• | Consumer-to-Consumer - The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers, primarily through a network of third-party agents. The Company's multi-currency, real-time money transfer service is viewed by the Company as one interconnected global network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another, around the world. This service is available for international cross-border transfers - that is, the transfer of funds from one country to another - and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers - that is, money transfers from one location to another in the same country. This segment also includes money transfer transactions that can be initiated through websites and mobile devices. |
• | Consumer-to-Business - The Consumer-to-Business operating segment facilitates bill payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations, including utilities, auto finance companies, mortgage servicers, financial service providers, government agencies and other businesses. The significant majority of the segment's revenue was generated in the United States during all periods presented, with the remainder primarily generated in Argentina. |
• | Business Solutions - The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations and individuals. The majority of the segment's business relates to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, in certain countries, the Company writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments. |

(a) | In many circumstances, the Company allows its Business Solutions customers to settle part or all of their derivative contracts prior to maturity. However, the offsetting positions originally entered into with financial institution counterparties do not allow for similar settlement. To mitigate this, additional foreign currency contracts are entered into with financial institution counterparties to offset the original economic hedge contracts. This frequently results in increases in our derivative assets and liabilities that may exceed the growth in the underlying derivatives business. |

(a) | The loss of $8.5 million and $7.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, consisted of a loss in value on the debt of $11.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively, and amortization of hedge accounting adjustments of $2.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. |
(b) | The portion of the change in fair value of a derivative excluded from the effectiveness assessment for foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges represents the difference between changes in forward rates and spot rates. |
(c) | The Company uses derivatives to hedge the forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt and records the effective portion of the derivative's fair value in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are reclassified to "Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the related notes. |
(d) | The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts as part of its Business Solutions payments operations. These derivative contracts are excluded from this table as they are managed as part of a broader currency portfolio that includes non-derivative currency exposures. The gains and losses on these derivatives are included as part of the broader disclosure of portfolio revenue for this business discussed above. |
(e) | The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations as well as certain foreign currency denominated positions. Foreign exchange gains/(losses) on settlement assets and obligations, cash balances, and other assets and liabilities, not including amounts related to derivatives activity as displayed above and included in "Selling, general, and administrative" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $16.4 million and $(29.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
(f) | The derivative contracts used in the Company's revenue hedging program are not designated as hedges in the final month of the contract. |

(a) | The difference between the stated interest rate and the effective interest rate is not significant. |
(b) | The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rates. The changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps result in an offsetting hedge accounting adjustment recorded to the carrying value of the related note. These hedge accounting adjustments will be reclassified as reductions to or increases in "Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the related notes, and cause the effective rate of interest to differ from the notes’ stated rate. |
(c) | On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement that requires capitalized debt issuance costs to be presented as a reduction to the carrying value of debt, with adoption retrospective for periods previously presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in a reduction of $9.7 million to the carrying value of borrowings as of December 31, 2015. |
(d) | As of March 31, 2016, the Company’s weighted-average effective rate on total borrowings was approximately 4.9%. |

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
• | Consumer-to-Consumer - The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers, primarily through a network of third-party agents. Our multi-currency, real-time money transfer service is viewed by us as one interconnected global network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another, around the world. Our money transfer services are available for international cross-border transfers - that is, the transfer of funds from one country to another - and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers - that is, money transfers from one location to another in the same country. This segment also includes money transfer transactions that can be initiated through websites and mobile devices. |
• | Consumer-to-Business - The Consumer-to-Business operating segment facilitates bill payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations, including utilities, auto finance companies, mortgage servicers, financial service providers, government agencies and other businesses. The significant majority of the segment's revenue was generated in the United States during all periods presented, with the remainder primarily generated in Argentina. |
• | Business Solutions - The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations and individuals. The majority of the segment's business relates to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, in certain countries, we write foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments. |

If a former Participant has been paid all amounts deferred under the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) and on or before the date of the last payment was not eligible to continue to participate in the Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) for periods after the last payment (other than through an election of a different time and form of payment with respect to amounts paid), the Employee may be treated as newly eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3(a) as of the first date following such payment that the Employee again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. If an Employee has ceased to be eligible to defer amounts under the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) (other than the accrual of earnings), regardless of whether all amounts deferred under the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) have been paid, and subsequently becomes eligible to participate in the Plan again, the Employee may be treated as newly eligible to participate pursuant to Section 3.3(a) if the Employee has not been eligible to participate in the Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time during the 24-month period ending on the date that the Employee again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan. |

The new Deferred Compensation Agreement election shall be effective for such Plan Year and all subsequent Plan Years, except that the Employee may change his or her Deferred Compensation Agreement deferral election at any time through the December 31 prior to the beginning of a Plan Year. After the December 31 prior to the beginning of the Plan Year, the Deferred Compensation Agreement deferral election shall become irrevocable with respect to that Plan Year, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish earlier deadlines or annual enrollment periods for such election changes during which such elections must be made. |
(d) | Elections to Defer Performance Grants. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 3.3, an eligible Employee may elect to defer a Performance Grant at any time on or before the date that is six months before the end of the applicable performance period, provided (i) the Employee has performed services for the Company or an Affiliate continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the Performance Measures are established for the Performance Grant in writing (which shall be no later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period) through the date of this election and (ii) the amount payable in respect of the Performance Grant is not calculable and substantially certain to be paid as of the time of this election. |
(e) | Cancellation of Deferral Election for 401(k) Plan Hardship Distribution. Notwithstanding a Participant’s deferral election in his or her Deferred Compensation Agreement, a Participant’s deferral election shall be cancelled if required under the 401(k) plan sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate which is the Participant’s Employer due to the Participant’s receipt of a hardship distribution from such 401(k) plan, pursuant to the requirements of Code § 1.401(k)‑1(d)(3). After the cancellation required under the 401(k) plan has expired, the Participant may execute a new Deferred Compensation Agreement, in accordance with the timing requirements for previously eligible employees under Section 3.3(c). |

The Committee shall make its decision solely on the basis of the written record, including documents and written materials submitted by the Participant or Designated Beneficiary (or the authorized representative of the Participant or Designated Beneficiary). The Committee shall make its decision promptly, which shall ordinarily be not later than 60 days (45 days in the event of a claim involving a Disability) after the Plan’s receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time for processing. In that case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days (90 days in the event of a claim involving a Disability) after receipt of the request for review.

A document, record, or other information shall be considered relevant to the claim if such document, record, or other information (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination, (ii) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such document, record, or other information was relied upon in making the benefit determination, or (iii) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards designed to ensure and verify that benefit claim determinations are made in accordance with the Plan and that, where appropriate, the Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants. |
(c) | The Committee’s decision on review shall be final. In the event the decision on review is not provided to the Participant or Designated Beneficiary within the time required, the claim shall be deemed denied on review. |

7. | If Executive’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates involuntarily and without Cause on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, Executive is an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy (Executive Committee Level) (the “Executive Severance Policy”), and paragraph 9 does not apply, Executive shall be entitled to a prorated Award, subject to the terms of the Executive Severance Policy (including but not limited to the requirement that Executive timely execute an agreement and release in a form acceptable to the Company which will include restrictive covenants and a comprehensive release of all claims). Such prorated Award shall be equal to the amount of the Award which is actually earned, based upon satisfaction of the Performance Measure during the Performance Period (as certified by the Committee in writing) and the Committee’s determination of the amount of the Award payable to Executive in accordance with Exhibit A, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days Executive was employed with the Company during the Restriction Period and the denominator of which shall equal the number of days in the Restriction Period. Such prorated Award shall be paid at the same time as if Executive had remained employed with the Company through the end of the Restriction Period. If Executive’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates involuntarily and without Cause before the first anniversary of the Grant Date (other than on account of death or Disability), and paragraph 9 does not apply, Executive shall not be entitled to a prorated Award. |
8. | During the Restriction Period, Executive (and any person succeeding to Executive’s rights pursuant to the Plan) will have no ownership interest or rights in Shares underlying the Units, including no rights to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares or to exercise voting or other shareholder rights with respect to such Shares. Executive shall not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents in connection with this Award. |
9. | If Executive is eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Policy at the time of a Change in Control and Executive’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for an eligible reason under the Executive Severance Policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Change in Control, then, subject to the terms of such policy, the Award shall be paid to Executive, to the extent earned, based upon satisfaction of the Performance Measure during the Performance Period (as certified by the Committee in writing) and in accordance with Exhibit A, as if Executive had remained employed with the Company through the end of the Restriction Period. |
10. | The terms of this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of Executive under this Agreement without Executive’s written consent. |
11. | Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Executive and all persons claiming under or through Executive. By accepting this grant of Units or other benefit under the Plan, Executive and each person claiming under or through Executive shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee or its delegates. |
12. | This grant of Units is discretionary, non-binding for future years and there is no promise or guarantee that such grants will be offered to Executive in future years. |
13. | The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Executive’s participation in the Plan, or Executive’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying the Units. Executive is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. |
14. | The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of these Terms and Conditions and the Plan and rights relating to the Plan and to this Agreement, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly under the grant of the Units or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, and agree that |
15. | If one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan. |
16. | Executive acknowledges that Executive has read the Company’s Clawback Policy. In consideration of the grant of the Units, Executive agrees to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy and any determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines that any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Company’s Clawback Policy) received by or paid to Executive resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by Executive’s misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from Executive (such amount being recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of the unvested Units (the “Clawbacked Portion”) and, in such case, the Clawbacked Portion of the unvested Units shall automatically and without further action of the Company be cancelled, (b) requiring Executive to deliver to the Company the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units (to the extent held by Executive), (c) requiring Executive to repay to the Company any net proceeds resulting from the sale of the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units or (d) any combination of the remedies set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c). The foregoing remedies are in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to Executive’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Executive and all persons claiming through Executive. |
17. | To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive’s “termination of employment,” such term shall be deemed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon Executive’s separation from service and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of the separation from service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. |
I hereby confirm that the foregoing and the documents attached hereto are hereby in all respects accepted and agreed to by the undersigned as of the date of this Agreement: | |

Effective on and after such date, subject to applicable laws and Company policies, Executive may hold, assign, pledge, sell, or transfer the Shares transferred to Executive in Executive’s discretion.

