Basis of Presentation	12 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation	Dec. 31, 2011
BASIS OF PREPARATION [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting [Text Block]	BASIS OF PREPARATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Euronet and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's investments in companies that it does not control, but has the ability to significantly influence, are accounted for under the equity method. Euronet is not involved with any variable interest entities. Results from operations related to entities acquired during the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements are reflected from the effective date of acquisition. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include computing income taxes, estimating the useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, as well as allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are remeasured at rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Resulting gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S. dollars using (i) exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities, and (ii) weighted average exchange rates during the period for revenues and expenses. Adjustments resulting from translation of such financial statements are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of consolidated equity.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less, and certificates of deposit, which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the Company without penalty, to be cash equivalents.

Inventory - PINs and other

Inventory - PINs and other is valued at the lower of cost or fair market value and represents primarily prepaid personal identification number (“PIN”) inventory for prepaid mobile airtime related to the epay Segment. PIN inventory is generally managed on a specific identification basis that approximates first in, first out for the respective denomination of prepaid mobile airtime sold. Inventory also includes vouchers, merchandise for physical reward fulfillment and other electronic payment products. Additionally, from time to time, Inventory - PINs and other may include POS terminals, mobile phone handsets and ATMs held by the Company for resale.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment acquired in acquisitions have been recorded at estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

Depreciation is generally calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation and amortization rates are generally as follows:



ATMs or ATM upgrades	5 - 7 years
Computers and software	3 - 5 years
POS terminals	2 - 5 years
Vehicles and office equipment	3 - 10 years
Leasehold improvements	Over the lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life

Goodwill and other intangible assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASC Topic 350 requires that the Company test for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances dictate. Impairment tests are performed annually during the fourth quarter and are performed at the reporting unit level. Generally, fair value represents discounted projected future cash flows, and potential impairment is indicated when the carrying value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its estimated fair value. If potential for impairment exists, the fair value of the reporting unit is subsequently measured against the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, to estimate an implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value. See Note 8, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net, for information regarding impairment charges recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. 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 determinations take place.

Other Intangibles - In accordance with ASC Topic 350, intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Unless otherwise noted, amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



Non-compete agreements	2 - 5 years
Trademarks and trade names	2 - 20 years
Software	3 -5 years
Customer relationships	6 - 12 years

See Note 8, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net, for additional information regarding ASC Topic 350 and the treatment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Other assets

Other assets include deferred financing costs, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, capitalized software development costs and capitalized payments for new or renewed contracts, contract renewals and customer conversion costs. Deferred financing costs represent expenses incurred to obtain financing that have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the loan. Euronet capitalizes initial payments for new or renewed contracts to the extent recoverable through future operations, contractual minimums and/or penalties in the case of early termination. The Company's accounting policy is to limit the amount of capitalized costs for a given contract to the lesser of the estimated ongoing net future cash flows related to the contract or the termination fees the Company would receive in the event of early termination of the contract by the customer.

The Company accounts for investments in affiliates using the equity method of accounting when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate. Equity losses in affiliates are generally recognized until the Company's investment is zero. Euronet's investments in affiliates, related to the Company's 40% investment in epay Malaysia and 49% investment in Euronet Middle East were $7.5 million and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Undistributed earnings in these affiliates as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $6.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Convertible debentures

The Company accounts for its convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion according to ASC 470-20-30-22, which requires the proceeds from the issuance of such convertible debt instruments to be allocated between debt and equity components so that debt is discounted to reflect the Company's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Further, the Company applies ASC 470-20-35-13, which requires the debt discount to be amortized over the period the convertible debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense.

Noncontrolling interests

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in its consolidated financial statements according to ASC 810-10-45-16, which requires noncontrolling interests to be reported as a component of equity.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” at the acquisition date. Additionally, ASC Topic 805 requires transaction-related costs to be expensed in the period incurred.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In accordance with ASC 740-10-25 and 30, the Company's policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 13, Taxes, for further discussion regarding these provisions.

Presentation of taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities

The Company presents taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair value measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, regarding fair value measurements for assets and liabilities. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions apply whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. See Note 17, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements, for the required fair value disclosures.

Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities

The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Primarily in the Money Transfer Segment, the Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, mainly forward contracts, to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer settlement assets and liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These contracts are considered derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC Topic 815; however, the Company does not designate such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized immediately as a component of foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact of changes in value of these contracts, together with the impact of the change in value of the related foreign currency denominated settlement asset or liability, on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets is not significant.

