liquidity and capital resources a significant portion of our liquidity comes from operating cash flows , which are generally sufficient to fund operations , planned capital expenditures , debt service and various strategic investments in our business .
cash flow from operations is used to make planned capital investments in our business , to pursue acquisitions that meet our corporate objectives , to pay dividends , and to pay off debt and repurchase our shares at the discretion of our board of directors .

settlement related cash balances represent surplus funds that we hold on behalf of our member sponsors when the incoming amount from the card networks precedes the member sponsors 2019 funding obligation to the merchant .
merchant reserve cash balances represent funds collected from our merchants that serve as collateral ( 201cmerchant reserves 201d ) to minimize contingent liabilities associated with any losses that may occur under the merchant agreement .