Such prorated Award shall be equal to the amount of the Award which is actually earned, based upon satisfaction of the Performance Measure during the Performance Period (as certified by the Committee in writing) and the Committee’s determination of the amount of the Award payable to Executive in accordance with Exhibit A, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of days Executive was employed with the Company during the Restriction Period and the denominator of which shall equal the number of days in the Restriction Period. Such prorated Award shall be paid at the same time as if Executive had remained employed with the Company through the end of the Restriction Period. If Executive’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates involuntarily and without Cause before the first anniversary of the Grant Date (other than on account of death or Disability), and paragraph 9 does not apply, Executive shall not be entitled to a prorated Award. |

Executive shall not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents in connection with this Award. |
9. | If Executive is eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Policy at the time of a Change in Control and Executive’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for an eligible reason under the Executive Severance Policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Change in Control, then, subject to the terms of such policy, the Award shall be paid to Executive, to the extent earned, based upon satisfaction of the Performance Measure during the Performance Period (as certified by the Committee in writing) and in accordance with Exhibit A, as if Executive had remained employed with the Company through the end of the Restriction Period. |
10. | The terms of this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of Executive under this Agreement without Executive’s written consent. |
11. | Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Executive and all persons claiming under or through Executive. By accepting this grant of Units or other benefit under the Plan, Executive and each person claiming under or through Executive shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee or its delegates. |
12. | In accepting the award of Units, Executive acknowledges that (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan; (ii) the award of Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Units, or benefits in lieu of Units even if Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (iv) Executive’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) the award of Units is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to Executive’s employer, and the Units are outside the scope of Executive’s employment contract, if any; (vi) the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vii) neither the award of the Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the |
13. | The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Executive’s participation in the Plan, or Executive’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying the Units.

14. | The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of these Terms and Conditions and the Plan and rights relating to the Plan and to this Agreement, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly under the grant of the Units or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Douglas County, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Colorado, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. |

16. | If Recipient has received this Award Agreement or any other document or communication related to the Plan or this grant in a language other than English and the meaning in the translation is different than in the English version, the terms expressed in the English version will govern. |
17. | The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Units and to participation in the Plan or related to future Units that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request Executive’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Executive hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. |
18. | The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Executive’s participation in the Plan, on the Award and on any Shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with any applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Executive agrees to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. Furthermore, Executive acknowledges that the laws of the country in which Executive is working at the time of grant, vesting or the sale of Shares received pursuant to this Award (including any rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or other matters) may subject Executive to additional procedural or regulatory requirements that Executive is and will be solely responsible for and must fulfill. |
19. | If one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed |
20. | Consumer Protection Notification. If the provisions of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) are applicable to the Agreement and the Plan, Executive may be entitled to revoke his acceptance of the Agreement if Executive signs this Agreement outside of the business premises of Executive’s employer, provided the revocation is made within one week of Executive’s acceptance. The revocation must be in written form to be valid. It is sufficient if Executive returns this Agreement to the Company or the Company’s representative with language which can be understood as Executive’s refusal to conclude or honor this Agreement, provided the revocation is sent within the period set forth above. |
21. | Exchange Control Information. If Executive holds Shares obtained through the Plan outside of Austria, he must submit an annual report to the Austrian National Bank. An exemption applies if the value of the Shares as of any given quarter does not exceed €30,000,000 or of December 31 does not exceed €5,000,000. The deadline for filing the annual report is January 31 of the following year. When Shares are sold, there may be exchange control obligations if the cash received is held outside of Austria. If the transaction volume of all of Executive’s accounts abroad exceeds €3,000,000, the movements and balances of all accounts must be reported monthly, as of the last day of the month, on or before the fifteenth day of the following month. |
22. | Executive acknowledges that Executive has read the Company’s Clawback Policy. In consideration of the grant of the Units, Executive agrees to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy and any determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines that any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Company’s Clawback Policy) received by or paid to Executive resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by Executive’s misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from Executive (such amount being recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of the unvested Units (the “Clawbacked Portion”) and, in such case, the Clawbacked Portion of the unvested Units shall automatically and without further action of the Company be cancelled, (b) requiring Executive to deliver to the Company the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units (to the extent held by Executive), (c) requiring Executive to repay to the Company any net proceeds resulting from the sale of the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units or (d) any combination of the remedies set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c). The foregoing remedies are in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to Executive’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Executive and all persons claiming through Executive. |
23. | To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive’s “termination of employment,” such term shall be deemed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code if Executive is subject to tax in the U.S. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon Executive’s |

Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines that any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Company’s Clawback Policy) received by or paid to Executive resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by Executive’s misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from Executive (such amount being recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of the unvested Units (the “Clawbacked Portion”) and, in such case, the Clawbacked Portion of the unvested Units shall automatically and without further action of the Company be cancelled, (b) requiring Executive to deliver to the Company the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units (to the extent held by Executive), (c) requiring Executive to repay to the Company any net proceeds resulting from the sale of the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units or (d) any combination of the remedies set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c). The foregoing remedies are in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to Executive’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Executive and all persons claiming through Executive. |
21. | To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive’s “termination of employment,” such term shall be deemed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code if Executive is subject to tax in the U.S. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon Executive’s separation from service and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of the separation from service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. |

1. | Pursuant to The Western Union Company 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), The Western Union Company (the “Company”) hereby grants to you (“Executive”) an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”), in the amount specified in Executive’s Award Notice (which forms part of this Agreement) as of the Grant Date specified in Executive’s Award Notice, related to shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by this reference and made a part hereof. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan. |
2. | Each Unit shall provide for the issuance and transfer to Executive of one Share upon lapse of the restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 below. Upon issuance and transfer of Shares to Executive following the Restriction Period (as defined herein), Executive shall have all rights incident to ownership of such Shares, including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends. |
3. | Subject to other provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, all restrictions on the Units shall lapse and the Shares subject to the Units shall be issued and transferred to Executive. Effective on and after such date, subject to applicable laws and Company policies, Executive may hold, assign, pledge, sell, or transfer the Shares in Executive’s discretion. The three-year period in which the Units may be forfeited by the Executive is defined as the “Restriction Period.” |
4. | Executive may elect to satisfy Executive’s obligation to advance the amount of any required income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) incurred in connection with the issuance and transfer of the Shares by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to Executive having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to Executive, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (4) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom Executive has submitted an irrevocable notice of sale, or (5) any combination of (1) and (2). |
5. | The Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, while subject to restrictions. If Executive or anyone claiming under or through Executive attempts to make any such sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition of Units in violation of this paragraph 5, such attempted violation shall be null, void, and without effect. |
6. | Executive shall forfeit Executive’s right to any unvested Units if Executive’s continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates for any reason during the Restriction Period (except solely by reason of a period of Related Employment or as set forth in paragraphs 7 and 9). |
7. | Except to the extent paragraph 9 applies, if Executive’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate is terminated involuntarily and without Cause and on the date of such termination Executive is an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy (“Executive Committee Level”) (the “Executive Severance Policy”), subject to the terms of the |
8. | During the Restriction Period, Executive (and any person succeeding to Executive’s rights pursuant to the Plan) will have no ownership interest or rights in Shares underlying the Units, including no rights to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares or to exercise voting or other shareholder rights with respect to such Shares. Executive shall not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents in connection with this award. |
9. | If Executive is eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Policy at the time of a Change in Control and Executive’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for an eligible reason under the Executive Severance Policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Change in Control, then, subject to the terms of the Executive Severance Policy, any remaining restrictions applicable to the Units shall immediately lapse effective on the date of Executive’s termination. |
10. | The terms of this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of Executive under this Agreement without Executive’s written consent. |
11. | Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Executive and all persons claiming under or through Executive. By accepting this grant of Units or other benefit under the Plan, Executive and each person claiming under or through Executive shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee or its delegates. |
12. | This grant of Units is discretionary, non-binding for future years and there is no promise or guarantee that such grants will be offered to Executive in future years. |
13. | The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Executive’s participation in the Plan, or Executive’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying the Units. Executive is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. |
14. | The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of these Terms and Conditions and the Plan and rights relating to the Plan and to this Agreement, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly under the grant of the Units or the Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Douglas County, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Colorado, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. |
15. | If one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed as to foster the intent of this Agreement and the Plan. |
16. | Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in the case of Executive’s termination of employment due to death, Disability or for an eligible reason under the Executive Severance Policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of a Change in Control, in order for the restrictions on the Units to lapse the Company must achieve as a Performance Measure not less than $1,500,000,000 of combined consolidated operating income for the period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2018, as determined by the Committee from the Corporation’s annual financial statements. |
17. | Executive acknowledges that Executive has read the Company’s Clawback Policy. In consideration of the grant of the Units, Executive agrees to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy and any determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines that any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Company’s Clawback Policy) received by or paid to Executive resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by Executive’s misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from Executive (such amount being recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of the unvested Units (the “Clawbacked Portion”) and, in such case, the Clawbacked Portion of the unvested Units shall automatically and without further action of the Company be cancelled, (b) requiring Executive to deliver to the Company the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units (to the extent held by Executive), (c) requiring Executive to repay to the Company any net proceeds resulting from the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units or (d) any combination of the remedies set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c). The foregoing remedies are in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to Executive’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board |
18. | To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive’s “termination of employment,” such term shall be deemed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon Executive’s separation from service and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of the separation from service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. |
I hereby confirm that the foregoing and the documents attached hereto are hereby in all respects accepted and agreed to by the undersigned as of the date of this Agreement: | |

