Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	'
	1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACI Worldwide, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 is derived from the audited financial statements.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed on February 28, 2014. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained in the future.
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximate the carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
	Receivables, net
	Receivables represent amounts billed and amounts earned that are to be billed in the near future. Included in accrued receivables are services and software hosting revenues earned in the current period but billed in the following period as well as license revenues that are determined to be fixed and determinable but that will be billed in future periods.

	Total other current liabilities		$	44,181		$	95,016
	Individuals and businesses settle their obligations to the Company’s various clients, primarily utility and other public sector clients, using credit or debit cards or via ACH payments. The Company creates a receivable for the amount due from the credit or debit card company and an offsetting payable to the client. Once confirmation is received that the funds have been received, the Company settles the obligation to the client. Due to timing, in some instances, the Company may receive the funds into bank accounts controlled by and in the Company’s name that are not disbursed to its clients by the end of the day resulting in a settlement deposit on the Company’s books.
	Off Balance Sheet Accounts
	The Company also enters into agreements with certain clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an automated clearing house or automated teller machine network payment transaction is processed, a transaction is initiated to withdraw funds from the designated source account and deposit them into a settlement account, which is a trust account maintained for the benefit of the Company’s clients. A simultaneous transaction is initiated to transfer funds from the settlement account to the intended destination account. These “back to back” transactions are designed to settle at the same time, usually overnight, such that the funds are received from the source at the same time as the funds are sent to their destination. However, due to the transactions being with various financial institutions there may be timing differences that result in float balances. These funds are maintained in accounts for the benefit of the client which are separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, those settlement accounts are not included in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company is entitled to interest earned on the fund balances. The collection of interest on these settlement accounts is considered in the Company’s determination of its fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for services performed by the Company. The amount of off balance sheet settlement funds as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $223.5 million and $284.0 million, respectively.
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
	The $29.5 million and $23.3 million accumulated other comprehensive loss included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, represents the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment. Since the undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested, the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss have not been tax effected.
	Goodwill
	Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each reporting unit during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows:
	(in thousands)		Americas			EMEA			Asia/Pacific			Total
	Gross Balance prior to December 31, 2013		$	488,698		$	160,158		$	67,793		$	716,649
	Total impairment prior to December 31, 2013			(47,432	)		—			—			(47,432	)
	Balance, December 31, 2013			441,266			160,158			67,793			669,217
	Goodwill from acquisitions (1)			69,318			81,838			—			151,156
	Foreign currency translation adjustments			(311	)		(2,650	)		(481	)		(3,442	)
	Balance, September 30, 2014		$	510,273		$	239,346		$	67,312		$	816,931
	-1	Goodwill from acquisitions relates to the goodwill recorded for the acquisitions of Retail Decisions Europe Limited and Retail Decisions, Inc. (collectively “ReD”), as well as adjustments to goodwill related to the acquisitions of Official Payments Holdings, Inc. (“OPAY”), Online Resources Corporation (“ORCC”), and Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. (“PTESA”) in prior periods as discussed in Note 3. The purchase price allocations for ReD and OPAY are preliminary as of September 30, 2014 and accordingly are subject to future changes during the maximum one-year allocation period.
	In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we assess goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year using October 1 balances or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level and have identified our reportable segments, Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”), and Asia/Pacific, as our reporting units. Recoverability of goodwill is measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Use of a discounted cash flow model is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available transactional market evidence to determine the fair value.
	The calculated fair value was substantially in excess of the current carrying value for all reporting units based upon our October 1, 2013 annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods.
	Noncontrolling Interest
	On April 10, 2014, the Company dissolved its partnership based in South Africa with Cornastone Technology Investments (Proprietary) Limited (“CTI”). As a result, the Company paid CTI approximately $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 for CTI’s noncontrolling interest and loan balance. Noncontrolling interest in this partnership of $1.1 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 2013.
	Revenue
	Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”)
	ASC 985-605 requires the seller of software that includes post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) to establish VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element of the contract in order to account separately for the PCS revenue. The Company has traditionally established VSOE of the fair value of PCS by reference to stated renewals, expressed in dollar terms, or separate sales with consistent pricing of PCS expressed in percentage terms. In determining whether a stated renewal is not substantive, the Company considers factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal rate is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. In determining whether PCS pricing is consistent, the Company considers the population of separate sales that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period.
	Effective July 2013, the Company establishes VSOE of fair value of PCS by reference to stated renewals for all identified market segments. The Company continues to consider factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. In determining whether PCS pricing is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practice, the Company considers the population of stated renewal rates that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period. The change in estimation methodology does not have a material effect on our financial statements.
	Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements include PCS terms that fail to achieve VSOE of fair value due to non-substantive renewal periods or non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. For these arrangements, VSOE of fair value of PCS does not exist and revenues for the software license, PCS and services, if applicable, are considered to be one accounting unit and are therefore recognized ratably over the longer of the contractual service term or PCS term once the delivery of both services has commenced. The Company typically classifies revenues associated with these arrangements in accordance with the contractually specified amounts, which approximate fair value assigned to the various elements, including software license fees, maintenance fees and services, if applicable.
	This allocation methodology has been applied to the following amounts included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of income from arrangements for which VSOE of fair value does not exist for each undelivered element:

