were not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses were therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions, and integration costs directly related to the Company’s acquisitions. Beginning in 2024, the Company changed its segment reporting methodology to no longer allocate these costs to its segments. These costs were previously allocated entirely to Consumer Services while it was called Other, and the amounts included in the segment were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The expenses are no longer included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. Represents the incremental non-cash amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets in connection with recent business acquisitions. The expenses are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. These expenses are therefore excluded from the Company's segment operating income results. Represents asset impairments related to the Company's assets in Russia and the costs associated with operating the Russian entity. While the Company had previously made a decision to suspend its operations in Russia, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company decided to pursue either liquidating or selling the Russian assets, which triggered a review of the carrying value of these assets. These costs are not included in the measurement of segment operating income provided to the CODM for purposes of performance assessment and resource allocation. |