Date: ____________________ |
1. | Pursuant to The Western Union Company 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), The Western Union Company (the “Company”) hereby grants to you (“Executive”) an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Units”), in the amount specified in Executive’s Award Notice (which forms part of this Agreement) as of the Grant Date specified in Executive’s Award Notice, related to shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including any country-specific terms or conditions for Executive’s country of residence as set forth in the Appendix) and the Plan. The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by this reference and made a part hereof. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan. |
2. | Each Unit shall provide for the issuance and transfer to Executive of one Share upon lapse of the restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 below. Upon issuance and transfer of Shares to Executive following the Restriction Period (as defined herein), Executive shall have all rights incident to ownership of such Shares, including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends. |
3. | Subject to other provisions of this Agreement (including the Appendix) and the terms of the Plan, on the third anniversary of the Grant Date, all restrictions on the Units shall lapse and the Shares subject to the Units shall be issued and transferred to Executive. Effective on and after such date, subject to applicable laws and Company policies, Executive may hold, assign, pledge, sell, or transfer the Shares in Executive’s discretion. The three-year period in which the Units may be forfeited by the Executive is defined as the “Restriction Period.” |
4. | Executive may elect to satisfy Executive’s obligation to advance the amount of any required income tax (including foreign, federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items (the “Required Tax Payments”) incurred in connection with the issuance and transfer of the Shares by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (3) authorizing the Company to withhold whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to Executive having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to Executive, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (4) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom Executive has submitted an irrevocable notice of sale, or (5) any combination of (1) and (2). |
5. | The Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, while subject to restrictions. If Executive or anyone claiming under or through Executive attempts to make any such sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition of Units in violation of this paragraph 5, such attempted violation shall be null, void, and without effect. |
6. | Executive shall forfeit Executive’s right to any unvested Units if Executive’s continuous employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate terminates for any reason during the |
7. | Except to the extent paragraph 9 applies, if Executive’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate is terminated involuntarily and without Cause and on the date of such termination Executive is an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy (“Executive Committee Level”) (the “Executive Severance Policy”), subject to the terms of the Executive Severance Policy (including but not limited to the requirement that Executive timely execute an agreement and release in a form acceptable to the Company which will include restrictive covenants and a comprehensive release of all claims), any then-restricted Units shall vest and be settled on a prorated basis effective on Executive’s termination date. Such prorated vesting shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed between the Grant Date and Executive’s termination date and the denominator of which is the number of days between the Grant Date and the third anniversary of the Grant Date. The restricted portion of this award that does not become vested under such calculation shall be forfeited on Executive’s termination date and shall be cancelled by the Company. |
8. | During the Restriction Period, Executive (and any person succeeding to Executive’s rights pursuant to the Plan) will have no ownership interest or rights in Shares underlying the Units, including no rights to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares or to exercise voting or other shareholder rights with respect to such Shares. Executive shall not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents in connection with this award. |
9. | If Executive is eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Policy at the time of a Change in Control and Executive’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for an eligible reason under the Executive Severance Policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Change in Control, then, subject to the terms of the Executive Severance Policy, any remaining restrictions applicable to the Units shall immediately lapse effective on the date of Executive’s termination. |
10. | The terms of this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such amendment |
11. | Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Executive and all persons claiming under or through Executive. By accepting this grant of Units or other benefit under the Plan, Executive and each person claiming under or through Executive shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee or its delegates. |
12. | In accepting the award of Units, Executive acknowledges that (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan; (ii) the award of Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Units, or benefits in lieu of Units even if Units have been awarded repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (iv) Executive’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (v) the award of Units is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or to Executive’s employer, and the Units are outside the scope of Executive’s employment contract, if any; (vi) the Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (vii) neither the award of the Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or the policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon Executive any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment, and in the event that Executive is not an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Units shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; (viii) this grant of the Units does not establish or imply an employment relationship between Executive and the Company; (ix) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty, (x) if Executive receives Shares, the value of such Shares acquired upon vesting of the Units may increase or decrease in value; (xi) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Units, and no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from any diminution in value of the Units or Shares received upon the vesting of the Units resulting from termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company or the Executive’s employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Executive irrevocably releases the Company and Executive’s employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his entitlement to pursue such claim; (xii) in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Executive’s right to receive Shares pursuant to the Units after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the last date that Executive’s employer pays Executive his last paycheck for regular salary as an employee of Executive’s employer and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Executive is no longer being paid regular salary for this purpose; and (xiii) the Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not automatically transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take-over or transfer of liability. |
13. | The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Executive’s participation in the Plan, or Executive’s acquisition or sale of the Shares underlying the Units. Executive is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. |
14. | The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of these Terms and Conditions, the Appendix and the Plan and rights relating to the Plan and to this Agreement (including the Appendix), shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly under the grant of the Units or the Agreement (including the Appendix), the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Douglas County, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Colorado, where this grant is made and/or to be performed. |
15. | Executive hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, Executive’s employer, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Executive’s participation in the Plan. |
16. | If Executive has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. |
17. | If one or more provisions of this Agreement (including the Appendix) shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (including the Appendix) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed null and void; however, to the extent permissible by law, any provisions which could be deemed null and void shall first be construed, interpreted or revised retroactively to permit this Agreement to be construed as to foster the intent of this Agreement, the Appendix and the Plan. |
18. | Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in the case of Executive’s termination of employment due to death, Disability or for an eligible reason under the Executive Severance Policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of a Change in Control, in order for the restrictions on the Units to lapse the Company must achieve as a Performance Measure not less than $1,500,000,000 of combined consolidated operating income for the period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2018, as determined by the Committee from the Corporation’s annual financial statements. |
19. | Executive acknowledges that Executive has read the Company’s Clawback Policy. In consideration of the grant of the Units, Executive agrees to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy and any determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Board determines that any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Company’s Clawback Policy) received by or paid to Executive resulted from any financial result or performance metric that was impacted by Executive’s misconduct or fraud and that compensation should be recovered from Executive (such amount being recovered, the “Clawbacked Compensation”), then upon such determination, the Board may recover such Clawbacked Compensation by (a) cancelling all or any portion of the unvested Units (the “Clawbacked Portion”) and, in such case, the Clawbacked Portion of the unvested Units shall automatically and without further action of the Company be cancelled, (b) requiring Executive to deliver to the Company the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units (to the extent held by Executive), (c) requiring Executive to repay to the Company any net proceeds resulting from the Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Units or (d) any combination of the remedies set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c). The foregoing remedies are in addition to and separate from any other relief available to the Company due to Executive’s misconduct or fraud. Any determination by the Board with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Executive and all persons claiming through Executive. |
20. | The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Units granted, under and, participation in the Plan or future Units that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request Executive’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Executive hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. |
21. | Notwithstanding any provisions in the Agreement or the Plan, the grant of Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions as set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement for Executive’s country of residence. The Appendix constitutes part of the Agreement. |
22. | The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Executive’s participation in the Plan, on the grant of Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require Executive to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. |
23. | To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive’s “termination of employment,” such term shall be deemed to refer to Executive’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code if the Executive is subject to tax in the U.S. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon Executive’s separation from service and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the six-month anniversary of the separation from service or (b) the date of Executive’s death. |
1. | These Terms and Conditions, including the attached Appendix, form part of your Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which you have been granted a Nonqualified Stock Option (“Stock Option”) under The Western Union Company 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan is enclosed for your convenience. The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof. Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. |
2. | The number of common shares of The Western Union Company (the “Company”) subject to the Stock Option, the grant date of the Stock Option and the option exercise price are all specified in the attached Award Notice (which forms part of the Agreement). |
3. | Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, you will “vest” in, or have the right to exercise, this Stock Option as follows: |
(a) | On or after the first anniversary and until the tenth anniversary of the grant date, you may exercise this Stock Option for up to one-fourth (25%) of the total number of shares covered hereby; |
(b) | On or after the second anniversary and until the tenth anniversary of the grant date, you may exercise this Stock Option for up to one-half (50%) of the total number of shares covered hereby; |
(c) | On or after the third anniversary and until the tenth anniversary of the grant date, you may exercise this Stock Option for up to three-fourths (75%) of the total number of shares covered hereby; |
(d) | On or after the fourth anniversary and until the tenth anniversary of the grant date, you may exercise this Stock Option with respect to the total number of shares covered hereby; |
(e) | No part of this Stock Option may be exercised after the tenth anniversary of the grant date listed in the Award Notice; and |
(f) | If you are an eligible participant in the Company’s Severance/Change in Control Policy (Executive Committee Level) at the time of a Change in Control and your employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for an eligible reason under such policy during the 24-month period commencing on the effective date of the Change in Control, then this Stock Option shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable effective on the date of your termination and may thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the end of your severance period under such Policy or, if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. |
4. | This Stock Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless the following conditions are met: |
(a) | Legal counsel for the Company must be satisfied at the time of exercise that the issuance of shares upon exercise will comply with applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws. |
(b) | You pay the exercise price as follows: (i) by giving notice to the Company or its designee of the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and by making payment therefor in full (or arranging for such payment to the Company's satisfaction) either (A) in cash, (B) except as may be prohibited by applicable law, in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company and to whom you have submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise (i.e., also known as “cashless exercise”) or (C) |
(c) | You must, at all times during the period beginning with the grant date of this Stock Option and ending on the date of such exercise, have been employed by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or have been engaged in a period of Related Employment, with certain exceptions noted below. Service on the Board after receipt of a Stock Option shall not be considered a termination of employment. |
(d) | You have executed and returned to the Company or accepted electronically an updated restrictive covenant agreement (and exhibits) if requested by the Company which may contain certain noncompete, nonsolicitation and/or nondisclosure provisions. While a court may sever any provision in the restrictive covenant agreement, you agree by executing or electronically accepting the restrictive covenant agreement that you will forfeit this Stock Option, whether vested or not, if you do not abide by the restrictive covenant agreement as written. |
5. | Absent a period of Related Employment or service on the Board subsequent to the grant date, if you terminate employment or cease providing services to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate while holding this Stock Option, your right to exercise the Stock Option and the time during which you may exercise the Stock Option depends on the reason for your termination. |
(a) | Disability. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, this Stock Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the date which is one year after the effective date of your termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. |
(b) | Retirement. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of Retirement, this Stock Option, to the extent not already vested, shall vest on a prorated basis on the effective date of your termination of employment or service. Such prorated vesting shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares covered by the unvested portion of this Stock Option by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed between the grant date and the effective date of your termination of employment or service and the denominator of which is the number of days between the grant date and the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The unvested portion of this Stock Option that does not become vested under such calculation shall be forfeited effective on your termination date and shall be canceled by the Company. The vested portion of this Stock Option, including any portion that had previously become vested and the prorated portion that vests effective on your termination date in accordance with the above calculation may be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the earlier of (i) the date which is two years after the effective date of your termination of employment or service or the last day of your severance period under the Company’s Severance/Change in Control Policy (Executive Committee Level) if you qualify for benefits under such policy in connection with your termination, whichever is later, or (ii) the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. In administering the Plan, the Committee reserves the right to treat your termination of employment due to Retirement the same as "Other Termination" (as defined in this Agreement) in the event that application of the immediately preceding sentence would be deemed to be impermissible age discrimination under local law, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. |
(c) | Death. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates by reason of death, this Stock Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by your executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the date of death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. |
(d) | Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Except to the extent paragraph 3(f) applies, if your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is terminated involuntarily and without Cause and you are an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy applicable to members of the Company’s Executive Committee, subject to the terms of such policy, the unvested portion of this Stock Option shall vest on a prorated basis effective on your termination date. Such prorated vesting shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares covered by the unvested portion of this Stock Option by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed between the grant date and the effective date of your termination of employment or service and the denominator of which is the number of days between the grant date and the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The unvested portion of this Stock Option that does not become vested under such calculation shall be forfeited effective on your termination date and shall be canceled by the Company. The vested portion of this Stock Option, including any portion that had previously become vested and the prorated portion that vests effective on your termination date in accordance with the above calculation may be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the end of your severance period under such Policy or, if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is terminated involuntarily and without Cause and you are not an eligible participant in the Severance/Change in Control Policy applicable to members of the Company’s Executive Committee on the date of such termination, this Stock Option shall cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may |
(e) | Termination for Cause. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the close of the New York Stock Exchange (if open) on the date of your termination of employment or service. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed at the time of your termination of employment, this Stock Option shall be forfeited at the time your employment is terminated and shall be canceled by the Company. |
(f) | Other Termination. If your employment with or service to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate terminates for any reason other than Disability, Retirement, death, involuntary termination without Cause, or termination for Cause, this Stock Option shall cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by you (or your legal representative or similar person) until the close of the New York Stock Exchange (if open) on the date which is the thirtieth (30th) day following your termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on the thirtieth (30th) day following your termination of employment or service, then your unexpired Stock Option may be exercised until the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the next following day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open, after which time this Stock Option shall be forfeited and canceled by the Company. |
(g) | Death Following Termination of Employment or Service. If you die during the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period, this Stock Option will be exercisable only to the extent that the Stock Option is exercisable on the date of your death and may thereafter be exercised by your executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the date of your death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of this Stock Option. |
6. | Subject to any restrictions imposed by local law, so long as you continue to be a member of the Executive Committee of the Company, you may transfer this Stock Option to a Family Member or Family Entity without consideration; provided, however, in the case of a transfer of this Stock Option to a limited liability company or a partnership which is a Family Entity, such transfer may be for consideration consisting solely of an entity interest in the limited liability company or partnership to which the transfer is made. Any transfer of this Stock Option shall be in a form acceptable to the Committee, shall be signed by you and shall be effective only upon written acknowledgement by the Committee of its receipt and acceptance of such notice. If this Stock Option is transferred to a Family Member or Family Entity, the Stock Option may not thereafter be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by such Family Member or Family Entity except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee has delegated its responsibilities under this paragraph 6 to the Company’s General Counsel. |
7. | The Company shall have the right to require, as of the grant, vesting or exercise of an option and the sale of any shares of stock received upon exercise of an option, that you (or any person acting under Paragraph 5 above): |
(a) | Pay to the Company or its designee, upon its demand, such amount as may be requested for the purpose of satisfying its obligation or the obligation of any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or other person to withhold U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income, employment or other taxes incurred by reason of the shares. You may satisfy your obligation to pay such amounts by authorizing the Company to withhold from your wages or other cash compensation, from proceeds from the sale of shares or from the shares purchased by you pursuant to the exercise shares having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the withholding amount. If the amount requested for the purpose of satisfying the withholding obligation is not paid, the Company may refuse to allow you to exercise the option; and |
(b) | Provide the Company with any forms, documents or other information reasonably required by the Company in connection with the grant. |
(c) | Regardless of any action the Company or my employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including foreign, federal, state and local taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to my participation in the Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by me is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. I further acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Options, including the grant of the Stock Options, the exercise |
(d) | Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event (“Tax Date”), as applicable, I will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Company and/or the Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (A) accept a cash payment in U.S. dollars in the amount of the Tax-Related Items, (B) withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to me having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash from my wages or other cash compensation which would otherwise be payable to me by the Company or the Employer or from any equivalent cash payment received upon exercise of the Stock Options, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (C) withhold from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon issuance of the Stock Options either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on my behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (D) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom I have submitted an irrevocable notice of sale. |
(e) | Finally, I shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of my participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue shares of Common Stock to me if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described herein. |
8. | The terms of this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such amendment shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of yours under this Agreement without your written consent. |
9. | Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on you and all persons claiming under or through you.