Cash flows resulting from derivative instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-worthy financial institutions and does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 11, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of derivative instruments.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The majority of the Company's revenues are comprised of monthly recurring management fees and transaction-based fees. A description of the major components of revenue by business segment is as follows:

EFT Processing - Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment are primarily derived from transaction and management fees from owned and outsourced ATM, POS and card processing networks and from the sale of EFT software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems.

Transaction-based fees include charges for cash withdrawals, debit or credit card transactions, balance inquiries, transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer does not give authorization and prepaid mobile airtime recharges. Outsourcing services are generally billed on the basis of a fixed monthly fee per ATM, plus a transaction-based fee. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed and outsourcing management fees are recognized ratably over the contract period.

Certain of the Company's non-cancelable customer contracts provide for the receipt of up-front fees from the customer and/or decreasing or increasing fee schedules over the agreement term for substantially the same level of services to be provided by the Company. As prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company recognizes revenue under these contracts based on proportional performance of services over the term of the contract. This generally results in “straight-line” (i.e., consistent value per period) revenue recognition of the contracts' total cash flows, including any up-front payment received from the customer.

Revenues from the sale of EFT software solutions represent software license fees, professional installation and customization fees, ongoing software maintenance fees, hardware sales and transaction fees. The Company recognizes professional service fee revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-605-15 and ASC 605-25. ASC 985-605-15 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements.

Revenues from software licensing agreement contracts are recognized over the professional services portion of the contract term using the percentage-of-completion method, following the guidance in ASC 605-35, as prescribed by ASC 985-605-15. Software maintenance revenue is recognized over the contractual period or as the maintenance-related service is performed. Revenue from the sale of hardware is generally recognized when title passes to the customer. Revenue in excess of billings on software licensing agreements was $0.8 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Billings in excess of revenue on software license agreements was $2.3 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is recorded as deferred revenue until such time the revenue recognition criteria are met.

epay - Revenue generated in the epay Segment is primarily derived from commissions or processing fees associated with distribution and/or processing of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products. These fees and commissions are received from mobile phone and other telecommunication operators, top-up distributors, other product vendors or distributors or from retailers. In accordance with ASC 605-45, commissions received are recognized as revenue during the period in which the Company provides the service. The portion of the commission that is paid to retailers is generally recorded as a direct operating cost. However, in circumstances where the Company has no influence over the commission paid to the retailers, those commissions are recorded as a reduction of revenue. In distributing certain products, the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangements; accordingly, the gross sales value of the products are recorded as revenue and the purchase cost as direct operating cost. Transactions are processed through a network of POS terminals and direct connections to the electronic payment systems of retailers. Transaction processing fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed.

Money Transfer - In accordance with ASC 605-45, revenues for money transfer and other services represent a transaction fee in addition to a margin earned from purchasing currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. Revenues and the associated direct operating cost are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company has origination and distribution agents in place, which each earn a fee for the respective service. These fees are reflected as direct operating costs.

Software capitalization

Computer software to be sold - The Company applies ASC Topic 730, Research and Development, and ASC 985-20 in recording research and development costs. Research costs related to the discovery of new knowledge with the hope that such knowledge will be useful in developing a new product or service, or a new process or technique, or in bringing about significant improvement to an existing product or process, are expensed as incurred (see Note 18, Computer Software to be Sold). Development costs aimed at the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan or design for a new product or process, or for a significant improvement to an existing product or process, whether intended for sale or use, are capitalized on a product-by-product basis when technological feasibility is established. Capitalization of computer software costs is discontinued when the computer software product is available to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed.

Technological feasibility of computer software products is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features and technical performance requirements. Technological feasibility is evidenced by the existence of a working model of the product or by completion of a detail program design. The detail program design (i) establishes that the necessary skills, hardware, and software technology are available to produce the product, (ii) is complete and consistent with the product design, and (iii) has been reviewed for high-risk development issues, with any uncertainties related to identified high-risk development issues being adequately resolved.

Capitalized software costs are included in other assets and are amortized on a product-by-product basis, equal to the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three years at inception. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers.

