Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Basis of Presentation	Business and Basis of Presentation Springleaf Finance Corporation is referred to in this report as “SFC” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “Springleaf,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” is a wholly owned subsidiary of Springleaf Finance, Inc.(“SFI”). SFI is a wholly owned subsidiary of OneMain Holdings, Inc. (“OMH”). At December 31, 2017, prior to the Apollo-Värde and AIG Share Sale transactions described below, Springleaf Financial Holdings LLC (“SFH”), owned approximately 44% of OMH’s common stock. SFH was owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”). At September 30, 2018 , an investor group led by funds managed by Apollo and Värde (the “Apollo-Värde Group”) owned approximately 40.5% of OMH’s common stock. SFC and its subsidiaries engage in the consumer finance and insurance businesses. On June 22, 2018, SFI entered into a contribution agreement with OMH, whereby OMH contributed all of the common interests of Independence Holdings, LLC (“Independence”) to SFI. Immediately thereafter, SFI entered into a separate contribution agreement with SFC, pursuant to which SFI contributed all of the common interests of Independence to SFC. As a result of the contribution from SFI to SFC, Independence became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of SFC on June 22, 2018. Apollo-Värde Transaction On January 3, 2018, the Apollo-Värde Group entered into a share purchase agreement with SFH and OMH to acquire from SFH 54,937,500 shares of OMH’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price per share of $26.00 , representing the entire holdings of OMH’s common stock beneficially owned by Fortress (the “Share Purchase Agreement”). This transaction (the “Apollo-Värde Transaction”) closed on June 25, 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 1.4 billion in cash. The Share Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1, to OMH’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 4, 2018. As provided for in the Share Purchase Agreement, in accordance with the Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, the Apollo-Värde Group has the ability to designate six ( 6 ) of the nine ( 9 ) directors. Upon closing of the Apollo-Värde Transaction, OMH entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, the terms of which are described in OMH’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 25, 2018. As disclosed in Note 22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018, certain executives of the Company had previously been granted incentive units that only provide benefits (in the form of distributions) if SFH makes distributions to one or more of its common members that exceed specified amounts. In connection with the Apollo-Värde Transaction, certain executive officers who are holders of SFH incentive units received a distribution of approximately $106 million in the aggregate from SFH as a result of their ownership interests in SFH. Although the distribution was not made by the Company or its subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC Topic 710, Compensation-General , we recorded non-cash incentive compensation expense of approximately $106 million , with an equal and offsetting increase to additional paid-in-capital. The impact to the Company was non-cash, equity neutral and not tax deductible. AIG Share Sale Transaction On February 21, 2018, OMH entered into an underwriting agreement among OMH, SFH and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as underwriter in connection with the sale by SFH of 4,179,678 shares of its common stock. These shares were beneficially owned by AIG Capital Corporation (“AIG”), a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc., and represented the entire holdings of OMH’s stock beneficially owned by AIG. In connection with this sale of OMH’s common stock by SFH, certain executive officers who are holders of SFH incentive units, as described above, received a distribution of approximately $4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Consistent with the accounting for distribution from the Apollo-Värde Transaction described above, the Company recognized non-cash incentive compensation expense of approximately $4 million , with an equal and offsetting increase to additional paid-in-capital. Again, the impact to the Company was non-cash, equity neutral and not tax deductible. BASIS OF PRESENTATION We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using GAAP. These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements as revised to reflect the retrospective application of the contribution of Independence but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SFC, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned), and VIEs in which we hold a controlling financial interest and for which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary as of the financial statement date. We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. To conform to the 2018 presentation, we have reclassified certain items in prior periods of our condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with SFC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our revised financial statement schedules included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018. We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting, except for the new accounting pronouncements subsequently adopted and disclosed in Note 3 below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED Revenue Recognition In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. Management has reviewed this update and other ASUs that were subsequently issued to further clarify the implementation guidance outlined in ASU 2014-09. The Company’s implementation efforts included the identification of revenue streams that are within the scope of the new guidance and the review of related contracts with customers to determine their effect on certain non-interest income items presented in our consolidated statements of operations and the additional presentation disclosures required. We concluded that substantially all of the Company’s revenues are generated from activities that are outside the scope of this ASU. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments In January of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments. The update requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income. This ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and assumptions to estimate fair value for financial instruments, requires the use of the exit price for disclosure purposes, requires the change in liability due to a change in credit risk to be presented in other comprehensive income for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option, requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of asset (securities and loans), and clarifies the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. In February of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall , which made technical corrections and improvements to the codification, specifically related to ASU 2016-01. The Company has adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2018 using a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) shall be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of this update. We adopted all other amendments of these ASUs as of January 1, 2018 and presented