Item 1A. Risk Factors
61 rewritten, 12 added, 39 removed, 216 unchanged
[added: If any of the following risks] develop into actual events, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The [added: ongoing COVID-19] pandemic [removed: has negatively impacted] and [removed: may continue] [added: the related government actions taken] to [removed: negatively impact, transaction volumes, create] [added: prevent the spread of COVID-19 have increased] economic uncertainty and financial market [removed: volatility, reduce economic activity, increase unemployment] [added: volatility] and [removed: cause] [added: caused] a decline in consumer and business confidence, and could [removed: in the future] further negatively impact the demand for our products and services, including merchant acquiring and payment processing.
Ultimately, the extent of the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition will depend on, among other matters, the duration and intensity of the pandemic; the level of success of global vaccination efforts; governmental and private sector responses to the pandemic and the impact of such responses on us; and the impact of the pandemic on our employees, clients, vendors, supply chain, operations and sales, all of which are uncertain, difficult to predict and may remain prevalent for a significant period of time even after the pandemic [removed: subsides, including due to a continued or prolonged recession in the U.S. or other major economies.][added: subsides.]
[removed: - Disruption] [added: We may be negatively impacted by a disruption] to our supply chain [removed: and] [added: or] third-party delivery service providers, including [removed: if:] [added: if] the factories that manufacture our point-of-sale devices, payment cards or computer chips for payment cards, or paper stock are temporarily closed or experience workforce shortages; shipping services are interrupted or delayed; there are increased lead times, shortages or higher costs for certain materials and components; or there are workforce shortages at our [removed: or] third-party customer support, software development or technology hosting [removed: facilities;][added: facilities.]
In addition, participants in the financial services, payments and technology industries may merge, create joint ventures or engage in other business combinations, alliances and consolidations that may strengthen their existing [removed: business] [added: products and] services or create new [removed: payment] [added: products and] services that compete with [removed: our services.][added: ours.]
The markets for our products and services are characterized by constant and rapid technological change, [added: evolving industry standards,] frequent introduction of new products and services, and increasing client expectations.
Our ability to [removed: enhance] [added: respond timely to these changes, including by enhancing] our current products and services and [removed: to develop] [added: developing] and [removed: introduce innovative] [added: introducing new] products and [removed: services] [added: services,] will significantly affect our future success.
In addition, the success of certain of our products and services rely, in part, on financial institutions, [removed: corporate] [added: business partners] and other third parties [removed: to promote] [added: promoting] the use of [added: or distributing] our products and [removed: services by their customers.][added: services.]
[removed: If we are unsuccessful in offering products or services that gain market acceptance and compete effectively, or if third parties] insufficiently promote [added: or distribute] our products and services, it would likely have a material adverse effect on our ability to retain existing clients, to attract new ones and to grow profitably.
If we are unable to renew [removed: client] contracts [removed: at] [added: on] favorable [removed: terms,] [added: terms or if contracts are terminated prematurely,] we could lose clients and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Further, our small merchant business clients may seek reduced fees due to pricing competition, their own financial [removed: condition,] [added: condition] or [removed: pressures] [added: pressure] from their customers.
[removed: On some occasions, these] [added: These] factors [added: could] result in lower revenue from a client than we had anticipated based on our [removed: previous] agreement with that client.
If we are not successful in achieving high [added: contract] renewal rates and favorable contract terms, [added: if contracts are terminated, or if we are prevented from performing work for these clients in the future,] our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
[added: There can be no guarantee] that we will achieve growth in our merchant relationships, alliances or other distribution channels.
Any unauthorized access, intrusion, infiltration, network disruption, [added: ransom,] denial of service or similar incident could disrupt the integrity, continuity, security and trust of our systems or data, or the systems or data of our clients, partners or vendors.
We expect that unauthorized parties will continue to attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, and those of our clients, partners and vendors, through various means and with increasing sophistication, particularly as cybercriminals attempt to profit from [removed: the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic given] increased online banking, e-commerce and other online activity.
Although we believe that we maintain a robust program of information security and controls and that none of the events that we have encountered to date have materially impacted us, we cannot be certain that the security measures and procedures we have in place to detect security incidents and protect sensitive data, including protection against unauthorized access and use by our employees, will be successful or sufficient to counter all current and emerging [removed: technological] risks and threats.