11. | In accepting the grant, you acknowledge that: (i) the Plan is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company or the Committee at any time; (ii) the grant of the Stock Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Stock Options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to any such future grants will be at the sole discretion of the Committee; (iv) your participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with your Employer (“Employer”) and shall not interfere with the ability of your Employer to terminate your employment relationship at any time with or without cause; (v) your participation in the Plan is voluntary; (vi) the value of the option is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of your employment contract, if any; (vii) the options are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (viii) in the event of involuntary termination of your employment, your right to receive options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that you are no longer actively employed regardless of any reasonable notice period mandated under local law (including but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law) and the right to receive grants of options will not continue during any required notice period; (ix) the options have not been granted to you in consideration of your employment with your Employer, but is purely a gratuity extended by the Company at its sole discretion, and the option grant can in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is your employer or that you have an employment relationship with the |

14. | You acknowledge that you have read the Company’s Clawback Policy. In consideration of the grant of this Stock Option, you agree to abide by the Company’s Clawback Policy as it may be amended from time to time, and any determinations of the Board pursuant to the Clawback Policy.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
Business and Basis of Presentation | Business and Basis of Presentation Business The Western Union Company ("Western Union" or the "Company") is a leader in global money movement and payment services, providing people and businesses with fast, reliable and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union® brand is globally recognized. The Company's services are primarily available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories. Each location in the Company's agent network is capable of providing one or more of the Company's services. The Western Union business consists of the following segments:
All businesses that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as "Other" and include the Company's money order and other services, in addition to costs for the review and closing of acquisitions. There are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring certain assets of the Company outside of the countries where these assets are located. However, there are generally no limitations on the use of these assets within those countries. Additionally, the Company must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses. As of December 31, 2015, the amount of net assets subject to these limitations totaled approximately $300 million, and there have been no material changes to these limitations subsequent to that date. Various aspects of the Company's services and businesses are subject to United States federal, state and local regulation, as well as regulation by foreign jurisdictions, including certain banking and other financial services regulations. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated as of March 31, 2016 and for all periods presented. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of March 31, 2016 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company's settlement obligations contrasted with the Company's ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement that requires capitalized debt issuance costs to be presented as a reduction to the carrying value of debt, with adoption retrospective for periods previously presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in a reduction of $9.7 million to the "Other assets" and "Borrowings" lines within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding revenue from contracts with customers. This new standard provides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding classification and measurement of financial instruments. This new standard provides guidance on how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value. This standard requires that entities measure certain equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding the financial reporting of leasing transactions. This new standard requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations arising from leases with terms of more than 12 months. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding share-based payments to employees. This new standard requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense (benefit) in the income statement and that excess tax benefits be included as an operating activity for the cash flow statement, allows entities to either estimate share-based awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and changes the tax withholding threshold for awards to qualify for accounting in equity. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2017. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options, the unamortized compensation expense and assumed tax benefits of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 5.9 million and 8.9 million, respectively, of outstanding options to purchase shares of Western Union stock excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as their effect was anti-dilutive. The following table provides the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding (in millions):