Software for internal use - The Company also develops software for internal use. These software development costs, as well as costs incurred for significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized based upon ASC 350-40. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized after the preliminary project stage is completed and management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Costs incurred prior to meeting the qualifications are expensed as incurred. Capitalization ceases when the computer software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

Share-based compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, for equity classified awards, which requires the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and subsequent recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation is earned (“requisite service period”).

The amount of future compensation expense related to awards of nonvested shares or nonvested share units (“restricted stock”) is based on the market price for Euronet Common Stock at the grant date. The grant date is the date at which all key terms and conditions of the grant have been determined and the Company becomes contingently obligated to transfer equity to the employee who renders the requisite service, generally the date at which grants are approved by the Company's Board of Directors or Compensation Committee thereof. Share-based compensation expense for awards with only service conditions is generally recognized as expense on a “straight-line” basis over the requisite service period. For awards that vest based on achieving annual performance conditions, expense is recognized on a “graded attribution method.” The graded attribution method results in expense recognition on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award. The Company has elected to use the “with and without method” when calculating the income tax benefit associated with its share-based payment arrangements. See Note 15, Stock Plans, for further disclosure.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB 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. 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 Company adopted ASU 2011-05 effective October 1, 2011 and elected to present comprehensive income and its components in two separate, consecutive statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The qualitative assessment is applicable to the annual test of goodwill impairment as well as determining if an interim test of goodwill impairment is necessary. ASU 2011-08 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS (LOSS) 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 the potential dilution of the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible debentures, shares issuable in connection with acquisition obligations, options to purchase the Company's Common Stock and restricted stock. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss; therefore, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2011	2009
Computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	50,944,349	50,486,705
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of stock options and restricted stock	785,164	996,018
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	51,729,513	51,482,723

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronet's weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company's weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 of approximately 1,956,000, 4,973,000 and 1,730,000, respectively.

The Company has convertible debentures that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. As required by 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 outstanding 3.50% debentures are convertible into 4.2 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 years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Acquisitions [Abstract]

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]

ACQUISITIONS

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Any excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is supported by valuations using estimates and assumptions provided by management. Generally, for certain large acquisitions management engages an appraiser to assist in the valuation process.

2011 Acquisitions

On September 16, 2011, the Company acquired all the common stock of cadooz Holding GmbH and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries ("cadooz"), which added additional product offerings to the Company's epay operations in Europe. The purchase price of approximately $54.7 million was paid from cash on hand. Part of the net assets acquired includes a liability for additional purchase price consideration based upon the level of revenue achieved by one of cadooz's subsidiaries for the three-year period ending in February 2014. Additionally, $4.1 million in cash is being held in escrow to secure certain obligations of the sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The valuation of cadooz's net assets acquired remains preliminary while management completes its valuation, particularly the valuation of acquired intangible assets and the valuation of deferred revenue, which is a significant aspect of cadooz's business.

In December 2011, the Company acquired Smart PayNetwork SA, an ATM and card processing company in Romania, for $18.3 million in cash. In November 2011, the Company acquired an integrated network of ATMs in Poland, known as cash4you, for $5.3 million in cash. In June 2011, the Company also acquired the net assets of a Canada-based check-cashing company for approximately $3.4 million in cash.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the acquired net assets at the respective acquisition dates:



(dollar amounts in thousands)	Estimated Life
Current assets		$	28,292
Property and equipment	3 years - Indefinite	6,938
Customer relationships	8 - 12 years	26,104
Trademarks and trade names	10 - 20 years	2,122

2010 Acquisitions

On September 1, 2010, the Company acquired 98.8% of the common stock of Telecomnet, Inc. and its wholly owned Brazilian operating subsidiary, which expanded the Company's epay operations into South America. The purchase price of approximately $44.5 million consisted of $39.5 million paid from cash on hand and $5.0 million fair value of contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company was required to pay the sellers additional consideration based upon the level of earnings achieved by Telecomnet, Inc. for 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an additional $0.7 million to record the contingent consideration at fair value which was charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. As of October 29, 2010, the Company executed a short-form merger, which effectively increased its ownership percentage to 100%.

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company also acquired the net assets of a U.S.-based money transfer company for approximately $1.0 million in cash. The following table summarizes the fair values of the acquired net assets at the respective acquisition dates:



(dollar amounts in thousands)	Estimated Life
Current assets		$	33,831
Property and equipment	3 - 5 years	2,412
Customer relationships	8 years	8,802
Trademarks and trade names	2 years	357
Non-compete agreements	2 years	580
Goodwill		27,965
Other non-current assets		914
Fair value of assets		74,861
Current liabilities		(24,548		)
Deferred income tax liability		(3,747		)
Other non-current liabilities		(1,134		)

The Company had no material acquisitions during 2009.

