Derivative Instrument Detail [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses forward contracts to manage its non-U.S. dollar needs and non-U.S. dollar exchange risk arising from its assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars. While these contracts may mitigate certain non-U.S. dollar risk, they are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and will result in gains and losses. The Company also reports gains and losses
from the spread differential between the rate set for its transactions and the actual cost of currency at the time the Company buys or sells in the open market.
The following net gains related to assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars are included within "Transaction and operations support" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within "Net cash provided by operating activities" in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $643.8 million and $349.1 million, respectively, of outstanding notional amounts relating to its non-U.S. dollar forward contracts.

The Company's forward contracts are primarily executed with counterparties governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements that generally include standard netting arrangements. Asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other non-U.S. dollar exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its derivative contracts. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits and by selecting major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties. Collateral generally is not required of the counterparties or of the Company. In the unlikely event the counterparty fails to meet the contractual terms of the derivative contract, the Company's risk is limited to the fair value of the instrument. The Company has not had any historical instances of non-performance by any counterparties, nor does it anticipate any future instances of non-performance.
