the challenges relating to rapid technological developments and changes
the challenges relating to operating a real-time account-based payment system and to working with new customers and end users
the impact of information security incidents, account data breaches or service disruptions
issues related to our relationships with our stakeholders (including loss of substantial business from significant customers, competitor relationships with our customers, banking industry consolidation, merchants’ continued focus on acceptance costs and unique risks from our work with governments)
exposure to loss or illiquidity due to our role as guarantor and other contractual obligations
the impact of global economic, political, financial and societal events and conditions, including adverse currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls
reputational impact, including impact related to brand perception and lack of visibility of our brands in products and services