Operational failures and resulting interruptions in the [removed: implementation or] availability of our products or services could harm our business and reputation.
Our business depends heavily on the reliability of our [removed: processing and other] systems.
An operational failure [removed: and the resulting implementation delays or service] [added: that results in an] interruption [added: in the availability of our products and services] could harm our business or cause us to lose clients.
Events that could cause operational failures include, but are not limited to, hardware and software defects or malfunctions, [removed: computer] [added: ransomware,] denial-of-service [added: and other cyberattacks, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, natural disasters, pandemics, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or other malware, or other events.]
[removed: A prolonged interruption of our services or network could cause us to experience data loss or a] reduction in revenue, and significantly impact our clients’ businesses and the customers they serve.
In addition, a significant [removed: implementation delay,] interruption of service or product recall could have a negative impact on our reputation and could cause our current and potential clients to choose another service provider.
As a provider of payments solutions and other financial services, clients, regulators and others may require [removed: specific] [added: enhanced] business continuity and disaster recovery plans including frequent testing of such plans.
In the event these third parties fail to provide these services adequately or in a timely manner, including as a result of errors in their systems or events beyond their control, or refuse to provide these services on terms acceptable to us or at all, and we are not able to find timely suitable alternatives, we may no longer be able to provide certain services to customers, which could expose us and our clients to information security, financial, compliance and reputational [removed: risks, among others, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.][added: risks.]
[removed: In addition, if] [added: If] we are unable to renew our existing contracts with key vendors and service providers, we might not be able to replace the related product or service at all or at the same [removed: cost, which would negatively impact our results of operations.][added: cost.]
We offer merchant acquiring, processing and issuing services outside of the U.S., including in the U.K., Germany, [added: Mexico, Uruguay,] Argentina, India and Brazil.
Our facilities outside of the U.S., and those of our suppliers and vendors, including manufacturing, customer support, software development and technology hosting facilities, are subject to risks, including natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, terrorism, [removed: war,] [added: war (such as the war in Ukraine),] political instability and other events [removed: outside of our or our suppliers’ control.]
Our business [added: has been and] may [added: continue to] be adversely impacted by U.S. and global market and economic conditions.
- [removed: declining economies,] [added: inflation,] foreign currency fluctuations, [removed: inflation,] [added: declining economies,] social unrest, natural disasters, public health crises, including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness, and the pace of economic recovery can change consumer spending behaviors, [removed: such as cross-border travel patterns,] on which a significant portion of our revenues are dependent;
A [added: further] weakening in the economy or competition from other retailers could also force some retailers to close, resulting in exposure to potential credit losses and declines in transactions, and reduced earnings on transactions due to a potential shift to large discount merchants.
A prolonged poor economic [removed: environment] [added: environment, including a potential recession in the U.S. or other economies in which our business operates,] could result in significant decreases in demand by current and potential clients for our products and services and in the number and dollar amount of transactions we process or accounts we service, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In Europe, we are continuing to assess the implications of the [removed: United Kingdom] [added: U.K.] leaving the [removed: European Union] [added: E.U.] (“Brexit”).
These laws and regulations are subject to [removed: frequent] change, [removed: with] [added: and] new laws, regulations and interpretations [removed: thereof being implemented.][added: are regularly adopted.]
Our Money Network Financial, LLC subsidiary [removed: provides prepaid access for various open loop prepaid programs for which it is the program manager and therefore] must meet the requirements of the Financial Crimes Enforcement [removed: Network.][added: Network because it is the program manager for various prepaid card programs.]
We [removed: also have] [added: operate] businesses that are subject to credit reporting and debt collection laws and regulations in the U.S. [removed: In addition,] [added: and] certain of our subsidiaries are subject [removed: to, among others,] [added: to] privacy, anti-money laundering, debt collection, and payment institution or electronic money licensing regulations outside the U.S.
We have implemented policies and training programs to [removed: discourage such practices;] [added: comply with applicable laws, regulations and obligations;] however, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, consultants and agents will comply with our policies and all applicable [removed: laws.][added: laws and any noncompliance could subject us to fines, penalties and loss of business.]
The volume and complexity of [removed: these] [added: the] regulations [added: that impact our business, directly or indirectly,] will continue to increase our cost of doing business.
Failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or changes in the regulatory environment, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new, varying or more restrictive laws and regulations by federal, state, local or foreign governments, may [added: result in significant financial penalties, reputational harm, suspension or termination of our ability to provide certain services, or change or restrict the manner in which we currently conduct our business, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.]
[removed: The rules of Nacha and the card] networks are set by their respective boards, some of which are our competitors, and the card network rules may be influenced by card issuers, some of which offer competing transaction processing services.
If we are unsuccessful in developing, marketing and selling products or services that gain market acceptance, or if third parties
We also have contracts with U.S. federal, state and local governments.
The contracts with these clients may contain terms that are not typical for non-government clients, such as the right to terminate for convenience, the right to unilaterally modify or reduce work to be provided under the contract, significant or unlimited indemnification obligations and being subject to appropriation of funds for the government contract program.
In addition, if any of our government contracts were to be terminated for default, we could be suspended or debarred from contracting with that entity in the future, which could also provide other government clients the right to terminate.
A prolonged interruption of our services or network could cause us to experience data loss or a
outside of our or our suppliers’ control.
We also derive revenue from transactions involving sales to U.S. federal, state and local governments and their respective agencies, and are subject to various procurement laws, regulations, and contract provisions relating to those contracts.
The rules of Nacha and the card
Losses due to chargebacks, refunds or returns could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may be liable if our merchants or other parties that have obligations to deliver goods or services to cardholders fail to satisfy their obligations.
These disputes could arise from fraud, misuse, unintentional use, settlement delay or failure, insufficiency of funds, returns, a failure to perform a service, or other reasons.
During 2022, interest rates increased significantly and interest rates may continue to increase or remain at higher than recent historical levels in the future.
If any of the following risks
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing travel restrictions and bans, quarantines, social distancing guidelines, shelter-in-place or lock-down orders and other similar limitations.
These measures have, among other matters, negatively impacted consumer and business spending and, as a result, our operating performance, primarily within our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees.
Additional factors that could negatively impact us include:
- Sustained increases in consumer chargebacks associated with processed transactions that merchant clients have submitted but have not fulfilled as an unprecedented number of merchants have been required to suspend or terminate their operations.
Merchants may be unable to fund these chargebacks, potentially resulting in losses to us;
- Government orders or other restrictions that limit or prohibit us from providing client-facing services from regular service locations, the failure of our business continuity plans, or supply chain issues that prevent us from meeting client service levels, any of which may increase the risk of failing to meet client contractual obligations that could cause loss of revenue, contractual penalties or potential legal disputes;
- Clients may require additional time to pay us or fail to pay us at all, which could significantly increase the amount of accounts receivable and require us to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts.
If clients cease operations or file for bankruptcy protection, we may experience lower revenue and earnings and have greater exposure to future transaction declines; and
- The possibility of one or more clusters of COVID-19 cases occurring at our data, call, production or operations centers, affecting our employees or affecting the systems or employees of our clients or other third parties on which we depend.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to modify our business practices, including restricting travel, limiting non-essential visitors to our facilities, disinfecting facilities, providing onsite testing and personal protective equipment to employees, establishing a variety of safety protocols at facilities and requiring U.S. employees to be fully vaccinated unless they have an approved medical, religious, or state exemption.
We expect to continue such safety measures for the foreseeable future and may take further actions, or adapt these existing policies, as government authorities may require or recommend or as we may determine to be in the best interest of our employees, clients and vendors.
Such measures may impact our productivity or effectiveness, and there is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We may not be successful in developing, marketing or selling new products and services that meet these demands or achieve market acceptance.
We must anticipate and respond to these changes in order to remain competitive within our relevant markets.
For example, our ability to provide innovative point-of-sale technology to our merchant clients could have an impact on our merchant acquiring business, and new services and technologies that we develop may be impacted by industry-wide solutions and standards related to tokenization or other safety, fraud prevention and security technologies.
If we are unable to anticipate or respond to technological changes or evolving industry standards on a timely basis, our ability to remain competitive could be materially adversely affected.
There can be no guarantee
and other cyberattacks, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, natural disasters, pandemics, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or other malware, or other events.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal, state, local and foreign governments issued emergency orders and a significant number of new laws and regulations in a short period of time.
