 the use of and obtain substantially all the benefits from the services provided by these parties before those services are transferred to the customer. As a result, the Company presents revenue for its Merchant Solutions segment net of the interchange fees charged by the card issuing financial institutions and the fees charged by the payment networks.

For the Company’s Digital Wallet segment, the Company has concluded that we have the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits of these services provided by these parties prior to transferring these services to our customers. As a result, the Company presents revenue for its Digital Wallets segment gross of interchange fees and fees charged by payment networks.

Another area of significant judgment involves determining whether goods and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately, or together as one performance obligation. The primary services offered by the Company to its customers comprise a series of distinct performance obligations that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer. Hence, these services are considered a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies its performance obligation by transferring control over the service to a customer.

Allowance for credit losses

The Company has exposure to credit losses for financial assets including customer accounts and other restricted cash, settlement receivables, accounts receivable, and financial guarantee contracts to the extent that a chargeback claim is made against the Company directly or to the Company’s merchants on card purchases.

We utilize a combination of aging and probability of default methods to develop an estimate of credit losses, depending on the nature and risk profile of the underlying asset pool. A broad range of information is considered in the estimation process, including historical loss information adjusted for current conditions and expectations of future trends. The estimation process also includes consideration of qualitative and quantitative risk factors associated with the age of asset balances, expected timing and probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default, merchant risk profiles, and relevant macro-economic factors. Determining the appropriate current expected credit loss allowance is an inherently uncertain process requiring significant judgment and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. More specifically, a significant change in the estimate of the probability of default or loss given default for financial guarantee contracts could result in a material change to the allowance. While there has not been a significant change in assumptions during the year, the allowance for credit losses and associated credit loss expense has declined due to factors described in further detail in Note 8, Allowance for credit losses, of Item 18, Financial Statements.