Gain on dispute settlement

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company reached a settlement regarding a dispute with the sellers of Ria Envia, Inc. (“Ria”). The Company received 226,634 shares of Euronet stock that had been held in escrow related to the Ria acquisition. The $3.5 million fair value of the shares on the date of settlement was recorded as an addition to treasury stock and $3.1 million, net of settlement costs, was recorded as a non-operating gain.

- Definition

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year and the results of the tests completed in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 2009 resulted in no impairment charges.

As a result of the 2010 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $70.9 million. The results from the fourth quarter 2010 test reflected continuing declines in profitability for certain reporting units of the epay Segment in Central and Western Europe. While these decreases were primarily driven by general economic conditions in the respective markets, recent developments led the Company to conclude that its ability to recover from these declines would be more difficult for its epay reporting units in the U.K., Spain and Romania. The U.K. reporting unit primarily provides prepaid mobile airtime top-up services in a mature market with limited growth for these services and at the end of 2010 had experienced protracted declines in the volume of transactions processed. While new product offerings in the U.K. provided a significant opportunity, the dependence on top-up services was expected to hamper the unit's overall growth. In Spain, the general economic conditions led the Company to conclude that the profitability of its Spanish epay unit would grow more slowly and take longer to recover than its other European epay units. Finally, while the operating results of the Romanian epay unit improved during 2010, the unit had recently experienced strong pressure on its gross margins. In light of these developments, during the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $58.2 million related to the U.K., $11.2 million related to Spain and $1.5 million related to Romania. In performing the annual goodwill impairment test, management must apply judgment in determining the estimated fair value of a business and uses all available information to make these fair value determinations, including discounted projected future cash flow analysis using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved in the assets, together with comparable sales prices that the Company or another purchaser would likely pay for the respective assets.

During the fourth quarter 2008, the Company recorded an estimated goodwill impairment charge related to the Ria money transfer business acquired in April 2007. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company completed the measurement of the impairment loss and recorded an additional $8.8 million non-cash charge. In a related assessment in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, it was determined that certain intangible assets of the Ria money transfer business were impaired and the Company recorded an estimated impairment charge in 2008 related to those assets. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded an additional $1.1 million non-cash impairment charge related to a money transfer intangible asset.

Of the total goodwill balance of $488.6 million as of December 31, 2011, $237.0 million relates to the Money Transfer Segment, $218.4 million relates to the epay Segment and the remaining $33.2 million relates to the EFT Processing Segment. Amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives was $22.2 million, $23.2 million and $23.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense, before income taxes, on intangible assets with finite lives as of December 31, 2011, is expected to total $21.9 million for 2012, $17.4 million for 2013, $14.8 million for 2014, $9.6 million for 2015 and $8.0 million for 2016.

- Definition

On August 18, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a lending syndicate consisting of nine banks (the "Lenders") with Bank of America, N.A. serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and U.S. Bank National Association serving as Syndication Agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available a $355 million senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $265 million five-year revolving credit facility, a $10 million five-year India revolving credit facility and an $80 million five-year term loan which was fully drawn at closing. The revolving credit facility allows for borrowings in U.S. dollars, euro, British pound sterling, Australian dollars and/or Indian rupees. The Credit Agreement amends and extends the credit agreement dated as of April 4, 2007 and all subsequent amendments thereto, which consisted of a $100 million revolving line of credit and $126 million outstanding term loan maturing April 2012 and 2014, respectively.

The $265 million revolving credit facility contains a $200 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $25 million sublimit for swingline loans. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility by up to an additional $205 million by requesting additional commitments from existing or new lenders. Fees and interest on borrowings vary based upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and will be based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a margin over the base rate, as selected by the Company, with the applicable margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% (or 0.5% to 1.5% for base rate loans). The base rate is the highest of (i) the Bank of America prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the Fixed LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The term loan is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization payments, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The maturity date for the Credit Facility is five years from the closing date, at which time the outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest will be due and payable in full. The weighted average interest rate of the Company's borrowings was 2.8% under the revolving credit facility and 2.3% under the term loan as of December 31, 2011. Financing costs of $4.4 million have been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans and $1.7 million were written off and included in loss on early retirement of debt in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants, including (all as defined in the Credit Agreement): (i) a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio not to exceed 4.0 to 1.0; (ii) a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3.0 to 1.0; and (iii) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0. Subject to meeting certain leverage ratio and liquidity requirements (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Company is permitted to pay dividends, repurchase common stock and repurchase subordinated debt.