These actions have impacted our current operations, including with respect to collection and consumer credit reporting activities, and we have experienced an increased volume of client support requests because many of the new laws impact our clients.
We have been required to expend additional resources and incur additional costs to address regulatory requirements applicable to us or our clients, and there could be additional government initiatives to reduce or eliminate payments, costs or fees to merchants, or fees or other sources of revenue to financial institutions, all of which could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

Although there are various restrictions on New Omaha’s ability to take certain actions with respect to us and our shareholders (including certain standstill provisions for so long as New Omaha’s aggregate ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock remains at or above 5%), New Omaha may seek to influence, and may be able to influence, us through its appointment of a director to our board of directors and its share ownership.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial results of First Data from the date of acquisition.
The businesses in the Acceptance segment are subject to a modest level of seasonality, with the first quarter generally experiencing the lowest level of revenue and the fourth quarter experiencing the highest level of revenue.
Corporate and Other also includes the historical results of our Investment Services business prior to the disposition of our controlling financial interest in February 2020, as well as certain transition services revenue associated with various dispositions.
NetPay is included within the Acceptance segment and further expands our ability to develop and deliver a wide range of customer-focused solutions and seamless payments experiences for our clients.
We previously held a noncontrolling equity interest in Ondot, which was accounted for at cost.
On March 2, 2020, we acquired MerchantPro Express LLC (“MerchantPro”), an ISO that provides processing services, POS equipment and merchant cash advances to businesses across the United States.
On March 18, 2020, we acquired Bypass Mobile, LLC (“Bypass”), an independent software vendor and innovator in enterprise POS systems for sports and entertainment venues, food service management providers and national restaurant chains.
Bypass is included within the Acceptance segment and further enhances our ability to help businesses deliver seamless physical and digital customer experiences.
On May 11, 2020, we acquired Inlet, LLC (“Inlet”), a provider of secure digital delivery solutions for enterprise and middle-market billers’ invoices and statements.
On July 29, 2019, we acquired First Data for a total purchase price of $46.5 billion by acquiring 100% of the First Data stock that was issued and outstanding as of the date of acquisition.
As a result of the acquisition, First Data stockholders received 286 million shares of common stock of Fiserv, Inc., at an exchange ratio of 0.303 shares of Fiserv, Inc. for each share of First Data common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.
We also converted 15 million outstanding First Data equity awards into corresponding equity awards relating to common stock of Fiserv, Inc. in accordance with the exchange ratio.
In addition, concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, we made a cash payment of $16.4 billion to repay existing First Data debt.
We
funded the transaction-related expenses and the repayment of First Data debt through a combination of available cash on-hand, proceeds from the issuance of senior notes, and term loan and revolving credit facility borrowings.
The acquisition of First Data, included within the Acceptance and Payments segments, increases our footprint as a global payments and financial technology provider by expanding the portfolio of services provided to financial institutions, corporate and merchant clients and consumers.
We expect the acquisition to close in 2022, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions.
Upon closing of the acquisition, Finxact will be included within the Fintech segment.
We expect to recognize a gain on the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest to its fair value at the acquisition date.
Effective July 1, 2020, we and Bank of America (“BANA”) dissolved the Banc of America Merchant Services joint venture (“BAMS” or the “joint venture”), of which we maintained a 51% controlling ownership interest.
Upon dissolution of the joint venture’s operations, the joint venture transferred a proportionate share of value, primarily the client contracts, to each party via an agreed upon contractual separation.
The transfer of value to BANA was accounted for at fair value, resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $36 million, with a related tax expense of $13 million.
The remaining activities of the joint venture consist primarily of an orderly wind down of remaining BAMS assets and liabilities.
The revenues and expenses of the BAMS joint venture were consolidated into our financial results though the date of dissolution.
The business transferred to us continues to be operated and managed within our Acceptance segment.
We will continue to provide merchant processing and related services to former BAMS clients allocated to BANA, at BAMS pricing, through June 2023.
We will also provide processing and other support services to new BANA merchant clients pursuant to a five-year non-exclusive agreement which, after June 2023, will also apply to the former BAMS clients allocated to BANA.
In addition, both companies are entitled to certain transition services, at fair value, from each other through June 2023.
On February 18, 2020, we sold a 60% controlling interest of our Investment Services business, subsequently renamed as Tegra118, LLC (“Tegra118”), which is reported within Corporate and Other.
