Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
GENERAL	GENERAL Organization Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Euronet”) is a leading global electronic payments provider. Euronet offers payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. The Company's primary product offerings include comprehensive automated teller machine (“ATM”), point-of-sale (“POS”) and card outsourcing services; electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, and global consumer money transfer services. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2011, and the results of its operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Euronet for the year ended December 31, 2010, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2011
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES Recent accounting pronouncements In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under ASU 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Finally, ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The requirements apply to both annual and interim financial statements and should be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial statements. Money transfer settlement obligations Money transfer settlement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of amounts owed by the Company to money transfer recipients. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s money transfer settlement obligations were $36.1 million.

Earnings Per Share

Jun. 30, 2011

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for any potential dilution of the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures, shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations, restricted stock and options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:



	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
	2011	2010	2011	2010
Computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	51,219,681	50,914,453	51,144,154	50,857,812
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of stock options and restricted stock	738,261	—	806,459	919,580
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	51,957,942	50,914,453	51,950,613	51,777,392

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronet’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss; therefore, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 1,817,000 and 1,751,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and of approximately 4,963,000 and 2,252,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company has convertible debentures that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. As required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share, if dilutive, the impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share under the “if-converted” method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the debentures would be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock have been met. The Company’s 3.50% debentures are convertible into 4.3 million shares of common stock only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. Under the if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 3.50% debentures was anti-dilutive for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company’s remaining 1.625% convertible debentures outstanding were repurchased in January 2010 and the assumed conversion of the then-outstanding debentures was anti-dilutive for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

A summary of acquired intangible assets and goodwill activity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 is presented below:



(in thousands)	Acquired Intangible Assets			Goodwill		Total Intangible Assets
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	95,819		$	445,713	$	541,532
Increases (decreases):
Acquisitions	2,888			39		2,927
Amortization	(11,078		)	—		(11,078		)
Other (primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates)	3,273			25,067		28,340
Balance as of June 30, 2011	$	90,902		$	470,819	$	561,721

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of June 30, 2011, is expected to total $21.5 million for 2011, $19.3 million for 2012, $14.3 million for 2013, $11.4 million for 2014, $6.2 million for 2015 and $4.6 million for 2016.

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter. The Company’s annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2010 resulted in the Company recording an estimated non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $70.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 related to its epay reporting units in the U.K., Spain and Romania. Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change, which may result in the Company recording additional material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the aggregate amount of goodwill and a description of intangible assets, which may include (a) for amortizable intangible assets (also referred to as finite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, the amount of any significant residual value, and the weighted-average amortization period, (b) for intangible assets not subject to amortization (also referred to as indefinite-lived intangible assets), the carrying amount, and (c) the amount of research and development assets acquired and written off in the period, including the line item in the income statement in which the amounts written off are aggregated, if not readily apparent from the income statement.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $60.5 million, primarily in euros and U.S. dollars, which were not designated as hedges and had a weighted average remaining maturity of 4.1 days. Although the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer transactions collected in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they are not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. This is mainly due to the relatively short duration of the contracts, typically 1 to 14 days, and the frequency with which the Company enters into them. Due to the short duration of the contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to its foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company has an office lease in a foreign country that requires payment in a currency that is not the functional currency of either party to the lease or the Company’s reporting currency. Therefore, the lease contains an embedded derivative per ASC Topic 815 and the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The required tabular disclosures for derivative instruments are as follows:



		Fair Values of Derivative Instruments as of
(in thousands)	Consolidated Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt obligations approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s term loan due 2014 and revolving credit agreements approximate fair values because interest is based on London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) that resets at various intervals of less than one year. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments, based on quoted market prices or significant other observable inputs.



	As of
	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
3.50% convertible debentures, unsecured, due 2025	(164,786	)	(175,656	)	(161,005	)	(172,267	)
Foreign currency derivative contracts	(519	)	(519	)	(496	)	(496	)
Embedded derivative in foreign lease	(73	)	(73	)	(144	)	(144	)

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant other observable inputs are the foreign currency derivative contracts and the embedded derivative in foreign lease. The Company values foreign currency derivative contracts using foreign currency exchange quotations for similar assets and liabilities. The embedded derivative in foreign lease is valued using present value techniques and foreign currency exchange quotations.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Guarantees

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

Guarantees [Abstract]

GUARANTEES

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $102.8 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $20.5 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks and $6.1 million are collateralized by trade accounts receivable.