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value, as defined by the relevant accounting standards, represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on how the Company measures fair value, refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The following tables reflect assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):
No non-recurring fair value adjustments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Other Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts for many of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, settlement cash and cash equivalents, and settlement receivables and settlement obligations approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company's borrowings are classified as Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, and the aggregate fair value of these borrowings was based on quotes from multiple banks and excluded the impact of related interest rate swaps. Fixed rate notes are carried in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their original issuance values as adjusted over time to accrete that value to par, except for portions of notes hedged by these interest rate swaps, as disclosed in Note 8. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value and fair value of the Company's borrowings was $3,225.7 million and $3,300.3 million, respectively (see Note 9). As of December 31, 2015, the carrying value and fair value of the Company's borrowings was $3,215.9 million and $3,279.6 million, respectively. The Company's investments in foreign corporate debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity securities within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and are recorded at amortized cost in "Other Assets" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value and fair value of the Company's foreign corporate debt securities was $24.4 million and $24.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the carrying value and fair value of the Company's foreign corporate debt securities was $9.3 million. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees The Company had approximately $80 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of March 31, 2016. The letters of credit and bank guarantees are primarily held in connection with lease arrangements and certain agent agreements. The letters of credit and bank guarantees have expiration dates through 2020, with many having a one-year renewal option. The Company expects to renew the letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration in most circumstances. Litigation and Related Contingencies The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation that could result in losses, including damages, fines and/or civil penalties, which could be significant, and in some cases, criminal charges. The Company regularly evaluates the status of legal matters to assess whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable in determining whether an accrual is appropriate. Furthermore, in determining whether disclosure is appropriate, the Company evaluates each legal matter to assess if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made. Unless otherwise specified below, the Company believes that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for each of the matters described below. For certain of these matters, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of loss because, among other reasons: (a) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (b) specific damages have not been sought; (c) damage claims are unsupported and/or unreasonable; (d) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (e) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or (f) novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories are being asserted. State of Arizona Settlement Agreement On February 11, 2010, Western Union Financial Services, Inc. ("WUFSI"), a subsidiary of the Company, signed a settlement agreement ("Southwest Border Agreement"), which resolved all outstanding legal issues and claims with the State of Arizona (the "State") and required the Company to fund a multi-state not-for-profit organization promoting safety and security along the United States and Mexico border, in which California, Texas and New Mexico are participating with Arizona. As part of the Southwest Border Agreement, the Company has made and expects to make certain investments in its compliance programs along the United States and Mexico border and a monitor (the "Monitor") has been engaged for those programs. The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant costs in connection with the Southwest Border Agreement. The Monitor has made a number of primary and secondary recommendations related to the Company's compliance programs, which the Company is implementing, including programs related to the Company's Business Solutions segment. On January 31, 2014, the Southwest Border Agreement was amended to extend its term until December 31, 2017 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment imposes additional obligations on the Company and WUFSI in connection with WUFSI’s anti-money laundering ("AML") compliance programs and cooperation with law enforcement. In particular, the Amendment requires WUFSI to continue implementing the primary and secondary recommendations made by the Monitor appointed pursuant to the Southwest Border Agreement related to WUFSI’s AML compliance program, and includes, among other things, timeframes for implementing such primary and secondary recommendations. Under the Amendment, the Monitor could make additional primary recommendations until January 1, 2015 and may make additional secondary recommendations until January 31, 2017. After these dates, the Monitor may only make additional primary or secondary recommendations, as applicable, that meet certain requirements as set forth in the Amendment. Primary recommendations may also be re-classified as secondary recommendations. The Amendment provides that if WUFSI is unable to implement an effective AML compliance program along the U.S. and Mexico border, as determined by the Monitor and subject to limited judicial review, within the timeframes to implement the Monitor’s primary recommendations, the State may, within 180 days after the Monitor delivers its final report on the primary recommendations on December 31, 2016, and subsequent to any judicial review of the Monitor’s findings, elect one, and only one, of the following remedies: (i) assert a willful and material breach of the Southwest Border Agreement and pursue remedies under the Southwest Border Agreement, which could include initiating civil or criminal actions; or (ii) require WUFSI to pay (a) $50 million plus (b) $1 million per primary recommendation or group of primary recommendations that WUFSI fails to implement successfully. There are currently more than 70 primary recommendations and groups of primary recommendations. If the Monitor concludes that WUFSI has implemented an effective AML compliance program along the U.S. and Mexico border within the timeframes to implement the Monitor’s primary recommendations, the State cannot pursue either of the remedies above, except that the State may require WUFSI to pay $1 million per primary recommendation or group of primary recommendations that WUFSI fails to implement successfully. If, at the conclusion of the timeframe to implement the secondary recommendations on December 31, 2017, the Monitor concludes that WUFSI has not implemented an effective AML compliance program along the U.S. and Mexico border, the State cannot assert a willful and material breach of the Southwest Border Agreement but may require WUFSI to pay an additional $25 million. Additionally, if the Monitor determines that WUFSI has implemented an effective AML compliance program along the U.S. and Mexico border but has not implemented some of the Monitor’s secondary recommendations or groups of secondary recommendations that were originally classified as primary recommendations or groups of primary recommendations on the date of the Amendment, the State may require WUFSI to pay $500,000 per such secondary recommendation or group of recommendations. There is no monetary penalty associated with secondary recommendations that are classified as such on the date of the Amendment or any new secondary recommendations that the Monitor makes after the date of the Amendment. There are currently 15 secondary recommendations and groups of secondary recommendations. The Amendment requires WUFSI to continue funding the Monitor’s reasonable expenses in $500,000 increments as requested by the Monitor. The Amendment also requires WUFSI to make a one-time payment of $250,000, which was paid in March 2014, and thereafter $150,000 per month for five years to fund the activities and expenses of a money transfer transaction data analysis center formed by WUFSI and a Financial Crimes Task Force comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement representatives, including those from the State. In addition, California, Texas, and New Mexico are participating in the money transfer transaction data analysis center. The changes in WUFSI’s AML compliance program required by the Southwest Border Agreement, including the Amendment, and the Monitor’s recommendations have had, and will continue to have, adverse effects on the Company’s business, including additional costs. Additionally, if WUFSI is not able to implement a successful AML compliance program along the U.S. and Mexico border or timely implement the Monitor’s recommendations, each as determined by the Monitor, the State may pursue remedies under the Southwest Border Agreement and Amendment, including assessment of fines and civil and criminal actions. The Company submitted all of the primary recommendations to the Monitor for review prior to an October 31, 2015 deadline and is currently in the process of demonstrating its compliance with the primary recommendations, but is unable to predict whether the Monitor will conclude that WUFSI has implemented an effective AML compliance program and whether the Monitor's primary and secondary recommendations have been successfully implemented. Based on the stage of this matter, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. Should the State pursue remedies under the Southwest Border Agreement, the Company could face significant fines and actions which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. United States Department of Justice Investigations On March 20, 2012, the Company was served with a federal grand jury subpoena issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California ("USAO-CDCA") seeking documents relating to Shen Zhou International ("US Shen Zhou"), a former Western Union agent located in Monterey Park, California. The principal of US Shen Zhou was indicted in 2010 and in December 2013, pled guilty to one count of structuring international money transfers in violation of United States federal law in U.S. v. Zhi He Wang (SA CR 10-196, C.D. Cal.). Concurrent with the government's service of the subpoena, the government notified the Company that it is a target of an ongoing investigation into structuring and money laundering. Since March 20, 2012, the Company has received additional subpoenas from the USAO-CDCA seeking additional documents relating to US Shen Zhou, materials relating to certain other former and current agents and other materials relating to the Company's AML compliance policies and procedures. The government has interviewed several current and former Western Union employees and has served grand jury subpoenas seeking testimony from several current and former employees. The government's investigation is ongoing and the Company may receive additional requests for information as part of the investigation. The Company has provided and continues to provide information and documents to the government. Due to the investigative stage of the matter and the fact that no criminal charges or civil claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the government's investigation, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company. Should such charges or claims be brought, the Company could face significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In March 2012, the Company was served with a federal grand jury subpoena issued by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“USAO-EDPA”) seeking documents relating to Hong Fai General Contractor Corp. (formerly known as Yong General Construction) (“Hong Fai”), a former Western Union agent located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since March 2012, the Company has received additional subpoenas from the USAO-EDPA seeking additional documents relating to Hong Fai. The government's investigation is ongoing and the Company may receive additional requests for information as part of the investigation. The Company has provided and continues to provide information and documents to the government. The government has interviewed several current and former Western Union employees. Due to the investigative stage of the matter and the fact that no criminal charges or civil claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the government's investigation, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company. Should such charges or claims be brought, the Company could face significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. On November 25, 2013, the Company was served with a federal grand jury subpoena issued by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (“USAO-MDPA”) seeking documents relating to complaints made to the Company by consumers anywhere in the world relating to fraud-induced money transfers since January 1, 2008. Concurrent with the government's service of the subpoena, the government notified the Company that it is the subject of the investigation. Since November 25, 2013, the Company has received additional subpoenas from the USAO-MDPA seeking documents relating to certain Western Union agents and Western Union’s agent suspension and termination policies. The government has interviewed several current and former employees and has served grand jury subpoenas seeking testimony from several current and former employees. The government has indicated that it believes Western Union failed to timely terminate or suspend certain Western Union agents who allegedly paid or forwarded thousands of fraud-induced transactions sent from the United States to various countries from at least 2008 to 2012. The government's investigation is ongoing and the Company may receive additional requests for information as part of the investigation. The Company has provided and continues to provide information and documents to the government. Due to the investigative stage of the matter and the fact that no criminal charges or civil claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the government's investigation, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company. Should such charges or claims be brought, the Company could face significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. On March 6, 2014, the Company was served with a federal grand jury subpoena issued by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (“USAO-SDFL”) seeking a variety of AML compliance materials, including documents relating to the Company’s AML, Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”), Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”) and Currency Transaction Report procedures, transaction monitoring protocols, BSA and AML training programs and publications, AML compliance investigation reports, compliance-related agent termination files, SARs, BSA audits, BSA and AML-related management reports and AML compliance staffing levels. The subpoena also calls for Board meeting minutes and organization charts. The period covered by the subpoena is January 1, 2007 to November 27, 2013. The Company has received additional subpoenas from the USAO-SDFL and the Broward County, Florida Sheriff’s Office relating to the investigation, including a federal grand jury subpoena issued by the USAO-SDFL on March 14, 2014, seeking information about 33 agent locations in Costa Rica such as ownership and operating agreements, SARs and AML compliance and BSA filings for the period January 1, 2008 to November 27, 2013. Subsequently, the USAO-SDFL served the Company with seizure warrants requiring the Company to seize all money transfers sent from the United States to two agent locations located in Costa Rica for a 10-day period beginning in late March 2014. On July 8, 2014, the government served a grand jury subpoena calling for records relating to transactions sent from the United States to Nicaragua and Panama between September 1, 2013 and October 31, 2013. Further, the government recently served Western Union with a subpoena calling for data relating to transactions sent and received by 43 Nicaraguan agents from October 1, 2008 to October 31, 2013 and transactions sent from the United States to the Bahamas, Peru, Dominican Republic, and Haiti from September 1, 2013 to January 2, 2014 and certain documents relating to those agents. The government also advised the Company that it is investigating concerns the Company was aware there were gaming transactions being sent to Panama, Nicaragua, Haiti, Philippines, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Antigua, and the Bahamas (in addition to Costa Rica) and that the Company failed to take proper steps to stop the activity. The government has also notified the Company that it is a target of the investigation. The government has interviewed several current and former Western Union employees. The government's investigation is ongoing and the Company may receive additional requests for information or seizure warrants as part of the investigation. The Company has provided and continues to provide information and documents to the government. Due to the investigative stage of the matter and the fact that no criminal charges or civil claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the government's investigation, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible charges or claims that may be brought against the Company. Should such charges or claims be brought, the Company could face significant fines, damage awards or regulatory consequences which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Other Matters The Company and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in two purported class action lawsuits: James P. Tennille v. The Western Union Company and Robert P. Smet v. The Western Union Company, both of which are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The original complaints asserted claims for violation of various consumer protection laws, unjust enrichment, conversion and declaratory relief, based on allegations that the Company waits too long to inform consumers if their money transfers are not redeemed by the recipients and that the Company uses the unredeemed funds to generate income until the funds are escheated to state governments. The Tennille complaint was served on the Company on April 27, 2009. The Smet complaint was served on the Company on April 6, 2010. On September 21, 2009, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the Tennille complaint and gave the plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint. On October 21, 2009, Tennille filed an amended complaint. The Company moved to dismiss the Tennille amended complaint and the Smet complaint. On November 8, 2010, the Court denied the motion to dismiss as to the plaintiffs' unjust enrichment and conversion claims. On February 4, 2011, the Court dismissed the plaintiffs' consumer protection claims. On March 11, 2011, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that adds a claim for breach of fiduciary duty, various elements to its declaratory relief claim and WUFSI as a defendant. On April 25, 2011, the Company and WUFSI filed a motion to dismiss the breach of fiduciary duty and declaratory relief claims. WUFSI also moved to compel arbitration of the plaintiffs' claims and to stay the action pending arbitration. On November 21, 2011, the Court denied the motion to compel arbitration and the stay request. Both companies appealed the decision. On January 24, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit granted the companies' request to stay the District Court proceedings pending their appeal. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the parties executed a settlement agreement, which the Court preliminarily approved on January 3, 2013. On June 25, 2013, the Court entered an order certifying the class and granting final approval to the settlement. Under the approved settlement, a substantial amount of the settlement proceeds, as well as all of the class counsel’s fees, administrative fees and other expenses, would be paid from the class members' unclaimed money transfer funds, which are included within "Settlement obligations" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These fees and other expenses are currently estimated to be approximately $50 million. During the final approval hearing, the Court overruled objections to the settlement that had been filed by several class members. In July 2013, two of those class members filed notices of appeal. On May 1, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision to overrule the objections filed by the two class members who appealed. On January 11, 2016, the United States Supreme Court denied petitions for certiorari that were filed by the two class members who appealed. On February 1, 2016, pursuant to the settlement agreement and the Court's June 25, 2013 final approval order, Western Union deposited the class members' unclaimed money transfer funds into a class settlement fund, from which class member claims, administrative fees and class counsel’s fees, as well as other expenses will be paid. On November 6, 2013, the Attorney General of California notified Western Union of the California Controller’s position that Western Union’s deposit of the unclaimed money transfer funds into the class settlement fund pursuant to the settlement “will not satisfy Western Union’s obligations to report and remit funds” under California’s unclaimed property law, and that “Western Union will remain liable to the State of California” for the funds that would have escheated to California in the absence of the settlement. The State of Pennsylvania and District of Columbia have previously expressed similar views. Other states have also recently expressed concerns about the settlement and many have not yet expressed an opinion. Since some states and jurisdictions believe that the Company must escheat its full share of the settlement fund and that the deductions for class counsel's fees, administrative costs, and other expenses that are required under the settlement agreement are not permitted, there is a reasonable possibility a loss could result up to approximately the amount of those fees and other expenses. However, given the number of jurisdictions involved and the fact that no actions have been brought, the Company is unable to provide a more precise estimate of the range of possible loss. The Company has had discussions with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") regarding the Company's consumer protection and anti-fraud programs. On December 12, 2012, the Company received a civil investigative demand from the FTC requesting that the Company produce (i) all documents relating to communications with the Monitor appointed pursuant to the Southwest Border Agreement, including information the Company provided to the Monitor and any reports prepared by the Monitor; and (ii) all documents relating to complaints made to the Company by consumers anywhere in the world relating to fraud-induced money transfers since January 1, 2011. On April 15, 2013, the FTC filed a petition in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York requesting an order to compel production of the requested documents. On June 6, 2013, the Court granted in part and denied in part the FTC's request. On August 14, 2013, the FTC filed a notice of appeal. On August 27, 2013, Western Union filed a notice of cross-appeal. On February 21, 2014, the Company received another civil investigative demand from the FTC requesting the production of all documents relating to complaints made to the Company by or on behalf of consumers relating to fraud-induced money transfers that were sent from or received in the United States since January 1, 2004, except for documents that were already produced to the FTC in response to the first civil investigative demand. On October 7, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit entered a summary order reversing in part and vacating and remanding in part the June 6, 2013 order entered by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On October 22, 2014, the Company received another civil investigative demand issued by the FTC requesting documents and information since January 1, 2004 relating to the Company’s consumer fraud program, its policies and procedures governing agent termination, suspension, probation and reactivation, its efforts to comply with its 2005 agreement with 47 states and the District of Columbia regarding consumer fraud prevention, and complaints made to the Company by or on behalf of consumers concerning fraud-induced money transfers that were sent to or from the United States, excluding complaint-related documents that were produced to the FTC in response to the earlier civil investigative demands. The civil investigative demand also seeks various documents concerning approximately 720 agents, including documents relating to the transactions they sent and paid and the Company’s investigations of and communications with them. On July 31, 2015, the Company received another civil investigative demand requesting documents and information relating to the total number of agent and subagent locations in 13 countries annually since 2010, the average and median dollar values for money transfers sent anywhere in the world annually since 2010, copies of the Company’s anti-fraud programs, know your agent policy, know your customer policy, representative agent contracts, transaction data, background investigation documents and fraud complaints associated with four agents in Greece, Peru and Mexico and consumer fraud reports not already produced to the FTC. The Company has responded to each of the civil investigative demands it has received from the FTC. The Company may receive additional civil investigative demands from the FTC, and discussions between the Company and the FTC are ongoing. Due to the investigative stage of the matter and the fact that no claims have been brought, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the government’s investigation, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with the resolution of any possible claims that may be brought against the Company. On March 12, 2014, Jason Douglas filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., based on allegations that since 2009, the Company has sent text messages to class members’ wireless telephones without their consent. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company's insurance carrier and the plaintiff reached an agreement to create an $8.5 million settlement fund that will be used to pay all class member claims, class counsel’s fees and the costs of administering the settlement. The agreement has been signed by the parties and, on November 10, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement. The Company accrued an amount equal to the retention under its insurance policy in previous quarters and believes that any amounts in excess of this accrual will be covered by the insurer. However, if the Company's insurer is unable to or refuses to satisfy its obligations under the policy or the parties are unable to reach a definitive agreement or otherwise agree on a resolution, the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely impacted. As the parties have reached an agreement in this matter, the Company believes that the potential for additional loss in excess of amounts already accrued is remote. On February 10, 2015, Caryn Pincus filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Speedpay, Inc. (“Speedpay”), a subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims based on allegations that Speedpay imposed an unlawful surcharge on credit card transactions and that Speedpay engages in money transmission without a license. The complaint requests certification of a class and two subclasses generally comprised of consumers in Florida who made a payment through Speedpay’s bill payment services using a credit card and were charged a surcharge for such payment during the four-year and five-year periods prior to the filing of the complaint through the date of class certification. On April 6, 2015, Speedpay filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On April 23, 2015, in response to the motion to dismiss, Pincus filed an amended complaint that adds claims (1) under the Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act, which authorizes civil remedies for certain criminal conduct; and (2) for violation of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. On May 15, 2015, Speedpay filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 6, 2015, the Court entered an order denying Speedpay’s motion to dismiss. On October 20, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the amended complaint. On December 1, 2015, Pincus filed a second amended complaint that revised her factual allegations, but added no new claims. On December 18, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the second amended complaint. As this action is in a preliminary stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with this action. Speedpay intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. In addition to the principal matters described above, the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the Company's business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. On January 26, 2006, the First Data Corporation ("First Data") Board of Directors announced its intention to pursue the distribution of all of its money transfer and consumer payments business and its interest in a Western Union money transfer agent, as well as its related assets, including real estate, through a tax-free distribution to First Data shareholders (the “Spin-off”). The Spin-off resulted in the formation of the Company and these assets and businesses no longer being part of First Data. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement with First Data in connection with the Spin-off, First Data and the Company are each liable for, and agreed to perform, all liabilities with respect to their respective businesses. In addition, the separation and distribution agreement also provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of the Company's business with the Company and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of First Data's retained businesses with First Data. The Company also entered into a tax allocation agreement that sets forth the rights and obligations of First Data and the Company with respect to taxes imposed on their respective businesses both prior to and after the Spin-off as well as potential tax obligations for which the Company may be liable in conjunction with the Spin-off (see Note 10). |