The Company and certain subsidiaries have guaranteed the repayment of obligations under the Credit Facility and have granted pledges of the shares of certain subsidiaries along with a security interest in certain other personal property collateral of the Company and certain subsidiaries.

On October 4, 2005, the Company completed the sale of $175.0 million of 3.50% Contingent Convertible Debentures Due 2025 (“Convertible Debentures”). The Convertible Debentures have an interest rate of 3.50% per annum payable semi-annually in April and October, and are convertible into shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of $40.48 per share if certain conditions are met (relating to the closing prices of Euronet Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). The Convertible Debentures may not be redeemed by the Company until October 20, 2012 but are redeemable at any time thereafter at par. Holders of the Convertible Debentures have the option to require the Company to purchase their debentures at par on October 15, 2012, 2015 and 2020, or upon a change in control of the Company. These terms and other material terms and conditions applicable to the Convertible Debentures are set forth in the indenture governing the debentures. In connection with the Convertible Debentures, the Company recorded $5.1 million in debt issuance costs, which is being amortized over seven years, the term of the initial put option by the holders of the Convertible Debentures. The Convertible Debentures are general unsecured obligations, and are subordinated in right of payment to all obligations under “Senior Debt,” which is defined to include secured credit facilities (including secured replacements, renewals or refinancings thereof, including with different lenders and in higher amounts) and will rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured obligations and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Debentures will be effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness, with respect to any collateral securing such indebtedness and all liabilities of Euronet's subsidiaries. The Convertible Debentures are not guaranteed by any of Euronet's subsidiaries and, accordingly, are effectively subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of Euronet's subsidiaries, including trade creditors. The Company and its subsidiaries are not restricted under the indenture from incurring additional secured indebtedness, Senior Debt or other additional indebtedness.

In September 2011, the Company repurchased $3.6 million in principal amount of the 3.50% convertible debentures which resulted in a loss on early retirement of debt of $0.2 million. The 3.50% convertible debentures had principal amounts outstanding of $171.4 million and $175.0 million and unamortized discounts outstanding of $6.3 million and $14.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The discount will be amortized through October 15, 2012. Contractual interest expense was $6.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Discount accretion was $7.6 million, $7.1 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective interest rate was 8.4% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

On December 15, 2004, the Company completed the sale of $140.0 million of 1.625% Contingent Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 (“Convertible Senior Debentures”). During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company repurchased in privately negotiated transactions $25.8 million in principal amount of the Convertible Senior Debentures which resulted in $0.2 million in pre-tax losses on early retirement of debt, net of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Effective December 15, 2009, most of the holders of the Convertible Senior Debentures exercised their option to require the Company to purchase their debentures at par and $43.0 million in principal amount were purchased. The Company elected to redeem the remaining$1.2 million of outstanding debentures at par in January 2010, along with accrued interest at the rate of 1.625% per annum. Contractual interest expense and discount accretion for the 1.625% convertible debentures was $1 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The effective interest rate was 1.625% for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 7.1% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $87.2 million in borrowings and $35.3 million in stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees outstanding against the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no borrowings and $41.7 million in stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees outstanding against the revolving credit facility. Stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees are generally used to secure trade credit and performance obligations. The Company pays an interest rate for stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees at a rate that adjusts each quarter based upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio. At December 31, 2011, the stand-by letter of credit interest charges were 2.0% per annum. Because the revolving credit agreements expire beyond one year, the borrowings were classified as long-term debt obligations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 2011, aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt are $175.9 million in 2012, $6.5 million in 2013, $8.5 million in 2014, $11.5 million in 2015 and $135.2 million in 2016. This maturity schedule reflects the term loan and revolving credit facilities maturing in 2016 and the 3.5% Convertible Debentures maturing in 2012, coinciding with the terms of the initial put option by the holders of the debentures.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $67.8 million and $63.3 million, respectively, primarily in euros and U.S. dollars, which were not designated as hedges and had a weighted average remaining maturity of 3.8 days and 5.3 days, respectively. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During 2007, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $50.0 million to manage interest rate exposure related to a portion of the term loan. The interest rate swap agreements were determined to be cash flow hedges and effectively converted $50.0 million of the existing term loan to a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through the May 2009 maturity date of the swap agreements. The swap agreements required no payment by either party at their maturities.

