SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2018, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2017 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future interim periods. | Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board's Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 25, 2019. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Emerging growth company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. |
Use of Estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. | Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods.

Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. | Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. |
Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account | | Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account At December 31, 2017, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills. |
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption | Common stock subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company’s common stock featured certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 16,104,738 and 16,112,706 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. | Common stock subject to possible redemption The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2017, 16,112,706 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. |
Offering Costs | Offering costs Offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $12,912,088 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. | Offering costs Offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $12,912,088 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. |
Net Loss Per Common Share | Net income (loss) per common share Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at June 30, 2018 and 2017 have been excluded from the calculation of basic income (loss) per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the earnings on the assets held in the trust account (the “Trust Account”). The Company has not considered the effect of warrants to purchase 8,960,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants was contingent upon the occurrence of future events, including the consummation of a Business Combination. Diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 includes the effect of 21,321,280 shares of common stock. | Net loss per common share The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding shares of common stock forfeited by certain of the Company’s Initial Shareholders on January 25, 2017. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2017 have been excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants to purchase 8,960,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods presented. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. | Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. |
Income Taxes | Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state, and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions, and compliance with federal, state, and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. | Income taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. | Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | | |
Reclassifications | | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income to conform to current-year reporting classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on net (loss) income, comprehensive (loss) income or stockholder’s equity. |
Use of Estimates | | Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | | Cash Cash is comprised of deposits in U.S. and foreign banks. The Company recognizes interest income from its cash deposits on an accrual basis. The Company considers cash equivalents to be short term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The amount that exceeded the federally insured limits totaled $31,739,808 at December 31, 2017 of the Successor period and $22,322,423 at December 31, 2016 of the Predecessor period. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts. In addition, the Company maintains various bank accounts in Mexico and Guatemala, which are not insured. The Company has not incurred any losses on these uninsured foreign bank accounts, and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk regarding these accounts. Cash balances were as follows at December 31: Successor Company 2017 Predecessor Company 2016 Cash in U.S. dollars in U.S. banks $ 55,375,471 $ 34,437,494 Cash in foreign banks and foreign currency 3,774,454 3,159,019 Petty cash 5,693 4,583 $ 59,155,618 $ 37,601,096 |
Revenue Recognition | | Revenue Reco g nition Revenues for wire transfer and money order fees are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. These fees are recognized on a gross basis equal to the full amount of the fee charged to the customer as the Company is the primary obligor and has latitude in establishing price. Foreign exchange revenue, which represents the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company and the rate realized, is recognized upon the disbursement of U.S. dollars to the foreign bank. Other income primarily represents revenues for technology services provided to the independent network of agents who utilize the Company’s technology in processing transactions. Revenues for these transactions are recorded when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered and collection is reasonably assured. |
Business Combinations | | Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. The valuation and allocation processes rely on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives updated information, including valuations and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded upon initiation of the wire transfer and are typically due to the Company within five days. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. When preparing these estimates, management considers a number of factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts policy periodically, reflecting current risks and changes in industry conditions and when necessary, will increase its allowance for doubtful accounts and recognize a provision to bad debt expense, included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. |
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets | | Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets Prepaid wires represent funds that are required at certain payer agent locations in advance of a transaction, which are typically utilized within a few days. Other prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses, notes receivable (see Note 4), and restricted cash. Interest income on notes receivable is recognized on a cash basis due to uncertainty on receiving the interest payments. The restricted cash is maintained by a United States Bank and is cash collateral for an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $639,662 issued as collateral for the operating lease of the Company’s headquarters and recorded in other assets at December 31, 2017 of the Successor period and December 31, 2016 of the Predecessor period, in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Property and Equipment | | Propert and Eq pment Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, or the allocated fair value in purchase accounting, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The costs of additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and the expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred as part of other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation of such assets are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the current period. The Company capitalizes costs incurred for the development of internal use computer software, which are depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | | Goodwill