Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [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 March 31, 2019, and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2018, 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, 2018, filed on March 1, 2019. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2019, 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 judgments, 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. Other Current Assets and Other Current Liabilitie s (in thousands) March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Settlement receivables $ 13,842 $ 8,605 Settlement deposits 10,549 23,651 Other 16,439 14,260 Total other current assets $ 40,830 $ 46,516 (in thousands) March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Settlement payables $ 23,552 $ 31,605 Operating lease liabilities 14,334 — Royalties payable 14,751 11,318 Vendor financed licenses 4,152 3,551 Accrued interest 4,848 8,407 Other 28,967 38,412 Total other current liabilities $ 90,604 $ 93,293 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 automated clearing house (“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. Upon confirmation 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 Settlement Accounts The Company also enters into agreements with certain clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an ACH 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 Company receives the funds from the source at the same time as it sends the funds 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 is separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, the 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 settlement funds as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $199.6 million and $256.5 million, respectively. Fair Value The fair value of the Company’s Credit Agreement approximates the carrying value due to the floating interest rate (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes based on Level 2 inputs, which include quoted market prices and interest rate spreads of similar securities. The fair value of the Company’s 5.750% Senior Notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $409.5 million and $395.0 million respectively. 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). Goodwill In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, $909.7 million was allocated to its two reporting units, with $725.9 million allocated to ACI On Premise and $183.8 million allocated to ACI On Demand. 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 the October 1, 2018, annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods. New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases $63.3 million and $68.6 million, respectively. Refer to Note 13, Leases In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. This ASU requires disclosure of a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI; whether election is made to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; and information about the income tax effects that are reclassified. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, and statement of cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	3. Acquisition Speedpay On May 9, 2019, the Company acquired Speedpay, the U.S. bill pay business of Western Union Company (“WU”) for $750.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, among the Company, WU, and ACI Worldwide Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The combination of the Company and Speedpay bill pay solutions will serve more than 4,000 customers across the U.S., bringing expanded reach in existing and complementary market segments such as consumer finance, insurance, healthcare, higher education, utilities, government, and mortgage. The acquisition of Speedpay will increase the scale of the Company’s On Demand platform business and allow the acceleration of platform innovation. The acquisition of Speedpay will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, where the Company will record all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair values. The Company has not completed the valuation analysis and calculations necessary to finalize the required purchase price allocations. In addition to goodwill, the final purchase price allocation may include allocations to intangible assets such as trademarks and tradenames, developed technology, and customer-related assets. Effective April 5, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “amendment”) with ACI Worldwide Corp., Official Payments Corporation, the lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders, to amend and restate the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated February 24, 2017. The amendment permitted the Company to borrow up to $500.0 million in the form of a senior secured term loan; extended the revolver and the term loan maturity date from February 24, 2022, to April 5, 2024; and increased the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio covenant from 3.50:1.00 to 3.75:1.00; among other things. The Company used the funds from the new term loan, in addition to drawing $250.0 million on the available Revolving Credit Facility, to fund the acquisition. Through March 31, 2019, the Company expensed approximately $4.7 million of costs related to the acquisition of Speedpay. These costs, which consist primarily of consulting and legal fees, are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Debt

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	4. Debt As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $279.0 million and $400.0 million outstanding under its Term Credit Facility and Senior Notes, respectively, with up to $500.0 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended. Credit Agreement On February 24, 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement replacing the existing agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent, providing for revolving loans, swingline loans, letters of credit, and a term loan. The Credit Agreement consists of (a) a five-year $500.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes sublimits for (1) the issuance of standby letters of credit and (2) swingline loans, and (b) a five-year $415.0 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. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the annual interest rate publicly announced by the administrative agent as its Prime Rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, or (3) a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) 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 rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowings, adjusted for certain additional costs, plus an applicable margin. Based on the calculation of the applicable consolidated total leverage ratio, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Facility is between 0.25% to 1.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and between 1.25% and 2.25% with respect to LIBOR rate borrowings. Interest is due and payable monthly. The interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2019, for the Credit Facility was 4.25%. The Company is also required to pay (a) a commitment fee related to the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, (b) 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 rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on an annual basis, payable quarterly in arrears, and (c) customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit fees and agency fees. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Credit Facility (or affiliates thereof) and the obligations of the subsidiary guarantors 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 Worldwide Corp. 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, in each case subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Credit Facility. On October 9, 2018, the Company entered into the first amendment to the collateral agreement of the Credit Agreement. This amendment released the lien on certain assets of Official Payments Corporation (“OPAY”), our electronic bill presentment and payment affiliate, to allow OPAY to comply with certain eligible securities and unencumbered asset requirements related to money transmitter or transfer license rules and regulations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	11. Segment Information The Company reports financial performance based on its segments, ACI On Premise and ACI On Demand, and analyzes Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of segment profitability. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM, together with other senior management personnel, focus their review on consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on operating results, including revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA, for each segment, separate from Corporate operations. ACI On Premise serves customers who manage their software on site. These on-premise customers use the Company’s software to develop sophisticated solutions, which are often part of a larger system located and managed at the customer specified site. These customers require a level of control and flexibility that ACI On Premise solutions can offer, and they have the resources and expertise to take a lead role in managing these solutions. ACI On Demand serves the needs of banks, merchants and corporates who use payments to facilitate their core business. These on-demand solutions are maintained and delivered through the cloud via our global data centers and are available in either a single-tenant environment for SaaS offerings, or in a multi-tenant environment for PaaS offerings. Revenue is attributed to the reportable segments based upon the product sold and mechanism for delivery to the customer. Expenses are attributed to the reportable segments in one of three methods: (1) direct costs of the segment, (2) labor costs that can be attributed based upon time tracking for individual products, or (3) costs that are allocated. Allocated costs are generally marketing and sales related activities as well as information technology and facilities related expense for which multiple segments benefit. The Company also allocates certain depreciation costs to the segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the measure reported to the CODM for purposes of making decisions on allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company’s segments, and, therefore, Segment Adjusted EBITDA is presented in conformity with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from operations before interest, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, and net other income (expense). Corporate and unallocated expenses consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. These overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity, and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was 33%. The Company reported an overall tax benefit on a pretax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The losses of the Company’s foreign entities for the three months ended March 31, 2019, were $6.1 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was positively impacted by equity compensation excess tax benefits and state income tax benefits on domestic loss. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was 17%. The losses of the Company’s foreign entities for the three months ended March 31, 2018, were $1.8 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was negatively impacted by losses in certain foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates and domestic taxes resulting from the current GILTI tax, partially offset by equity compensation tax benefits. The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the occurrence of significant and unusual or infrequent items, such as vesting of stock-based compensation or foreign currency gains and losses. 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. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $28.3 million and $28.4 million, respectively, excluding related liabilities for interest and penalties of $1.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by approximately $3.9 million, due to the settlement of various audits and the expiration of statutes of limitation.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	13. Leases The Company has operating leases for corporate offices and datacenters. Excluding office leases, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset) are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases typically include certain renewal options to extend the leases for up to 25 years, some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company combines lease and non-lease components of its leases and currently has no leases with options to purchase the leased property. The Company accounts for payments of maintenance and property tax costs paid by it as variable lease cost, which are expensed as incurred. The components of lease cost are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Operating lease cost $ 4,036 Variable lease cost 986 Sublease income (139 ) Total lease cost $ 4,883 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 5,411 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations: Operating leases 1,218 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows (in thousands, except lease term and discount rate): March 31, 2019 Assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 60,978 Liabilities: Other current liabilities $ 14,334 Operating lease liabilities 50,636 Total operating lease liabilities $ 64,970 Weighted average remaining operating lease term 7.02 Weighted average operating lease discount rate 3.96 % The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. As the Company enters into operating leases in multiple jurisdictions and denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, judgment is used to determine the Company’s incremental borrowing rate including (1) conversion of its subordinated borrowing rate (using published yield curves) to an unsubordinated and collateralized rate (2) adjusting the rate to align with the term of each lease and (3) adjusting the rate to incorporate the effects of the currency in which the lease is denominated. Maturities on lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019, are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 $ 12,471 2020 14,895 2021 10,915 2022 8,387 2023 6,698 Thereafter 21,122 Total lease payments 74,488 Less: imputed interest 9,518 Total lease liability $ 64,970 Future payments under operating lease agreements accounted for under ASC 840, Leases, Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2019 $ 16,925 2020 14,212 2021 10,538 2022 8,178 2023 6,529 Thereafter 21,196 Total minimum lease payments $ 77,578 As of March 31, 2019, the Company has additional operating leases for office facilities that have not yet commenced with minimum lease payments of $3.7 million.

The Company creates a receivable for the amount due from the credit or debit card company and an offsetting payable to the client. Upon confirmation 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 Settlement Accounts	Off Balance Sheet Settlement Accounts The Company also enters into agreements with certain clients to process payment funds on their behalf. When an ACH 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 Company receives the funds from the source at the same time as it sends the funds 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 is separate from the Company’s corporate assets. As the Company does not take ownership of the funds, the 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 settlement funds as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $199.6 million and $256.5 million, respectively.
Fair Value	Fair Value The fair value of the Company’s Credit Agreement approximates the carrying value due to the floating interest rate (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes based on Level 2 inputs, which include quoted market prices and interest rate spreads of similar securities. The fair value of the Company’s 5.750% Senior Notes due 2026 (“2026 Notes”) as of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $409.5 million and $395.0 million respectively. 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).
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	Goodwill In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, $909.7 million was allocated to its two reporting units, with $725.9 million allocated to ACI On Premise and $183.8 million allocated to ACI On Demand. 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 the October 1, 2018, annual impairment test and there have been no indications of impairment in the subsequent periods.
New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted	New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases $63.3 million and $68.6 million, respectively. Refer to Note 13, Leases In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. This ASU requires disclosure of a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI; whether election is made to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; and information about the income tax effects that are reclassified. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, and statement of cash flows.