Under certain circumstances, Euronet grants guarantees in support of obligations of subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2011, the Company granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $20.0 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $31.3 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers.

From time to time, Euronet enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the agreements. Our liability under such indemnification provisions may be mitigated by relevant insurance coverage and may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification obligations include the following:

•

In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for damage to ATMs and theft of ATM network cash that, generally, is not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2011, the balance of ATM network cash for which the Company was responsible was approximately $300 million. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure;


•	In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, Euronet provides certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications;


•	Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with vendors and consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against third-party claims arising from the Company’s use of the vendor’s product or the services of the vendor or consultant;

•

In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with acquisitions made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third party claims made against the seller relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages incurred by the buyer due to the buyer’s reliance on representations and warranties relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made;


•	Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Company’s benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third party claims relating to carrying out their respective duties under such agreements; and


•	The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities.

The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were recorded as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of each guarantee obligation, or each group of similar guarantee obligations, including (a) the nature of the guarantee, including its term, how it arose, and the events or circumstances that would require the guarantor to perform under the guarantee; (b) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee; (c) the current carrying amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor's obligations under the guarantee; and (d) the nature of any recourse provisions under the guarantee, and any assets held either as collateral or by third parties, and any relevant related party disclosure. Excludes disclosures about product warranties.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2011
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rates were 35.7% and 136.2% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were 30.2% and 81.1% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rates were significantly influenced by the foreign currency exchange gains and losses in the respective periods. Excluding the foreign currency exchange gains and losses from pre-tax income, as well as the related tax effects for these items, the Company’s effective tax rates were 44.2% and 36.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 43.0% and 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increases in the effective tax rates, as adjusted, for the second quarter and first half of 2011 compared to the applicable statutory rate of 35% are primarily related to the Company’s U.S. tax position. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our U.S. income tax net operating losses as it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Accordingly, the income tax benefits associated with pre-tax book losses generated by the Company’s U.S. entities have not been recognized in these periods.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Contingencies	6 Months Ended
Contingencies	Jun. 30, 2011
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies In the second quarter of 2009, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) served Continental Exchange Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Ria Financial Services (“CES”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with a grand jury subpoena requesting documents from CES and its affiliates in connection with an investigation into possible price collusion related to money transmission services to the Dominican Republic (“D.R.”) during the period from January 1, 2004 to the date of the subpoena. The Company acquired all of the stock of Ria Envia, Inc., the parent of CES, in April 2007. CES foreign exchange transactions between the U.S and the D.R. generated approximately 0.3% of the Company’s 2009 consolidated revenues. The Company and CES are fully cooperating with the DOJ in its investigation. The Company believes that, during the period covered by the DOJ investigation, CES generally derived part of its charge for exchanging U.S. dollars into D.R. pesos from a reference rate recommended by ADEREDI, a trade association in the D.R. composed of a CES subsidiary and other D.R. money transfer firms. The Company further believes, however, that CES set its own service fee on the D.R. transactions and its overall transaction price to customers. Customers were also free during this time period to use CES and other firms to transmit dollars into the D.R., without conversion into D.R. pesos, and the Company believes such transmissions occurred with increasing frequency over the course of this time period. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the DOJ investigation, or, if charges were to be brought against CES, the possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of any such charges. Nor can the Company predict any potential effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition arising from such charges or potential collateral consequences, which could include fines, penalties, limitations on or revocation of CES’s license to engage in the money transfer business in one or more states, and civil liability. In addition, the Company has incurred and may continue to incur significant fees and expenses in connection with the DOJ investigation and related matters. Litigation During 2010, CES was served with a class action lawsuit filed by a former employee for alleged wage and hour violations related to overtime and meal and rest period requirements under California law. California law regarding an employer’s obligations to provide lunch and rest periods is under review by the California Supreme Court. The proceeding is in the preliminary stages and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit. At the current stage of the proceedings, the Company considers that it is not possible to determine a range of loss, if any, that may arise from this lawsuit.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES [Abstract]
Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	Recent accounting pronouncements In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under ASU 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Finally, ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The requirements apply to both annual and interim financial statements and should be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial statements.