this change on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. We concluded that these ASUs do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs , which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium from the adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument to the earliest call date. The amendments in this ASU become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. As the Company’s existing accounting policy was in accordance with the amendments of this ASU, we elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that it does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows In August of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes In October of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassifications of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits the reclassification of stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings from the passage of the Tax Act. This update requires additional disclosures describing the nature of the stranded tax effects. The amendments within this ASU become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt as of April 1, 2018 and reclassified $3 million of stranded tax effects resulting in a decrease to retained earnings and an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income. Compensation and Benefits In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , to improve the presentation of the net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit costs. It requires that a company present the service cost component separately from other components of net benefit cost on the income statement. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting , which provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires an entity to apply modification accounting. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Goodwill Impairment In January of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the impairment testing process. The amendments in this ASU will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020. We elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that it does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED Leases In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments on leases with terms greater than 12 months and to disclose information related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including various qualitative and quantitative requirements. Management has reviewed this update and other ASUs that were subsequently issued to further clarify the implementation guidance outlined in ASU 2016-02. The amendments in this ASU become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. The Company’s cross-functional implementation team continues to make progress in line with the established project plan to ensure we comply with all updates from this ASU at the time of adoption. We are currently in the process of implementing a new leasing system that will allow us to better account for the leases in accordance with the new guidance. We are in the final phase of assessing new system updates to ensure both qualitative and quantitative data requirements will be met at the time of adoption. The Company’s leases primarily consist of leased office space, automobiles and information technology equipment. At December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $167 million of minimum lease commitments from these operating leases (refer to Note 20 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018). The adoption of this ASU will result in an increase in our reported assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets due to the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability, and we are in the process of quantifying the expected impact. In July of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements , which allows for a transition option to adopt the standard on the date of initial application as opposed to the modified retrospective approach. We plan to make the election to adopt the standard using this transition relief. Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses In June of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which significantly changes the way that entities will be required to measure credit losses. The new standard requires that the estimated credit loss be based upon an “expected credit loss” approach rather than the “incurred loss” approach currently required. The new approach will require entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets over their expected lives based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of collectability. It is anticipated that the expected credit loss model will require earlier recognition of credit losses than the incurred loss approach. Therefore, we would expect ongoing changes in the allowance for finance receivable losses will be driven primarily by the nature and growth of the Company’s loan portfolio and the economic environment at that time. The ASU requires that credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis; however, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price of the financial asset rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in earnings. Interest income should be recognized based on the effective rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price attributable to expected credit losses at acquisition. The ASU also requires companies to record allowances for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities rather than write-downs of such assets. In addition, the ASU requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide information about the allowance and the significant factors that influenced management’s estimate of the allowance. The ASU will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. The Company’s cross-functional implementation team continues to make progress in line with the established project plan to ensure we comply with all updates from this ASU at the time of adoption. We continue to refine the development of an acceptable model to estimate the expected credit losses in accordance with our model governance policies. After the model has been subject to a parallel testing phase in 2019, the Company will provide further disclosure regarding the estimated impact on our allowance for finance receivable losses. In addition to the development of the model, we are assessing the additional disclosure requirements from this update and the impact the adoption may have on any available-for-sale securities held by the Company. We believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements through an increase to the allowance for finance receivable losses and a corresponding one-time cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Insurance In August of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services - Insurance: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts , which provides targeted improvements to Topic 944 for the assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts; measurement of market risk benefits; amortization of deferred acquisition costs; and enhanced disclosures. The amendments in this ASU become effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2021. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that any other accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , but not yet effective, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures, if adopted.