Newly Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This ASU is an amendment to the Accounting Standard Codification 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to explicitly address the accounting treatment of share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. As such, a reporting entity should apply the existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this standard and does not anticipate it having a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

	2. Stock Split
	On April 10, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a three-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock, which was affected in the form of a common stock dividend distributed on July 10, 2014. The Company’s par value remained $0.005 per common share, resulting in an adjustment to increase the total common stock balance with an equal and offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Stockholders’ equity and all references to share and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the three-for-one stock split for all periods presented.

	3. Acquisitions
	Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions
	In 2014, the Company completed one acquisition at an aggregate cost of $205.1 million.
	Retail Decisions Limited
	On August 12, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of ReD for $205.1 million in cash. The Company has included the financial results of ReD in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As a leader in fraud prevention solutions, the acquisition of ReD enhances the Company’s Universal Payments strategy and further strengthens the Company’s leadership position in the fast-growing payments risk management space.
	To fund this acquisition and related transaction fees, the Company drew an additional $60.5 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and increased the Term portion of the Credit Agreement by an additional $150.0 million. See Note 4, Debt, for terms of the financing arrangement.
	The Company incurred approximately $1.8 million in transaction related expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including fees to the investment bank, legal and other professional fees, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
	ReD contributed approximately $5.8 million in revenue and $0.1 million in operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, which includes severance expense related to the integration activities.
	The consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated preliminarily to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition.