and Other Intan ible Assets Goodwill and other intangible assets result primarily from business combination acquisitions, including the Stella Point acquisition discussed in Note 3. Other intangible assets include trade name, agent relationships, developed technology and other intangibles, all with finite lives. Upon the acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including the trade name and other intangibles, with any remaining purchase price recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, rather, impairment tests are conducted on an annual basis, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. A qualitative assessment of goodwill was performed in 2017 subsequent to the Stella Point acquisition on February 1, 2017 (see Note 3). Qualitative assessment includes consideration of the economic, industry and market conditions in addition to the overall financial performance of the Company and these assets. Based on the results of assessment, no indicators of impairment were noted. Accordingly, no further impairment testing was completed, and no impairment charges related to goodwill were recognized during the Successor period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The Company’s trade name, agent relationships and developed technology are currently amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years. Refer to Note 1 for a discussion of the restatement of prior periods related to the correction of an error for the amortization of agent relationships. The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as described below in “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | | Im pairment of Lon -Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management’s estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. There were no impairment indicators noted for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements for long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets. |
Debt Issuance Costs | | Debt Issuance Costs During August 2017, the Company capitalized costs totaling $4,682,830 for the Successor period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 relating to its debt issuance (see Note 8) and is amortizing these costs over the life of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. The Company incurred and capitalized debt issuance costs of $2,315,992 and $2,789,288 for the Predecessor years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were no debt issuance costs incurred for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2017 through January 31, 2017. The unamortized portion of debt issuance costs is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to the related debt and totaled $4,347,602 at December 31, 2017 for the Successor period and $1,967,380 at December 31, 2016 for the Predecessor period. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and amounts to $335,221 for the Successor period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, and $39,298, $2,670,976 and $741,450 for the Predecessor periods from January 1, 2017 through January 31, 2017 and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs includes the write off of debt issuance costs associated with previous debt issuance of $2,322,372 and $274,534 for the Predecessor years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Debt issuance costs of $1,928,089 related to debt that was assumed by the Successor Company in connection with the Stella Point acquisition (see Note 3) was written off to goodwill at the February 1, 2017 acquisition date. |
Advertising Costs | | Advertisin Costs Advertising costs are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $1,653,596 for the Successor period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, and $96,404, $1,124,210 and $720,030 for the Predecessor periods from January 1, 2017 through January 31, 2017 and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
Income Taxes | | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require, among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of said benefits is more likely than not. The Company accounts for tax contingencies by assessing all material positions, including all significant uncertain positions, for all tax years that are open to assessment or challenge under tax statutes. Those positions that have only timing consequences are separately analyzed based on the recognition and measurement model provided in the tax guidance. As required by the uncertain tax position guidance, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the positions following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2011. The Company applies the uncertain tax position guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company’s policy is to classify interest accrued as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company does not have any material uncertain tax positions. Foreign subsidiaries of the Company are subject to taxes by local tax authorities. |
Foreign Currency Translation | | Forei n Currenc Translation The financial statements and transactions of the Company’s foreign operations are maintained in their functional currency, which is other than the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. Translation adjustments, which result from the process of translating the financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations into U.S. dollars, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. (Losses) or gains from foreign currency transactions amounted to $(17,044) for the Successor period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, and $11,608, $1,055 and $20,948 for the Predecessor periods from January 1, 2017 through January 31, 2017 and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. |
Derivatives Instruments | | Derivative Instruments The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk associated with currency fluctuations on settlement of wire transfers in foreign currencies. The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts are denominated in Mexican pesos and Guatemalan quetzals and are for a maximum of five days. The Company’s accounting policy has been not to record the fair value of these contracts in the consolidated balance sheets as management has determined that the amounts are insignificant. Losses or gains from forward foreign exchange contract transactions are recorded in foreign exchange revenue but the amounts are insignificant for the periods presented. The Company had open forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts of approximately $8,200,000 and $8,100,000 at December 31, 2017 of the Successor period and $1,500,000 and $6,850,000 at December 31, 2016 of the Predecessor period for Mexico and Guatemala, respectively. |
Comprehensive (Loss) Income | | Comprehensive Loss Income Comprehensive (loss) income consists of net income (loss) and the foreign currency translation adjustment and is presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. |
Share-Based Compensation | | Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its share-based employee compensation expense related to incentive units, restricted stock grants and stock options under generally accepted accounting principles, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation costs for all equity-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. See Note 12 for further discussion related to share-based compensation. |
Segments | | Segments The Company’s business is organized around one reportable segment that provides money transmittal services between the USA and Latin America. This is based on the objectives of the business and how our chief operating decision maker, the CEO and President, monitors operating performance and allocates resources. |
