Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Consolidated Financial Statement Components The following is a summary of significant accounting policies we follow in preparing our consolidated financial statements, as well as a description of significant components of our consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We base these estimates on information available to us as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Certain estimates, such as credit losses, payment rates, costs of funds, discount rates and the yields earned on credit card receivables, significantly affect the reported amount (and changes thereon) of our Loans, interest and fees receivables, at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income. Additionally, estimates of credit losses have a significant effect on loans, interest and fees receivable, net, as shown on our consolidated balance sheets, as well as on the provision for losses on loans, interest and fees receivable within our consolidated statements of income. We have eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions for financial reporting purposes. Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market investments and overnight deposits.

January 1, 2022 Under the fair value option, direct loan origination fees (such as annual and merchant fees) are taken into income when billed to the consumer or upon loan acquisition and direct loan origination costs are expensed in the period incurred. The Company estimates the fair value of the loans using a discounted cash flow model, which considers various unobservable inputs such as remaining cumulative charge-offs, remaining cumulative prepayments, average life and discount rate. The Company re-evaluates the fair value of loans receivable at the close of each measurement period. Changes in the fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable are recorded as a component of “Changes in fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at fair value” in the consolidated statements of income in the period of the fair value changes. Changes in the fair value of loans, interest and fees receivable recorded at fair value include the impact of current period charge-offs associated with these receivables. Further details concerning our loans, interest and fees receivable held at fair value are presented within Note 6, Loans, Interest and Fees Receivable, Gross. three six June 30, 2023 2022, We show both an allowance for uncollectible loans, interest and fees receivable and for unearned fees (or “deferred revenue”) for our loans, interest and fees receivable that are not may may Certain of our loans, interest and fees receivable also contain components of deferred revenue related to loan discounts on the purchase of our auto finance receivables.