	Fiscal 2013 Acquisitions
	In 2013, the Company completed three acquisitions at an aggregate cost of $378.1 million.
	Official Payments Holdings, Inc.
	On November 5, 2013, the Company completed the tender offer for OPAY and all its subsidiaries. The Company paid cash of $8.35 per share of common stock or approximately $139.8 million using funds on hand and $40 million drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid prior to December 31, 2013. The Company has included the financial results of OPAY in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As a leading provider of electronic bill payment solutions in the U.S., serving federal, state and local governments, municipal utilities, higher education institutions and charitable giving organizations, OPAY’s team, user base and vertical expertise made it an ideal match for the Company. The acquisition further extended the Company’s presence in the Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (“EBPP”) space, expanding its portfolio across key sectors including federal, state and local governments, municipal utilities, higher education institutions and charitable giving organizations.
	Each outstanding option to acquire OPAY common stock was cancelled and terminated at the effective time of the acquisition and converted into the right to receive cash with respect to the number of shares of OPAY common stock that would have been issuable upon a net exercise of such option, assuming the market value of the OPAY common stock at the time of such exercise was equal to the $8.35 per common stock tender offer. Any outstanding option with a per share exercise price that was greater than or equal to such amount was cancelled and terminated and no payment was made with respect thereto. In addition, each OPAY restricted stock unit award outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the tender offer was fully vested and cancelled, and each holder of such awards became entitled to receive the $8.35 per common stock tender offer for each share of OPAY common stock into which the vested portion of the awards would otherwise have been converted.
	The consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of OPAY has been allocated preliminarily to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is based upon certain external valuations and other analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing, including, but not limited to, certain tax matters. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to future adjustments during the maximum one-year allocation period.
	The Company made adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation as additional information became available for acquired property and equipment, certain accruals and tax account balances. These adjustments and any resulting adjustments to the statements of income were not material to the Company’s previously reported operating results or financial position.
	Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and technology personnel with the skills to market new and existing products of the Company, enhanced product capabilities, complementary products and customers.
	Online Resources Corporation
	On March 11, 2013, the Company completed the tender offer for ORCC and all its subsidiaries. The Company paid cash of $3.85 per share of common stock for approximately $132.9 million and $127.2 million for the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $260.1 million (the “Merger”). The Company has included the financial results of ORCC in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As a leading provider of online banking and full service bill pay solutions, the acquisition of ORCC added EBPP solutions as a strategic part of ACI’s Universal Payments portfolio. It also strengthened the Company’s online banking capabilities with complementary technology, and expanded the Company’s leadership in serving community banking and credit union customers.
	Each outstanding option to acquire ORCC common stock was cancelled and terminated at the effective time of the Merger and converted into the right to receive an equivalent number of options to purchase ACI common stock. Each ORCC restricted stock unit was vested immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and each holder received $3.85 per share.
	The Company used funds from the $300.0 million of Senior Notes financing arranged through Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to fund the acquisition. See Note 4, Debt, for terms of the financing arrangement.
	The consideration paid by the Company to complete the Merger has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon certain external valuations and other analyses.
	The Company made adjustments to finalize the purchase price allocation as additional information became available for certain accruals and deferred income taxes. These adjustments and any resulting adjustments to the statements of income were not material to the Company’s previously reported operating results or financial position.
	Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and technology personnel with the skills to market new and existing products of the Company, enhanced product capabilities, complementary products and customers.
	Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A.
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company acquired 100% of Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. – Venezuela (“PTESA-V”), 100% of Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. – Ecuador (“PTESA-E”), and the ACI related assets of Profesionales en Transacciones Electronicas S.A. – Colombia (“PTESA-C”), collectively “PTESA”. The common stock of PTESA-E and PTESA-V were acquired for $2.8 million and the assets of PTESA-C were acquired for $11.4 million, for a total aggregate purchase price of $14.2 million paid in cash. The Company has included the financial results of PTESA in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. PTESA had been a long-term partner of the Company, serving customers in South America in sales, service and support functions. The addition of the PTESA team to the Company reinforces its commitment to serve the Latin American market.
	Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in the goodwill (approximately $1.5 million of which is not tax deductible) include the acquisition of management, sales, and services personnel with the skills to market and support products of the Company in the Latin America region. Pro forma results are not presented because they are not material.
	In connection with the 2013 acquisitions, the Company recorded the following amounts based upon its purchase price allocations as of September 30, 2014. The purchase price allocation for OPAY is considered preliminary and is subject to completion of valuations and other analyses.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The pro forma financial information in the table below presents the combined results of operations for the Company, ORCC and OPAY as if both acquisitions had occurred January 1, 2012 (in thousands, except per share data). The pro forma information is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations of the Company or results of operations of the Company that would have actually occurred had the transactions been in effect for the periods presented. This pro forma information is not intended to represent or be indicative of actual results had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of each period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results and does not reflect potential synergies, integration costs, or other such costs or savings. Certain pro forma adjustments have been made to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to give effect to estimated adjustments to expenses to remove the amortization on eliminated OPAY and ORCC historical identifiable intangible assets and add amortization expense for the value of identified intangibles acquired in the acquisitions (primarily acquired software, customer relationships, trade names, and covenants not to compete), adjustments to interest expense to reflect the elimination of preexisting OPAY and ORCC debt and add estimated interest expense on the Company’s additional Term Credit Facility borrowings and to eliminate share-based compensation expense for eliminated positions. Additionally, certain transaction expenses that are a direct result of the acquisitions have been excluded from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	4. Debt
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $78.5 million, $567.8 million and $300.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Credit Facility and Senior Notes, respectively, with up to $171.5 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended. The amount of unused borrowings actually available varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
	Credit Agreement
	The Company entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as amended, with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, providing for revolving loans, swingline loans, letters of credit and a term loan on November 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement consists of a five-year $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit for swingline loans, and a five-year $500 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Credit Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request optional incremental term loans and increases in the revolving commitment.
	On August 20, 2013, upon the consummation of the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes due in 2020 (the “Senior Notes”), the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement originally entered into on November 10, 2011, became effective. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date of the loans under the credit facility to August 20, 2018, and increased the amount the Company may request for optional incremental term loans and/or increases in the revolving commitment from $200 million to $300 million. The Fourth Amendment did not impact the interest rate schedule previously applied to the Credit Agreement.
	On August 12, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $150 million under the Term Credit Facility. These additional borrowings were used in connection with the ReD acquisition that was completed on August 12, 2014.
	On August 12, 2014, the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement became effective. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, permitted the acquisition of ReD, increased the aggregate amount of permitted intercompany indebtedness between the Company and its subsidiaries that are guarantors under the credit facility and subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors under the credit facility from $75 million to $225 million and increased the amount of unsecured indebtedness permitted under the credit facility from $350 million to $500 million, in each case subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Fifth Amendment also amends the Collateral Agreement dated November 10, 2011 (as amended prior to August 12, 2014) among the Company, OPAY, the other grantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, to release the administrative agent’s security interest in, and lien on, certain property of OPAY.
	In connection with the incremental borrowings under the Term Credit Facility and the Fifth Amendment, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $4.5 million, of which $4.4 million were paid as of September 30, 2014.
	Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent as its Prime Rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for a one-month interest period adjusted for certain additional costs plus 1% or (b) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, based on the calculation of the applicable consolidated total leverage ratio, between 0.50% to 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and between 1.50% and 2.50% with respect to LIBOR based borrowings. Interest is due and payable monthly. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2014 for the Credit Facility was 2.41%.
	In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit fees and agency fees.
	The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR based loans.
	Senior Notes
	On August 20, 2013, the Company completed a $300 million offering of Senior Notes at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers. The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 6.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on August 15 and February 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2014. Interest began accruing on August 20, 2013. The Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2020.
	Maturities on long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2014 are as follows:
	Fiscal year ending December 31,
	(in thousands)
	2014	$	19,853
	2015		87,352
	2016		95,293
	2017		95,293
	2018		348,496
	Thereafter		300,000
	Total	$	946,287
	The Credit Agreement and Senior Notes also contain certain customary mandatory prepayment provisions. If certain events, as specified in the Credit Agreement or Senior Notes agreement, shall occur, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility or Senior Notes.
	The Credit Facility will mature on August 20, 2018 and the Senior Notes will mature on August 15, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes will not amortize and the Term Credit Facility will amortize, with principal payable in consecutive quarterly installments.
	The Company’s obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Guaranty and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Credit Facility (or affiliates thereof) are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all assets of the Company and any guarantor, including 100% of the capital stock of ACI Corporation and each domestic subsidiary of the Company, each domestic subsidiary of any guarantor and 65% of the voting capital stock of each foreign subsidiary of the Company that is directly owned by the Company or a guarantor, and in each case, is subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Credit Facility.
	The Credit Agreement and Senior Notes contain certain customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants that limit or restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of liens, indebtedness of subsidiaries, mergers, advances, investments, acquisitions, transactions with affiliates, change in nature of business and the sale of the assets. The Company is also required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio at or below a specified amount and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at or above a specified amount. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2014, and at all times during the period, the Company was in compliance with its financial debt covenants.
	The fair value of our Credit Agreement approximates the carrying value due to the floating interest rate (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The fair value of our Senior Notes approximates the carrying value at September 30, 2014 based upon prevailing interest rates and the Company’s credit rating (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).

	Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	Under the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ESPP”), a total of 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to eligible employees. Participating employees are permitted to designate up to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of their annual base compensation for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. Purchases under the ESPP are made one calendar month after the end of each fiscal quarter. The price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the last business day of the three-month participation period. Shares issued under the ESPP during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled 109,825 and 96,198, respectively.

	A summary of stock options issued pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans is as follows:
		Number of			Weighted-			Weighted-			Aggregate
		Shares			Average			Average			Intrinsic Value of

	Exercisable as of September 30, 2014		4,208,882		$	9.39			4.16		$	39,428,761
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company expects that 93.5% of the options will vest over the vesting period.
	The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $9.02 and $8.02, respectively. The Company issued treasury shares for the exercise of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $15.3 million and $10.4 million, respectively.
	The fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, a pricing model acceptable under U.S. GAAP, with the following weighted-average assumptions:
		Nine Months Ended			Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			September 30, 2013
	Expected life (years)		5.93			5.55			8.64
	Interest rate		1.8	%		1.7	%		1.8	%
	Volatility		45.2	%		47.1	%		47.6	%
	Dividend yield		—			—			—
	Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s historical common stock volatility derived from historical stock price data for historical periods commensurate with the options’ expected life. The expected life is the average number of years that the Company estimated that the options will be outstanding, based primarily on historical employee option exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on United States Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the expected term at the date of grant of the options. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has historically paid no dividends and does not anticipate dividends to be paid in the future.
	Stock Incentive Plan – ORCC Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated
	In relation to the acquisition of ORCC discussed in Note 3, the Company amended the ORCC Stock Incentive Plan, as previously amended and restated (the “ORCC Incentive Plan”). Stock options were granted to ORCC employees by ORCC prior to acquisition by the Company under the ORCC Incentive Plan. Outstanding ORCC options were converted into options for the Company’s stock in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement. These are the only equity awards currently outstanding under the ORCC Incentive Plan and no further grants will be made.
	A summary of transaction stock options issued pursuant to the ORCC Incentive Plan is as follows:
		Number of			Weighted-			Weighted-			Aggregate
		Shares			Average			Average			Intrinsic Value of
					Exercise			Remaining			In-the-Money