The required tabular disclosures for derivative instruments are as follows:

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the taxable temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax benefit (expense) is generally the result of changes in the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes.

The sources of income (loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are presented as follows:

Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 are expected to be allocated to income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with the following exceptions. The tax benefit of net operating losses generated from share-based compensation have been excluded from the amounts disclosed for tax loss carryforwards and valuation allowance to the extent the benefit will be recognized in equity if realized. The excluded tax benefit of $19.9 million will be allocated to additional paid-in capital when utilized to offset taxable income.

As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company's U.S. federal and foreign tax loss carryforwards were $211.3 million, $186.2 million and $174.1 million, respectively, and U.S. state tax loss carryforwards were $66.3 million, $57.4 million and $51.6 million, respectively.

In assessing the Company's ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will only realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had U.S. federal and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards of $211.3 million, which will expire as follows:



(in thousands)	Gross		Tax Effected
Year ending December 31,
2012	$	2,927	$	636
2013	5,522		1,040
2014	8,417		2,032
2015	10,228		2,233
2016	7,653		1,761
thereafter	164,463		55,099
Unlimited	12,058		2,343
Total	$	211,268	$	65,144

In addition, the Company's state tax net operating losses of $66.3 million will expire periodically from 2012 through 2031.

No provision has been made in the accounts as of December 31, 2011 for U.S. federal and state income taxes which would be payable if the undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries were distributed to the Company since management has determined that the earnings are permanently reinvested. Undistributed earnings reinvested indefinitely in foreign subsidiaries aggregated $321.9 million as of December 31, 2011. The determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liabilities and foreign tax credits, if any, is not practicable to calculate at this time.

The Company is subject to corporate income tax audits in each of its various taxing jurisdictions. Although, the Company believes that its tax positions comply with applicable tax law, a taxing authority could take a position contrary to that reported by the Company and assess additional taxes due. The Company believes it has made adequate provisions for identified exposures.

On October 4, 2005, the Company completed the sale of 3.50% Convertible Debentures in a private offering. Pursuant to the Contingent Debt Regulations, the holders are generally required to include amounts in their taxable income, and the issuer is able to deduct such amounts from its taxable income, based on the rate at which Euronet would issue a non-contingent, non-convertible, fixed-rate debt instrument with terms and conditions otherwise similar to those of the Convertible Debentures. Euronet has determined that amount to be 8.50% for the Convertible Debentures which is substantially in excess of the stated interest rate. In the event the Convertible Debentures are repurchased, redeemed, or converted at an amount less than the adjusted issue price for tax purposes, ordinary income is recognized by the Company to the extent of the prior excess tax deductions. During the tax year ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased $3.6 million in principal amount of Convertible Debentures. The Convertible Debentures were repurchased for less than the adjusted issue price for tax purposes, resulting in the recognition of taxable income in excess of the loss recognized for book purposes on the transaction of approximately $1.5 million in 2011.

An issuer of convertible debt may not deduct any premium paid upon its repurchase of such debt if the premium exceeds a normal call premium. This denial of an interest deduction, however, does not apply to accruals of interest based on the comparable yield of a convertible debt instrument. Nonetheless, the U.S. Treasury Regulations contain an anti-abuse regulation, set forth in Section 1.1275-2(g), that grants the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service authority to depart from the regulations if a result is achieved which is unreasonable in light of the original issue discount provisions of the Code, including Section 163(e). The anti-abuse regulation further provides that the Commissioner may, under this authority, treat a contingent payment feature of a debt instrument as if it were a separate position. If such an analysis were applied to the debentures described above and ultimately sustained, our deductions for these debentures could be limited to the stated interest. The scope of the application of the anti-abuse regulations is unclear. The Company believes that the application of the Contingent Debt Regulations to the debentures is a reasonable result such that the anti-abuse regulation should not apply. If a contrary position were asserted and ultimately sustained, our tax deductions would be severely diminished; however, such a contrary position would not have any adverse impact on our reported tax expense, because there has been minimal tax benefit recognized for the difference between the stated interest and the comparable yield of the debentures.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2011			2010
Beginning balance	$	8,473		$	9,089
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	3,193			356
Additions for tax positions of prior years	735			50
Reductions for tax positions of prior years	(356		)	(900		)
Settlements	—			(122		)
Ending balance	$	12,045		$	8,473