Finance Receivables

Finance Receivables	9 Months Ended

Receivables [Abstract]
Finance Receivables	Finance Receivables Our finance receivables consist of personal loans and, prior to September 30, 2018, also included other receivables as defined below: • Personal loans — are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured, typically non-revolving with a fixed-rate and a fixed, original term of three to six years . • Other receivables — consist of our loan portfolios in a liquidating status. We ceased originating real estate loans in 2012 and purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts (“retail sales finance portfolio”) in 2013. We continue to service or sub-service the liquidating real estate loans and retail sales contracts and will provide revolving retail sales financing services on our revolving retail accounts. Beginning in 2018, we combined real estate loans and retail sales finance portfolio into “Other Receivables.” Previously, we presented real estate loans and retail sales finance portfolio as distinct receivable types. In order to conform to this new alignment, we have revised our prior period finance receivable disclosures. On September 30, 2018, we transferred our real estate loans previously classified as Other Receivables from held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. See Notes 5 and 6 included in this report for additional information related to this transfer. Components of net finance receivables held for investment by type were as follows: (dollars in millions) Personal Other Receivables Total September 30, 2018 Gross receivables (a)(b) $ 15,536 $ — $ 15,536 Unearned points and fees (192 ) — (192 ) Accrued finance charges 232 — 232 Deferred origination costs 131 — 131 Total $ 15,707 $ — $ 15,707 December 31, 2017 Gross receivables (a)(b) $ 14,617 $ 133 $ 14,750 Unearned points and fees (168 ) — (168 ) Accrued finance charges 210 1 211 Deferred origination costs 116 — 116 Total $ 14,775 $ 134 $ 14,909 (a) Gross receivables are defined as follows: • Finance receivables purchased as a performing receivable — gross finance receivables equal the UPB and the remaining unearned discount, net of premium established at the time of purchase to reflect the finance receivable balance at its initial fair value; • Finance receivables originated subsequent to the OneMain Acquisition and the Fortress Acquisition — gross finance receivables equal the UPB; • Purchased credit impaired finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts; and • TDR finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the UPB and, if applicable, the remaining unearned premium, net of discount established at the time of purchase if previously purchased as a performing receivable. (b) As of January 1, 2018, we have reclassified unearned finance charges to gross receivables. To conform to this presentation, we have reclassified the prior period. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , unused lines of credit extended to customers by the Company were immaterial . CREDIT QUALITY INDICATOR We consider the value and concentration of secured loans and the delinquency status of our finance receivables as our primary credit quality indicators. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , 46% and 43% of our personal loans were secured by titled collateral, respectively. We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. When finance receivables are 60 days contractually past due, we consider these accounts to be at an increased risk for loss and we transfer collection of these accounts to our centralized operations. At 90 days or more contractually past due, we consider our finance receivables to be nonperforming. The following is a summary of net finance receivables held for investment by type and by number of days delinquent: (dollars in millions) Personal Other Receivables Total September 30, 2018 Performing Current $ 15,025 $ — $ 15,025 30-59 days past due 213 — 213 60-89 days past due 151 — 151 Total performing 15,389 — 15,389 Nonperforming 90-179 days past due 312 — 312 180 days or more past due 6 — 6 Total nonperforming 318 — 318 Total $ 15,707 $ — $ 15,707 December 31, 2017 Performing Current $ 14,081 $ 104 $ 14,185 30-59 days past due 202 8 210 60-89 days past due 156 3 159 Total performing 14,439 115 14,554 Nonperforming 90-179 days past due 330 4 334 180 days or more past due 6 15 21 Total nonperforming 336 19 355 Total $ 14,775 $ 134 $ 14,909 PURCHASED CREDIT IMPAIRED FINANCE RECEIVABLES Our purchased credit impaired finance receivables consist of receivables purchased in connection with the OneMain Acquisition and the Fortress Acquisition. We report the carrying amount (which initially was the fair value) of our purchased credit impaired finance receivables in net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses or in finance receivables held for sale as discussed below. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , finance receivables held for sale totaled $207 million and $132 million , respectively, which include purchased credit impaired finance receivables, as well as TDR finance receivables. Therefore, we are presenting the financial information for our purchased credit impaired finance receivables and TDR finance receivables combined for finance receivables held for investment and finance receivables held for sale in the tables below. See Note 6 for further information on our finance receivables held for sale. Information regarding our purchased credit impaired finance receivables held for investment and held for sale were as follows: (dollars in millions) September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 OM Loans Carrying amount, net of allowance $ 107 $ 176 Outstanding balance (a) 156 243 Allowance for purchased credit impaired finance receivable losses — 6 FA Loans (b) Carrying amount, net of allowance $ 51 $ 57 Outstanding balance (a) 87 94 Allowance for purchased credit impaired finance receivable losses — 9 (a) Outstanding balance is defined as UPB of the loans with a net carrying amount.