We received pre-tax proceeds of $578 million, net of related expenses, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of $428 million, with a related tax expense of $112 million.
The revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Investment Services business were consolidated into our financial results through the date of the sale transaction, and is reported within Corporate and Other.
On February 2, 2021, Tegra118 completed a merger with a third party, resulting in a dilution of our ownership interest in the combined new entity, Wealthtech Holdings, LLC, which was subsequently renamed as InvestCloud Holdings, LLC (“InvestCloud”).
On June 30, 2021, we sold our entire ownership interest in InvestCloud for $466 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $33 million, with a related tax expense of $8 million.
We will continue to provide various technical and data center related services for defined periods under the terms of a pre-existing transition services agreement.
We achieve this through active portfolio management of our business, enhancing the overall value of our existing client relationships, improving operational effectiveness, being disciplined in our allocation of capital, and differentiating our products and services through innovation.
*Financial Institutions*
Examples of these solutions include electronic payments and delivery methods such as internet, mobile and tablet banking, sometimes referred to as “digital channels,” which enable financial institutions to offer their customers an industry-leading digital banking experience.
Since early 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and various measures imposed by the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions to prevent its spread, have, among other matters, negatively impacted consumer and business spending and, as a result, our operating performance, primarily within our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees.
We experienced a significant decrease in payments volume and transactions beginning in late March 2020 that negatively impacted our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses as well as modest declines in other businesses.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
23 rewritten, 7 added, 2 removed, 15 unchanged
[removed: We are exposed to] [added: Our senior management actively monitors] certain market [removed: risks,] [added: risks to which we are exposed,] primarily from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
We had fixed- and variable-rate debt, excluding finance leases and other financing obligations, with varying maturities for an aggregate carrying amount of [removed: $17.7] [added: $16.8] billion and [removed: $2.9] [added: $4.0] billion, respectively, at December 31, [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
Our fixed-rate debt at December 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] primarily consisted of fixed-rate senior notes with a fair value of [removed: $18.9] [added: $15.2] billion, based on matrix pricing which considers readily observable inputs of comparable securities.
Our variable-rate debt at December 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] primarily consisted of outstanding [removed: borrowings on our revolving credit facility,] U.S. dollar and Euro commercial [removed: paper,] [added: paper and borrowings on our] variable rate term [removed: loan,] [added: loan and] foreign lines of [removed: credit and debt associated with the receivables securitization agreement.][added: credit.]
Based on our outstanding debt balances and interest rates at December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] a hypothetical 1% increase in market interest rates related to our variable-rate debt would increase annual interest expense by approximately [removed: $29] [added: $40] million.
This sensitivity analysis assumes the outstanding debt balances at December 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] and the change in market interest rates is applicable for an entire year.
In connection with processing electronic payments transactions, [removed: we receive settlement] funds [removed: that] [added: received from subscribers] are invested into short-term, highly liquid investments from the time we collect the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients.
During the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] the amount of such interest-related income was not material and, therefore, a hypothetical 1% decrease in market interest rates would not have a significant impact on such income.
This sensitivity analysis assumes the subscriber fund balances at December 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] and the change in market interest rates is applicable for an entire year.
We manage the exposure to these risks through the use of foreign currency forward exchange [added: contracts, fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap] contracts and non-derivative net investment hedges.
Approximately 14% [removed: and 13%] of our total revenue was generated outside the U.S in [removed: 2021] [added: each of 2022] and [removed: 2020, respectively.][added: 2021.]

We [removed: have entered into] [added: maintain] foreign currency forward exchange contracts, [removed: which have been] designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency exposure to [removed: our operating costs in India.][added: the Indian Rupee.]
At December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] the notional amount of these derivatives was [removed: approximately $341] [added: $346] million, with a [removed: positive] fair value of [removed: $6] [added: $(8)] million.
[removed: In addition, we] [added: We also] designated our [removed: foreign currency-denominated] [added: Euro- and British Pound-denominated] senior notes and Euro commercial paper notes as net investment hedges to [removed: reduce exposure to changes in the value] [added: hedge a portion] of our net [removed: investments] [added: investment] in certain [removed: foreign] subsidiaries [removed: due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.][added: whose functional currencies are the Euro and British Pound.]