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 60,916 RSAs vested. The Company withheld 24,583 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of the minimum payroll withholding taxes.
	Stock Incentive Plan – S1 Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated
	In relation to the acquisition of S1 Corporation (“S1”) in 2012, the Company amended the S1 Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as previously amended and restated (the “S1 2003 Incentive Plan”). RSAs were granted to S1 employees by S1 Corporation prior to the acquisition by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement (“Transaction RSAs”) under the S1 2003 Incentive Plan. These are the only equity awards currently outstanding under the S1 2003 Incentive Plan and no further grants will be made.
Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement with S1, upon the acquisition, the Transaction RSAs were converted to RSAs of the Company’s stock. These awards have requisite service periods of four years and vest in increments of 25% on the anniversary of the original grant date of November 9, 2011. If an employee was terminated without cause within 12 months from the acquisition date, the RSAs 100% vested. Stock is issued without direct cost to the employee. The RSA grants provide for the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock, if any, to the participant during the requisite service period (vesting period) and the participant has voting rights for each share of common stock. The conversion of the Transaction RSAs was treated as a modification and as such, they were valued immediately prior to and after modification. The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSAs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The incremental fair value as measured upon modification is recognized on a straight-line basis from modification date through the end of the requisite service period.
A summary of nonvested Transaction RSAs issued under the S1 2003 Stock Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2014 and changes during the period are as follows:
Nonvested Transaction Restricted Share Awards	Number of			Weighted-Average Grant
	Restricted			Date Fair Value
	Share Awards
Nonvested as of December 31, 2013		57,552		$	11.8
Forfeited		(17,924	)		11.8
Nonvested as of September 30, 2014		39,628		$	11.8
As of September 30, 2014, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $8.2 million related to nonvested stock options, $2.7 million related to the nonvested RSAs, and $14.2 million related to the LTIP performance shares, which the Company expects to recognize over weighted-average periods of 1.9 years, 1.1 years and 1.9 years, respectively.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 related to stock options, LTIP performance shares, RSAs, and the ESPP of $4.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, with corresponding tax benefits of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 related to stock options, LTIP performance shares, RSAs, and the ESPP of $13.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, with corresponding tax benefits of $5.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Tax benefits in excess of the option’s grant date fair value are classified as financing cash flows. Estimated forfeiture rates, stratified by employee classification, have been included as part of the Company’s calculations of compensation costs. The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock option awards that vest with the passage of time with only service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Cash received from option exercises for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $11.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $5.8 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	11. Segment Information
	The Company’s chief operating decision maker, together with other senior management personnel, currently focus their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income, for the geographic regions of the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific and the Corporate line item. The Company’s products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. The Company supplements its distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. All administrative costs that are not directly attributable or reasonably allocable to a geographic segment are tracked in the Corporate line item. As such, the Company has concluded that its three geographic regions are its reportable segments.
	The Company allocates segment support expenses such as global product development, business operations, and product management based upon percentage of revenue per segment. Depreciation and amortization costs are allocated as a percentage of the headcount by segment. The Corporate line item consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. Corporate overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

	The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was 37.5% and 28.0%, respectively. The earnings of the Company’s foreign entities for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 were $7.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates are less than the domestic tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was positively impacted by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and negatively impacted by domestic profits taxed at higher rates and by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was positively impacted by foreign profits taxed at lower rates. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was negatively impacted by acquisition related expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
	The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was 27.1% and 27.8%, respectively. The earnings of the Company’s foreign entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 were $31.6 million and $18.9 million, respectively. The tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates are less than the domestic tax rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was positively impacted by profits in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic losses taxed at higher rates, partially offset by losses in other foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was positively impacted by foreign profits taxed at lower rates and a domestic loss taxed at a higher rate as well as recognition of $1.4 million tax benefit as a result of implementing the 2012 American Taxpayer Relief Act. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was negatively impacted by acquisition related expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes as well as an increase in the valuation allowance against foreign tax credits as a result of the acquisition of ORCC.
	The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could be negatively affected to the extent earnings are lower in the countries in which it operates that have a lower statutory rate or higher in the countries in which it operates that have a higher statutory rate or to the extent it has losses sustained in countries where the future utilization of losses are uncertain. The Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions it operates. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.
	The amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $16.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and $15.0 million as of December 31, 2013, excluding related liabilities for interest and penalties of $2.3 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $4.5 million, due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