Receivables Held-for-sale [Abstract]
Finance Receivables Held for Sale	Finance Receivables Held for Sale We reported finance receivables held for sale of $207 million at September 30, 2018 and $132 million at December 31, 2017 , which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and consist entirely of real estate loans. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the fair value of our finance receivables held for sale exceeded the cost. We used the aggregate basis to determine the lower of cost or fair value of finance receivables held for sale. On September 30, 2018, we transferred $88 million of real estate loans (net of allowance for finance receivable losses) from held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. We did not have any other material transfers to or from finance receivables held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

We do not consider the unrealized losses to be credit-related, as these unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. Additionally, at September 30, 2018 , we had no plans to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, and we believe it is more likely than not that we would not be required to sell such investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost. We continue to monitor unrealized loss positions for potential impairments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, other-than-temporary impairment credit losses we recognized in investment revenues were immaterial. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , there were no material additions or reductions in the cumulative amount of credit losses (recognized in earnings) on other-than-temporarily impaired available-for-sale securities. The proceeds of available-for-sale securities sold or redeemed and the resulting net realized gains were as follows: (dollars in millions) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Proceeds from sales and redemptions $ 118 $ 157 $ 258 $ 437 Realized gains $ 1 $ 4 $ 1 $ 13 Realized losses (1 ) — (1 ) (1 ) Net realized gains (losses) $ — $ 4 $ — $ 12 Contractual maturities of fixed-maturity available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2018 were as follows: (dollars in millions) Fair Value Amortized Cost Fixed maturities, excluding mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and collateralized securities: Due in 1 year or less $ 173 $ 174 Due after 1 year through 5 years 555 563 Due after 5 years through 10 years 384 396 Due after 10 years 210 217 Mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and collateralized securities 289 294 Total $ 1,611 $ 1,644 Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities since issuers and borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. We may sell investment securities before maturity for general corporate and working capital purposes and to achieve certain investment strategies. The fair value of securities on deposit with third parties totaled $507 million and $537 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. OTHER SECURITIES The fair value of other securities by type was as follows: (dollars in millions) September 30, December 31, Fixed maturity other securities: Bonds Non-U.S. government and government sponsored entities $ 1 $ 1 Corporate debt 46 68 Mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and collateralized: RMBS 1 1 CDO/ABS 3 4 Total bonds 51 74 Preferred stock * 20 20 Common stock * 24 23 Other long-term investments 1 1 Total $ 96 $ 118 * The Company employs an income equity strategy targeting investments in stocks with strong current dividend yields. Stocks included have a history of stable or increasing dividend payments. Net unrealized gains and losses on other securities held at September 30, 2018 and 2017 were immaterial for the three and nine months then ended. Net realized gains and losses on other securities sold or redeemed during the 2018 and 2017 periods were also immaterial for the three and nine months then ended. We report these gains and losses in investment revenues.

The interest rate on the UPB of the Junior Subordinated Debenture consists of a variable floating rate (determined quarterly) equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 1.75% , or 4.09% as of September 30, 2018 . (b) Securitizations have a stated maturity date but are not included in the above maturities by period due to their variable monthly repayments, which may result in pay-off prior to the stated maturity date. At September 30, 2018 , there were no amounts drawn under our revolving conduit facilities. See Note 11 for further information on our long-term debt associated with securitizations and revolving conduit facilities. (c) Debt issuance costs are reported as a direct deduction from long-term debt, with the exception of debt issuance costs associated with our revolving conduit facilities, which totaled $25 million at September 30, 2018 and are reported in other assets. SFC’S OFFERINGS OF 7.125% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2026 SFC issued a total of $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “ 7.125% SFC Notes”) under the SFC Senior Notes Indentures, pursuant to which OMH provided a guarantee of the 7.125% SFC Notes on an unsecured basis. SFC issued $900 million of the 7.125% SFC Notes on May 11, 2018 and $700 million of the 7.125% SFC Notes on August 10, 2018. SFC used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem the remaining $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the