In order to limit our exposure to these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments with creditworthy institutions to hedge against changing interest rates and foreign currency rate fluctuations.
We currently utilize forward exchange contracts, fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and other non-derivative hedging instruments to manage risk.
Translation gains and losses from non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets.
For subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies, the financial statements are remeasured into U.S. dollars, and the foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated statements of income, rather than in shareholders’ equity.
The remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities resulted in foreign currency exchange losses of $52 million and $5 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to Argentina.
In addition, we maintain fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our net investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro.
At December 31, 2022, aggregate notional cross-currency rate swaps of 400 million Euro were designated as net investment hedges.
Our senior management actively monitors these risks.
Refer to Item 1A in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for an additional discussion of risks and potential risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

We are committed to providing fair pay to our employees regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or any other protected characteristic, and we conduct periodic pay audits to track, measure and evaluate employee compensation.
In addition, throughout the year, we celebrate employee contributions and achievements through a peer-based global recognition program that enables recognition and financial rewards.
As of December 31, 2022, we had over 41,000 employees worldwide, approximately 41% of whom were female.
In the U.S., approximately 37% of our employees self-identified as racially/ethnically diverse.
We continue to focus on our efforts on supporting our community with several initiatives, including:
We value employee engagement and feedback.
Throughout the year, we engage with our employees through events such as lunch-and-learns, quarterly all-hands meetings, town halls, leadership meetings and other forums.
We encourage managers to meet regularly with their teams and encourage skip-level discussions.
We are committed to the safety of our workforce and maintain a global safety program that is designed to protect the safety and well-being of our employees in the workplace, minimize injury and accident frequency and severity, minimize loss to property, equipment and operational disruption, and enable greater associate satisfaction and productivity.
We are also committed to providing comprehensive and competitive benefits to our associates that are responsive to their physical, financial, social and emotional needs.
Our benefit offerings include a variety of medical and dental plan choices, mental health and counseling programs, caregiver support programs, enhanced family forming and planning resources, and paid time off.
Significantly, we have not increased the cost of health care benefits for our employees in the past two years despite the increased cost of such benefits to the company.
Investing in our associates in this way helps us retain top talent and demonstrates our commitment to our employees, our most important asset.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
Since early 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and various measures imposed by the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions to prevent its spread, have negatively impacted global economic and market conditions, including levels of consumer and business spending.
Consequently, our operating performance, primarily within our merchant acquiring and payment-related businesses, which earn transaction-based fees, has been adversely affected, and may continue to be adversely affected, by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Such uncertainty remains despite improving trends in global economic activity and market conditions.
Additional information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business can be found under the section titled “Recent Market Conditions” included within Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
These subsidiaries are subject to regulation and oversight in the applicable countries, which may include, among other obligations, a requirement to maintain specified regulatory capital.
In 2021, the FTC issued a final rule amending the FTC’s GLBA Safeguards Rule that takes effect in December 2022 and applies to certain non-bank entities under FTC jurisdiction, and may require us to enhance our security measures in some of our operations.
In addition, in 2021, the Federal Banking Agencies issued a final rule requiring “computer-security incident” notifications by banking organizations and bank service providers that takes effect in May 2022 and may require that we enhance our “computer-security incident” notifications for some of our operations.
Following the U.K.’s exit from the E.U. Single Market and Customs Union on December 31, 2020, we are also subject to U.K. GDPR.
Additional regulations may be imposed in the future, including laws regulating activities with respect to current or emerging technology such as automated dialers or pre-recorded messaging or calls to cellular phones, which could impair the
collection by TRS of returned checks and those purchased under TeleCheck’s guarantee services.
Moreover, reducing or eliminating access to or the use of certain information or proscribing the maintenance or use of consumer databases could reduce the effectiveness of TeleCheck’s risk management tools or otherwise increase its costs of doing business.
As of December 31, 2021, we had over 44,000 employees worldwide, approximately 18,000 of whom were employed outside the U.S. Successful execution of our talent management strategy depends on attracting, developing and retaining highly qualified employees at all levels of our organization.
This includes creating a culture committed to diversity and inclusion and employee development, retention, engagement and well-being.
Our performance management process promotes differentiation based on contributions toward our strategic business objectives and overall success.
