Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the delivery of processing, service and product solutions. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer which may be at a point in time or over time.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s operations are comprised of the Merchant Acceptance (“Acceptance”) segment, the Financial Technology (“Fintech”) segment and the Payments and Network (“Payments”) segment. Additional information regarding the Company’s business segments is included in Note 19. The tables below present the Company’s revenue disaggregated by type of revenue, including a reconciliation with its reportable segments. The majority of the Company’s revenue is earned domestically, with revenue generated outside the United States comprising approximately 14% and 12% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 13% of total revenue for each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

(In millions)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Contract assets	$	500	$	433
Contract liabilities	705		733

Contract assets, reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily result from revenue being recognized where payment is contingent upon the transfer of services to a customer over the contractual period. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers (deferred revenue) for which transfer of control occurs, and therefore revenue is recognized, as services are provided. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognized $350 million of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

The following table includes estimated processing, services and product revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at June 30, 2021:

(In millions)
Year Ending December 31,
Remainder of 2021	$	1,020
2022	1,868
2023	1,565
2024	1,190
Thereafter	2,105

The Company applies the optional exemption under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for account- and transaction-based processing fees that qualify for recognition under the as-invoiced practical expedient. These multi-year contracts contain variable consideration for stand-ready performance obligations for which the exact quantity and mix of transactions to be processed are contingent upon the customer’s request. The Company also applies the optional exemptions under ASC 606 and does not disclose information for variable consideration that is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property or that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service in a series. The amounts disclosed above as remaining performance obligations consist primarily of fixed or monthly minimum processing fees and maintenance fees under contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year.