Settlement Assets and Obligations and Non-Settlement Related Investments | Settlement Assets and Obligations and Non-Settlement Related Investments Settlement assets represent funds received or to be received from agents for unsettled money transfers, money orders and consumer payments. The Company records corresponding settlement obligations relating to amounts payable under money transfers, money orders and consumer payment service arrangements. Settlement assets and obligations also include amounts receivable from, and payable to, customers for the value of their cross-currency payment transactions related to the Business Solutions segment. Settlement assets and obligations consisted of the following (in millions):
Investment securities included in "Settlement assets" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed rate term notes and variable rate demand notes. Variable rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week, but have varying maturities through 2051. Generally, these securities are used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and are held for short periods of time, typically less than 30 days. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable state and foreign country requirements. The substantial majority of the Company's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of related deferred taxes. Gains and losses on investments are calculated using the specific-identification method and are recognized during the period in which the investment is sold or when an investment experiences an other-than-temporary decline in value. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $0.3 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The decline in proceeds from the sale and maturity of available-for-sale securities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior period was primarily due to reduced sales of variable rate demand note securities. The components of investment securities are as follows (in millions):
____________
The following summarizes the contractual maturities of settlement-related debt securities as of March 31, 2016 (in millions):
Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations or the Company may have the right to put the obligation prior to its contractual maturity, as with variable rate demand notes. Variable rate demand notes, having a fair value of $2.9 million, $7.0 million and $135.9 million are included in the "Due after 1 year through 5 years" "Due after 5 years through 10 years," and "Due after 10 years" categories, respectively, in the table above. The significant majority of the held-to-maturity foreign corporate debt securities are due within 1 year. |