We provide employees with opportunities to grow, regardless of job level, within the organization including through targeted online learning, our Leading Women program designed to accelerate the professional growth of female top
talent, our Leading Fiserv program designed to develop critical leadership skills for frontline managers, and our Vision to Results leadership program focused on driving our One Fiserv approach to enterprise goals.
We also focus on internal mobility and redeployment to retain talented employees and to optimize their opportunities for success.
Our diversity and inclusion programs reflect our focus on:
We are focused on delivering a comprehensive and competitive benefits offering as part of our total rewards strategy.
We provide associates with access to a holistic suite of well-being programs and benefits focused on physical, financial, social and emotional resources.

The Company has determined, however, that there have been no material changes to the estimates and assumptions within its consolidated financial statements to date as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company will continue to monitor any future developments.
The Company offers merchants advance access to capital through its Clover Capital cash advance program.
Under this program, merchants sell fixed amounts of their future credit card receivables to the Company in exchange for an up-front purchase price payment.
Future credit card receivables purchased by the Company under the Clover Capital program were $164 million and $77 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company maintained a reserve of $7 million at both December 31, 2022 and 2021, based on an estimate of uncollectible amounts.

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company uses the hierarchy prescribed in Accounting
| (In millions) | | | | | | 2022 | | | | | | 2021 | | |
Financial statements of subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies outside of the U.S. are remeasured into U.S. dollars, and the foreign currency gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated statements of income, rather than in shareholders’ equity.
The remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities resulted in foreign currency exchange losses of $52 million and $5 million during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to Argentina.
Foreign currency exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities were nominal during the year ended December 31, 2020.
To reduce exposure to changes in the value of the Company’s net investments in certain of its foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt as economic hedges of its net investments in such foreign currency-denominated subsidiaries (see Note 13).
If the derivative is designated as a net investment hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative, net of tax, are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss) until the sale or complete liquidation of the underlying net investment.
If the derivative is
designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in the same line item as the changes in the fair value of the hedged item and recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
To the extent a derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company adopted ASU 2021-10, with prospective application of the additional disclosures to the transactions reflected in its consolidated financial statements, for the year ending December 31, 2022.
The adoption was not material and therefore did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, *Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)*: *Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions* (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies the guidance in ASC Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.
The provisions within ASU 2022-03 are to be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption.
In 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures* (“ASU 2022-02”), which requires that entities disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases.
The Company will adopt ASU 2022-02 and will include the additional disclosures, as applicable, for any write-offs reflected in its consolidated financial statements effective for the year ending December 31, 2023.

On July 29, 2019, the Company acquired First Data Corporation (“First Data”), a global leader in commerce-enabling technology and solutions for merchants, financial institutions and card issuers, by acquiring 100% of the First Data stock that was issued and outstanding as of the date of acquisition for a total purchase price of $46.5 billion (see Note 4).
The consolidated financial statements include the financial results of First Data from the date of acquisition.
Risks and Uncertainties
Since early 2020, the world has been, and continues to be, impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future operational and financial performance will depend on, among other matters, the duration and intensity of the pandemic; the level of success of global vaccination efforts; governmental and private sector responses to the pandemic and the impact of such responses on the Company; and the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s employees, clients, vendors, supply chain, operations and sales, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict.
These changing conditions may also affect the estimates and assumptions made by management.
Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the valuations of the Company’s long-lived assets, definite-lived intangible assets and equity method investments; the impairment assessment
of goodwill; the Company’s deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances; the estimate of current expected credit losses; and certain pension plan assumptions.
It is reasonably possible that changes in any assumptions used may result in an impairment or other charge that, if incurred, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, total assets and total equity in the period recognized.
Events and changes in circumstances arising subsequent to December 31, 2021, including those resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods.

| Total cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows | | | $ | 3,205 | | | | | $ | 2,569 | | | | | $ | 2,178 | | | | |
The Company revised the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to reflect settlement cash and cash equivalents within settlement assets as a component of total cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The components of settlement assets were revised to reflect the settlement cash and cash equivalents held by partner banks of $175 million and $411 million as settlement receivables as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 reflects the impact of $922 million of acquired settlement cash and cash equivalents relating to the First Data acquisition with the offsetting change included in cash flows from investing activities.