	Off Balance Sheet Accounts
	The Company also enters into agreements with certain clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an automated clearing house or automated teller machine network payment transaction is processed, a transaction is initiated to withdraw funds from the designated source account and deposit them into a settlement account, which is a trust account maintained for the benefit of the Company’s clients. A simultaneous transaction is initiated to transfer funds from the settlement account to the intended destination account. These “back to back” transactions are designed to settle at the same time, usually overnight, such that the funds are received from the source at the same time as the funds are sent to their destination. However, due to the transactions being with various financial institutions there may be timing differences that result in float balances. These funds are maintained in accounts for the benefit of the client which are separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, those settlement accounts are not included in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company is entitled to interest earned on the fund balances. The collection of interest on these settlement accounts is considered in the Company’s determination of its fee structure for clients and represents a portion of the payment for services performed by the Company. The amount of off balance sheet settlement funds as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $223.5 million and $284.0 million, respectively.

	In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we assess goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year using October 1 balances or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level and have identified our reportable segments, Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (“EMEA”), and Asia/Pacific, as our reporting units. Recoverability of goodwill is measured using a discounted cash flow model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Use of a discounted cash flow model is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available transactional market evidence to determine the fair value.
	The calculated fair value was substantially in excess of the current carrying value for all reporting units based upon our October 1, 2013 annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods.
Noncontrolling Interest	'
	Noncontrolling Interest
	On April 10, 2014, the Company dissolved its partnership based in South Africa with Cornastone Technology Investments (Proprietary) Limited (“CTI”). As a result, the Company paid CTI approximately $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 for CTI’s noncontrolling interest and loan balance. Noncontrolling interest in this partnership of $1.1 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 2013.
Revenue	'
	Revenue
	Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”)
	ASC 985-605 requires the seller of software that includes post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) to establish VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element of the contract in order to account separately for the PCS revenue. The Company has traditionally established VSOE of the fair value of PCS by reference to stated renewals, expressed in dollar terms, or separate sales with consistent pricing of PCS expressed in percentage terms. In determining whether a stated renewal is not substantive, the Company considers factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal rate is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. In determining whether PCS pricing is consistent, the Company considers the population of separate sales that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period.
	Effective July 2013, the Company establishes VSOE of fair value of PCS by reference to stated renewals for all identified market segments. The Company continues to consider factors such as whether the period of the initial PCS term is relatively long when compared to the term of the software license or whether the PCS renewal is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practices. In determining whether PCS pricing is significantly below the Company’s normal pricing practice, the Company considers the population of stated renewal rates that are within a reasonably narrow range of the median within the identified market segment over the trailing 12 month period. The change in estimation methodology does not have a material effect on our financial statements.
	Certain of the Company’s software license arrangements include PCS terms that fail to achieve VSOE of fair value due to non-substantive renewal periods or non-substantive PCS renewal amounts. For these arrangements, VSOE of fair value of PCS does not exist and revenues for the software license, PCS and services, if applicable, are considered to be one accounting unit and are therefore recognized ratably over the longer of the contractual service term or PCS term once the delivery of both services has commenced. The Company typically classifies revenues associated with these arrangements in accordance with the contractually specified amounts, which approximate fair value assigned to the various elements, including software license fees, maintenance fees and services, if applicable.
	This allocation methodology has been applied to the following amounts included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of income from arrangements for which VSOE of fair value does not exist for each undelivered element:

Newly Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Newly Issued Accounting Standards
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard requires that entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.
	In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This ASU is an amendment to the Accounting Standard Codification 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to explicitly address the accounting treatment of share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. As such, a reporting entity should apply the existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this standard and does not anticipate it having a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Earnings per share	'
	Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and other outstanding dilutive securities.
Segment Information	'
	The Company’s chief operating decision maker, together with other senior management personnel, currently focus their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income, for the geographic regions of the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific and the Corporate line item. The Company’s products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. The Company supplements its distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. All administrative costs that are not directly attributable or reasonably allocable to a geographic segment are tracked in the Corporate line item. As such, the Company has concluded that its three geographic regions are its reportable segments.
	The Company allocates segment support expenses such as global product development, business operations, and product management based upon percentage of revenue per segment. Depreciation and amortization costs are allocated as a percentage of the headcount by segment. The Corporate line item consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. Corporate overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.