Derivatives | Derivatives The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the euro, and to a lesser degree the British pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, and other currencies, related to forecasted money transfer revenues and on money transfer settlement assets and obligations as well as on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. The Company is also exposed to risk from derivative contracts written to its customers arising from its cross-currency Business Solutions payments operations. Additionally, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk related to changes in market rates both prior to and subsequent to the issuance of debt. The Company uses derivatives to (a) minimize its exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and (b) facilitate cross-currency Business Solutions payments by writing derivatives to customers. The Company executes derivatives with established financial institutions, with the substantial majority of these financial institutions having credit ratings of "A-" or better from a major credit rating agency. The Company also writes Business Solutions derivatives mostly with small and medium size enterprises. The primary credit risk inherent in derivative agreements represents the possibility that a loss may occur from the nonperformance of a counterparty to the agreements. The Company performs a review of the credit risk of these counterparties at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. The Company also monitors the concentration of its contracts with any individual counterparty. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements, but takes action when doubt arises about the counterparties' ability to perform. These actions may include requiring Business Solutions customers to post or increase collateral, and for all counterparties, the possible termination of the related contracts. The Company's hedged foreign currency exposures are in liquid currencies; consequently, there is minimal risk that appropriate derivatives to maintain the hedging program would not be available in the future. Foreign Currency — Consumer-to-Consumer The Company's policy is to use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of March 31, 2016, the Company's longer-term foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation. Accordingly, all changes in the fair value of the hedges not considered effective or portions of the hedge that are excluded from the measure of effectiveness are recognized immediately in "Derivative gains, net" within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities from a few days up to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges. The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2016 were as follows (in millions):
____________________
Foreign Currency — Business Solutions The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions payments foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties (economic hedge contracts). The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company's cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. The resulting foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions comprise Business Solutions foreign exchange revenues. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting hedges. The duration of these derivative contracts at inception is generally less than one year. The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amount of foreign currency derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its Business Solutions operations as of March 31, 2016 was approximately $6.0 billion. The significant majority of customer contracts are written in major currencies such as the Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, and euro. Interest Rate Hedging — Corporate The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rates. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within "Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and "Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps. The Company, at times, utilizes derivatives to hedge the forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the fixed-rate coupon of the debt expected to be issued. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company held interest rate swaps in an aggregate notional amount of $975.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Of this aggregate notional amount held at March 31, 2016, $500.0 million related to notes due in 2017, $300.0 million related to notes due in 2018, and $175.0 million related to notes due in 2020. Balance Sheet The following table summarizes the fair value of derivatives reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in millions):
____________________
The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable have been netted in the following tables to present the Company's net exposure with these counterparties. The Company's rights under these agreements generally allow for transactions to be settled on a net basis, including upon early termination, which could occur upon the counterparty's default, a change in control, or other conditions. In addition, certain of the Company's other agreements include netting provisions, the enforceability of which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and depending on the circumstances. Due to the uncertainty related to the enforceability of these provisions, the derivative balances associated with these agreements are included within "Derivatives that are not or may not be subject to master netting arrangement or similar agreement" in the following tables. In certain circumstances, the Company may require its Business Solutions customers to maintain collateral balances which may mitigate the risk associated with potential customer defaults. The following tables summarize the gross and net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in millions): Offsetting of Derivative Assets

An accumulated other comprehensive pre-tax gain of $20.8 million related to the foreign currency forward contracts is expected to be reclassified into revenue within the next 12 months as of March 31, 2016. Approximately $3.5 million of net losses on the forecasted debt issuance hedges are expected to be recognized in "Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the next 12 months as of March 31, 2016. No amounts have been reclassified into earnings as a result of the underlying transaction being considered probable of not occurring within the specified time period. |