OMFH 7.25% Senior Notes due 2021 and will use the remaining proceeds for other general corporate purposes, which may include other debt repurchases and repayments. SFC’S OFFERING OF 6.875% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2025 On March 12, 2018, SFC issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “ 6.875% SFC Notes”) under the SFC Senior Notes Indentures, pursuant to which OMH provided a guarantee of the 6.875% SFC Notes on an unsecured basis. SFC used the net proceeds from the sale of the 6.875% SFC Notes for general corporate purposes, which included debt repurchases. The 6.875% and 7.125% SFC Notes are SFC’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of SFC’s other existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes are effectively subordinated to all of SFC’s secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations and structurally subordinated to any existing and future obligations of SFC’s subsidiaries with respect to claims against the assets of such subsidiaries. The notes may be redeemed at any time and from time to time, at the option of SFC, in whole or in part at a “make-whole” redemption price specified in the SFC Senior Notes Indentures. The notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund. GUARANTY AGREEMENTS OMH entered into the SFC Base Indenture and the following SFC supplemental indentures, pursuant to which OMH agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis the payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the following notes: Guarantee Agreement Date Entered SFC Supplemental Indentures Interest rate September 30, 2018 Outstanding balance (dollars in millions) 7.125% SFC Notes 5/11/2018 SFC Sixth Supplemental Indenture 7.125% $ 1,600 6.875% SFC Notes 3/12/2018 SFC Fifth Supplemental Indenture 6.875% 1,250 5.625% SFC Notes 12/8/2017 SFC Fourth Supplemental Indenture 5.625% 875 6.125% SFC Notes 5/15/2017 SFC Third Supplemental Indenture 6.125% 1,000 8.25% SFC Notes 4/11/2016 SFC Second Supplemental Indenture 8.25% 1,000 5.25% SFC Notes 12/3/2014 SFC First Supplemental Indenture 5.25% 700 The supplemental indentures listed above contain covenants that, among other things, (i) limit SFC’s ability to create liens on assets and (ii) restrict SFC’s ability to consolidate, merge or sell its assets. The SFC Senior Notes Indentures also provide for events of default which, if any of them were to occur, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the SFC Notes to become, or to be declared, due and payable. We describe our guarantee agreements in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018.

On November 8, 2016, OMH entered into the OMFH Supplemental Indenture, pursuant to which OMH agreed to fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the outstanding OMFH Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the OMFH Indenture.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities CONSOLIDATED VIES As part of our overall funding strategy, we have transferred certain finance receivables to VIEs for asset-backed financing transactions, including securitization and conduit transactions. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and, as a result, we include each VIE’s assets, including any finance receivables securing the VIE’s debt obligations, and related liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and each VIE’s asset-backed debt obligations are accounted for as secured borrowings. See Note 3 and Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018 for more detail regarding VIEs. We parenthetically disclose on our consolidated balance sheets the VIE’s assets that can only be used to settle the VIE’s obligations and liabilities if its creditors have no recourse against the primary beneficiary’s general credit.

The indentures governing our securitization borrowings contain early amortization events and events of default, that, if triggered, may result in the acceleration of the obligation to pay principal and interest on the related asset-backed notes.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We had a net deferred tax asset of $139 million and $137 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 30.7% , compared to 37.8% for the same period in 2017 . The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of discrete tax expense for non-deductible compensation and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the retrospective adjustment of SFC’s financial results arising from SFI’s contribution of Independence to SFC, and differs from the then-applicable federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes. We are currently under examination of our U.S. federal tax return for the years 2014 to 2016 by the IRS. We are also under examination of various states for the years 2011 to 2017. Management believes it has adequately provided for taxes for such years. Our gross unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, totaled $16 million at September 30, 2018 and $15 million at December 31, 2017 . We accrue interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The amount of any change in the balance of uncertain tax liabilities over the next 12 months is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements. On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Act, which contains substantial changes to the Internal Revenue Code effective January 1, 2018, including a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% .

Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies LEGAL CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, we have been named, from time to time, as defendants in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation arising in connection with our activities. Some of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. While we will continue to evaluate legal actions to determine whether a loss is reasonably possible or probable and is reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from pending, threatened or future litigation, investigations, examinations, or other claims. We contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and we can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, we accrue the estimated loss by a charge to income. In many actions, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where loss is reasonably possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss. For certain legal actions, we cannot reasonably estimate such losses, particularly for actions that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek substantial or indeterminate damages. Numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the actions in question, before a loss or additional loss or range of loss or additional loss can be reasonably estimated for any given action. For certain other legal actions, we can estimate reasonably possible losses, additional losses, ranges of loss or ranges of additional loss in excess of amounts accrued, but do not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole. SALES RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS At September 30, 2018 , our reserve for sales recourse obligations totaled $7 million , which primarily related to our real estate loan sales in 2014, with a minimal portion of the reserve related to net charge-off sales of our finance receivables. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , we had no material repurchase activity related to these sales and no material activity related to our sales recourse obligations. At September 30, 2018 , there were no material recourse requests with loss exposure that management believed would not be covered by the reserve. However, we will continue to monitor any repurchase activity in the future and will adjust the reserve accordingly. When recourse losses are reasonably possible or exposure to such losses exists in excess of the liability already accrued, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible recourse losses or range of losses.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information Our segments coincide with how our businesses are managed. At September 30, 2018 , our two segments were Consumer and Insurance and Acquisitions and Servicing. The remaining components (which we refer to as “Other”) consist of our non-originating legacy operations, which include our liquidating real estate loans and our liquidating retail sales finance portfolios. Due to the nature of the OneMain Acquisition and the Fortress Acquisition, we applied purchase accounting. However, we report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Other using the Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves, and acquisition costs to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting (eliminates premiums/discounts on our finance receivables and long-term debt at acquisition, as well as the amortization/accretion in future periods). The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 and Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be expected to be received if an asset were to be sold or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. The accounting policies of our Fair Value Measurements are the same as those disclosed in Note 3 and Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using GAAP. These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements as revised to reflect the retrospective application of the contribution of Independence but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SFC, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned), and VIEs in which we hold a controlling financial interest and for which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary as of the financial statement date. We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. To conform to the 2018 presentation, we have reclassified certain items in prior periods of our condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with SFC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our revised financial statement schedules included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018. We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting, except for the new accounting pronouncements subsequently adopted and disclosed in Note 3 below.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED AND TO BE ADOPTED	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED Revenue Recognition In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. Management has reviewed this update and other ASUs that were subsequently issued to further clarify the implementation guidance outlined in ASU 2014-09. The Company’s implementation efforts included the identification of revenue streams that are within the scope of the new guidance and the review of related contracts with customers to determine their effect on certain non-interest income items presented in our consolidated statements of operations and the additional presentation disclosures required. We concluded that substantially all of the Company’s revenues are generated from activities that are outside the scope of this ASU. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments In January of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments. The update requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income. This ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and assumptions to estimate fair value for financial instruments, requires the use of the exit price for disclosure purposes, requires the change in liability due to a change in credit risk to be presented in other comprehensive income for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option, requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of asset (securities and loans), and clarifies the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. In February of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall , which made technical corrections and improvements to the codification, specifically related to ASU 2016-01. The Company has adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2018 using a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) shall be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of this update. We adopted all other amendments of these ASUs as of January 1, 2018 and presented this change on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. We concluded that these ASUs do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs , which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium from the adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument to the earliest call date. The amendments in this ASU become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. As the Company’s existing accounting policy was in accordance with the amendments of this ASU, we elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that it does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows In August of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes In October of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassifications of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which permits the reclassification of stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings from the passage of the Tax Act. This update requires additional disclosures describing the nature of the stranded tax effects. The amendments within this ASU become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt as of April 1, 2018 and reclassified $3 million of stranded tax effects resulting in a decrease to retained earnings and an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income. Compensation and Benefits In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost , to improve the presentation of the net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit costs. It requires that a company present the service cost component separately from other components of net benefit cost on the income statement. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting , which provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requires an entity to apply modification accounting. We adopted the amendments of this ASU as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that they do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Goodwill Impairment In January of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the impairment testing process. The amendments in this ASU will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020. We elected to early adopt as of January 1, 2018 and concluded that it does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED Leases In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments on leases with terms greater than 12 months and to disclose information related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including various qualitative and quantitative requirements. Management has reviewed this update and other ASUs that were subsequently issued to further clarify the implementation guidance outlined in ASU 2016-02. The amendments in this ASU become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. The Company’s cross-functional implementation team continues to make progress in line with the established project plan to ensure we comply with all updates from this ASU at the time of adoption. We are currently in the process of implementing a new leasing system that will allow us to better account for the leases in accordance with the new guidance. We are in the final phase of assessing new system updates to ensure both qualitative and quantitative data requirements will be met at the time of adoption. The Company’s leases primarily consist of leased office space, automobiles and information technology equipment. At December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $167 million of minimum lease commitments from these operating leases (refer to Note 20 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A Exhibit 99.1 filed on August 3, 2018). The adoption of this ASU will result in an increase in our reported assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets due to the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability, and we are in the process of quantifying the expected impact. In July of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements , which allows for a transition option to adopt the standard on the date of initial application as opposed to the modified retrospective approach. We plan to make the election to adopt the standard using this transition relief. Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses In June of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which significantly changes the way that entities will be required to measure credit losses. The new standard requires that the estimated credit loss be based upon an “expected credit loss” approach rather than the “incurred loss” approach currently required. The new approach will require entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets over their expected lives based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of collectability. It is anticipated that the expected credit loss model will require earlier recognition of credit losses than the incurred loss approach. Therefore, we would expect ongoing changes in the allowance for finance receivable losses will be driven primarily by the nature and growth of the Company’s loan portfolio and the economic environment at that time. The ASU requires that credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis; however, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price of the financial asset rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in earnings. Interest income should be recognized based on the effective rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price attributable to expected credit losses at acquisition. The ASU also requires companies to record allowances for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities rather than write-downs of such assets. In addition, the ASU requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures that provide information about the allowance and the significant factors that influenced management’s estimate of the allowance. The ASU will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. The Company’s cross-functional implementation team continues to make progress in line with the established project plan to ensure we comply with all updates from this ASU at the time of adoption. We continue to refine the development of an acceptable model to estimate the expected credit losses in accordance with our model governance policies. After the model has been subject to a parallel testing phase in 2019, the Company will provide further disclosure regarding the estimated impact on our allowance for finance receivable losses. In addition to the development of the model, we are assessing the additional disclosure requirements from this update and the impact the adoption may have on any available-for-sale securities held by the Company. We believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements through an increase to the allowance for finance receivable losses and a corresponding one-time cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Insurance In August of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12, Financial Services - Insurance: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts , which provides targeted improvements to Topic 944 for the assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts; measurement of market risk benefits; amortization of deferred acquisition costs; and enhanced disclosures. The amendments in this ASU become effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2021. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that any other accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , but not yet effective, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures, if adopted.
SEGMENT INFORMATION	Our segments coincide with how our businesses are managed. At September 30, 2018 , our two segments were Consumer and Insurance and Acquisitions and Servicing. The remaining components (which we refer to as “Other”) consist of our non-originating legacy operations, which include our liquidating real estate loans and our liquidating retail sales finance portfolios. Due to the nature of the OneMain Acquisition and the Fortress Acquisition, we applied purchase accounting. However, we report the operating results of Consumer and Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Other using the Segment Accounting Basis, which (i) reflects our allocation methodologies for certain costs, primarily interest expense, loan loss reserves, and acquisition costs to reflect the manner in which we assess our business results and (ii) excludes the impact of applying purchase accounting (eliminates premiums/discounts on our finance receivables and long-term debt at acquisition, as well as the amortization/accretion in future periods).

Receivables [Abstract]
Schedule of components of net finance receivables by type	Components of net finance receivables held for investment by type were as follows: (dollars in millions) Personal Other Receivables Total September 30, 2018 Gross receivables (a)(b) $ 15,536 $ — $ 15,536 Unearned points and fees (192 ) — (192 ) Accrued finance charges 232 — 232 Deferred origination costs 131 — 131 Total $ 15,707 $ — $ 15,707 December 31, 2017 Gross receivables (a)(b) $ 14,617 $ 133 $ 14,750 Unearned points and fees (168 ) — (168 ) Accrued finance charges 210 1 211 Deferred origination costs 116 — 116 Total $ 14,775 $ 134 $ 14,909 (a) Gross receivables are defined as follows: • Finance receivables purchased as a performing receivable — gross finance receivables equal the UPB and the remaining unearned discount, net of premium established at the time of purchase to reflect the finance receivable balance at its initial fair value; • Finance receivables originated subsequent to the OneMain Acquisition and the Fortress Acquisition — gross finance receivables equal the UPB; • Purchased credit impaired finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts; and • TDR finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the UPB and, if applicable, the remaining unearned premium, net of discount established at the time of purchase if previously purchased as a performing receivable.