The following summarizes the Company's maturities of borrowings at par value as of March 31, 2016 (in millions):
The Company’s obligations with respect to its outstanding Notes, as described above, rank equally. Term Loan Facility On April 11, 2016, the Company entered into a term loan agreement, which matures in April 2021, providing for an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $575.0 million (the "Term Loan Facility"). The Company may draw term loans under the Term Loan Facility from time to time until October 11, 2016 (the "Commitment Termination Date"). In addition, the Company has the option to increase the commitments under the Term Loan Facility, either before or after the Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate amount up to $250.0 million. Any such increases would be subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing or new lenders under the Term Loan Facility. The Company plans to use the proceeds of the term loans to refinance a portion of the Company’s issued and outstanding 5.930% notes due October 2016 and for general corporate purposes; provided, that no more than $450.0 million in proceeds from the loans under the Term Loan Facility may be used for purposes other than redeeming, repaying, purchasing or refinancing the Company’s notes due October 2016 and paying any fees and expenses in connection with the Term Loan Facility and other related loan documents. The Term Loan Facility contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company's ability to sell or transfer assets or merge or consolidate with another company, grant certain types of security interests, incur certain types of liens, impose restrictions on subsidiary dividends, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, incur certain subsidiary level indebtedness, or use proceeds in violation of anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws. The Term Loan Facility requires the Company to maintain a consolidated adjusted EBITDA interest coverage ratio of greater than 3:1 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. The Term Loan Facility also contains customary representations, warranties and events of default. Generally, interest under the Term Loan Facility is calculated using a selected LIBOR rate plus an interest rate margin of 150 basis points. A commitment fee of 15 basis points on the unused amount of the commitments under the facility is also payable quarterly until the Commitment Termination Date. Both the interest rate margin and commitment fee percentage are based on certain of the Company's credit ratings, and will increase or decrease in the event of certain upgrades or downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings. In addition to the payment of interest, the Company is required to make certain periodic amortization payments with respect to the outstanding principal of the term loans commencing after the second anniversary of the closing of the Term Loan Facility. The final maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is April 11, 2021. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rates on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 14.6% and 12.3%, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the prior period was primarily due to changes in the composition between higher-taxed and lower-taxed foreign earnings and non-recurring prior period tax planning benefits, partially offset by various discrete items. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 103% of the Company's pre-tax income was derived from foreign sources, and the Company currently expects that approximately 99% of the Company's pre-tax income will be derived from foreign sources for the year ending December 31, 2016. Certain portions of the Company's foreign source income are subject to United States federal and state income tax as earned due to the nature of the income, and dividend repatriations of the Company's foreign source income are generally subject to United States federal and state income tax. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company has established contingency reserves for a variety of material, known tax exposures. The Company's tax reserves reflect management's judgment as to the resolution of the issues involved if subject to judicial review or other settlement. While the Company believes its reserves are adequate to cover reasonably expected tax risks, there can be no assurance that, in all instances, an issue raised by a tax authority will be resolved at a financial cost that does not exceed its related reserve. With respect to these reserves, the Company's income tax expense would include (i) any changes in tax reserves arising from material changes in the facts and circumstances (i.e., new information) surrounding a tax issue during the period and (ii) any difference from the Company's tax position as recorded in the financial statements and the final resolution of a tax issue during the period. Such resolution could materially increase or decrease income tax expense in the Company's consolidated financial statements in future periods and could impact operating cash flows. Unrecognized tax benefits represent the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the amounts otherwise recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements, and are reflected in "Income taxes payable" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $108.2 million and $105.6 million, respectively, excluding interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $101.1 million and $96.8 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, excluding interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to unrecognized tax benefits in "Provision for income taxes" in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and records the associated liability in "Income taxes payable" in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized immaterial amounts of interest and penalties during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has accrued $16.0 million and $17.0 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns for the United States, for multiple states and localities, and for various non-United States jurisdictions, and the Company has identified the United States as its major tax jurisdiction, as the income tax imposed by any one foreign country is not material to the Company. The United States federal income tax returns of First Data, which include the Company, are eligible to be examined for 2005 and 2006. The Company's United States federal income tax returns since the Spin-off are also eligible to be examined. The United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed its examination of the United States federal consolidated income tax returns of First Data for 2003 and 2004, which included the Company, and issued a Notice of Deficiency in December 2008. In December 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the IRS resolving substantially all of the issues related to the Company's restructuring of its international operations in 2003 ("IRS Agreement"). As a result of the IRS Agreement, the Company expects to make cash payments of approximately $190 million, plus additional accrued interest, of which $94.1 million has been paid as of March 31, 2016. A substantial majority of these payments were made in the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company expects to pay the remaining amount in 2016 and beyond. The IRS completed its examination of the United States federal consolidated income tax returns of First Data, which include the Company's 2005 and pre-Spin-off 2006 taxable periods and issued its report on October 31, 2012 ("FDC 30-Day Letter"). Furthermore, the IRS completed its examination of the Company's United States federal consolidated income tax returns for the 2006 post-Spin-off period through 2009 and issued its report also on October 31, 2012 ("WU 30-Day Letter"). Both the FDC 30-Day Letter and the WU 30-Day Letter propose tax adjustments affecting the Company, some of which are agreed and some of which are unagreed. Both First Data and the Company filed their respective protests with the IRS Appeals Division on November 28, 2012 related to the unagreed proposed adjustments. Discussions with the IRS concerning these adjustments are ongoing. The Company believes its reserves are adequate with respect to both the agreed and unagreed adjustments. As of March 31, 2016, no provision has been made for United States federal and state income taxes on certain of the Company's outside tax basis differences, which primarily relate to accumulated foreign earnings of approximately $6.2 billion, which have been reinvested and are expected to continue to be reinvested outside the United States indefinitely. Over the last several years, such earnings have been used to pay for the Company's international acquisitions and operations and provide initial Company funding of global principal payouts for Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions transactions. Upon distribution of those earnings to the United States in the form of actual or constructive dividends, the Company would be subject to United States income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits), state income taxes and possible withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries. Such taxes could be significant. Determination of this amount of unrecognized United States deferred tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. Tax Allocation Agreement with First Data The Company and First Data each are liable for taxes imposed on their respective businesses both prior to and after the Spin-off. If such taxes have not been appropriately apportioned between First Data and the Company, subsequent adjustments may occur that may impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Also under the tax allocation agreement, with respect to taxes and other liabilities that result from a final determination that is inconsistent with the anticipated tax consequences of the Spin-off (as set forth in the private letter ruling and relevant tax opinion) ("Spin-off Related Taxes"), the Company will be liable to First Data for any such Spin-off Related Taxes attributable solely to actions taken by or with respect to the Company. In addition, the Company will also be liable for half of any Spin-off Related Taxes (i) that would not have been imposed but for the existence of both an action by the Company and an action by First Data or (ii) where the Company and First Data each take actions that, standing alone, would have resulted in the imposition of such Spin-off Related Taxes. The Company may be similarly liable if it breaches certain representations or covenants set forth in the tax allocation agreement. If the Company is required to indemnify First Data for taxes incurred as a result of the Spin-off being taxable to First Data, it likely would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. First Data generally will be liable for all Spin-off Related Taxes, other than those described above. |

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company granted 0.6 million options at a weighted-average exercise price of $18.19 and 3.0 million performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.66. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 10.1 million outstanding options at a weighted-average exercise price of $17.71, of which 8.0 million options were exercisable at a weighted-average exercise price of $17.94. The Company had 7.4 million performance-based restricted stock units (based on target performance) and restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.48 as of March 31, 2016. The majority of stock units do not provide for the payment of dividend equivalents. For those units, their value is reduced by the net present value of the foregone dividend equivalent payments. |

Segments | Segments As previously described in Note 1, the Company classifies its businesses into three segments: Consumer-to-Consumer, Consumer-to-Business and Business Solutions. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker in deciding where to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers. The Company's money transfer service is viewed by the Company as one interconnected global network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another, around the world. The segment includes five geographic regions whose functions are limited to generating, managing and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. The Company includes its online money transfer services initiated through Western Union branded websites ("westernunion.com") in its regions. By means of common processes and systems, these regions, including westernunion.com, create an interconnected network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one global Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer business and one operating segment. The Consumer-to-Business operating segment facilitates bill payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations, including utilities, auto finance companies, mortgage servicers, financial service providers, government agencies and other businesses. The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations and individuals. All businesses that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as "Other" and include the Company's money order and other services. The following table presents the Company's reportable segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively (in millions):

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated as of March 31, 2016 and for all periods presented. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of March 31, 2016 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the Company's settlement obligations contrasted with the Company's ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement that requires capitalized debt issuance costs to be presented as a reduction to the carrying value of debt, with adoption retrospective for periods previously presented. The adoption of this standard resulted in a reduction of $9.7 million to the "Other assets" and "Borrowings" lines within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding revenue from contracts with customers. This new standard provides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding classification and measurement of financial instruments. This new standard provides guidance on how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value. This standard requires that entities measure certain equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding the financial reporting of leasing transactions. This new standard requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations arising from leases with terms of more than 12 months. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding share-based payments to employees. This new standard requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recognized as income tax expense (benefit) in the income statement and that excess tax benefits be included as an operating activity for the cash flow statement, allows entities to either estimate share-based awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and changes the tax withholding threshold for awards to qualify for accounting in equity. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2017. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures |
Earnings Per Share | The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options, the unamortized compensation expense and assumed tax benefits of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect. |
Investment Securities | Investment securities included in "Settlement assets" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including fixed rate term notes and variable rate demand notes. Variable rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week, but have varying maturities through 2051. Generally, these securities are used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and are held for short periods of time, typically less than 30 days. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable state and foreign country requirements. The substantial majority of the Company's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of related deferred taxes. Gains and losses on investments are calculated using the specific-identification method and are recognized during the period in which the investment is sold or when an investment experiences an other-than-temporary decline in value. |
Foreign Currency — Consumer-to-Consumer | Foreign Currency — Consumer-to-Consumer The Company's policy is to use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of March 31, 2016, the Company's longer-term foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue, with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of designation. Accordingly, all changes in the fair value of the hedges not considered effective or portions of the hedge that are excluded from the measure of effectiveness are recognized immediately in "Derivative gains, net" within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities from a few days up to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges. |
Foreign Currency — Business Solutions | Foreign Currency — Business Solutions The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions payments foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties (economic hedge contracts). The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the Company's cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. The resulting foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions comprise Business Solutions foreign exchange revenues. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting hedges. The duration of these derivative contracts at inception is generally less than one year. |
Interest Rate Hedging — Corporate | Interest Rate Hedging — Corporate The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rates. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within "Borrowings" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and "Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps. The Company, at times, utilizes derivatives to hedge the forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in the fixed-rate coupon of the debt expected to be issued. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