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $6.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of the unrecognized tax benefits would impact the Company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate, if recognized. Total estimated accrued interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes was $1.8 million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The following tax years remain open in the Company's major jurisdictions as of December 31, 2011:



Poland	2005 through 2011
U.S. (Federal)	2000 through 2011
Spain	2005 through 2011
Australia	2006 through 2011
U.K.	2007 through 2011
Germany	2004 through 2011

The application of ASC 740-10-25 and -30 requires significant judgment in assessing the outcome of future tax examinations and their potential impact on the Company's estimated effective tax rate and the value of deferred tax assets, such as those related to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards. It is reasonably possible that amounts reserved for potential exposure could significantly change as a result of the conclusion of tax examinations and, accordingly, materially affect our operating results. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the range of change due to the uncertainty of potential outcomes.

- 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.

STOCK PLANS

The Company has share-based compensation plans (“SCP”) that allow the Company to grant restricted shares, or options to purchase shares, of Common Stock to certain current and prospective key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. These awards generally vest over periods ranging from three to seven years from the date of grant, are generally exercisable during the shorter of a ten-year term or the term of employment with the Company. Certain stock option grants vest over a five year period, subject to the achievement of a pre-determined share price target for Euronet Common Stock within three years from the grant date. With the exception of certain awards made to the Company's employees in Germany, awards under the SCP are settled through the issuance of new shares under the provisions of the SCP. For Company employees in Germany, certain awards are settled through the issuance of treasury shares, which also reduces the number of shares available for future issuance under the SCP. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has approximately 2.3 million in total shares remaining available for issuance under the SCP.

The Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations includes share-based compensation expense of $10.8 million, $9.3 million and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amounts are recorded as salaries and benefits expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for the portion of this expense that relates to foreign tax jurisdictions in which an income tax benefit is expected to be derived.

Weighted-average fair value (per share)	$	6.85		$	7.42

(b) Restricted stock

Restricted stock awards vest based on the achievement of time-based service conditions and/or performance-based conditions. For certain awards, vesting is based on the achievement of more than one condition of an award with multiple time-based

and/or performance-based conditions.

Summary restricted stock activity is presented in the table below:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2010	1,078,417		$	20.47
Granted	406,140		$	16.55

Nonvested at December 31, 2011	1,185,500		$	18.82

The fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $5 million, $3.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there was $6.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested time-based restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years. As of December 31, 2011, there was $6.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested performance-based restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized based on Company performance over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $16.55, $16.50 and $20.81 per share, respectively.

In 2003, the Company established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which allows qualified employees (as defined by the plan documents) to participate in the purchase of rights to purchase designated shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the closing price at the beginning or end of each quarterly offering period. The Company reserved 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for purchase under the ESPP. Pursuant to the ESPP, during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued 57,018, 46,849 and 49,337 rights, respectively, to purchase shares of Common Stock at a weighted average price per share of $12.77, $16.95 and $15.04, respectively. The grant date fair value of the option to purchase shares at the lower of the closing price at the beginning or end of the quarterly period, plus the actual total discount provided, are recorded as compensation expense. Total compensation expense recorded was $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The following table provides the weighted average fair value of the ESPP stock purchase rights during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model:

Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2011

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

(a) Concentrations of credit risk

Euronet's credit risk primarily relates to trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Euronet's EFT Processing Segment's customer base includes the most significant international card organizations and certain banks in the Company's markets. The epay Segment's customer base is diverse and includes several major retailers and/or distributors in markets that they operate. The Money Transfer Segment trade accounts receivable are primarily due from independent agents that collect cash from customers on the Company's behalf and generally remit the cash within one week. Euronet performs ongoing evaluations of its customers' financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended, or purchases credit enhancement protection, when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. See Note 14, Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, for further disclosure.

The Company invests excess cash not required for use in operations primarily in high credit quality, short-term duration securities that the Company believes bear minimal risk.

(b) Fair value of financial instruments

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
	December 31, 2011						December 31, 2010
(in thousands)	Carrying Value			Fair Value			Carrying Value			Fair Value
3.50% convertible debentures, unsecured, due 2025	$	(165,173	)	$	(170,581	)	$	(161,005	)	$	(172,267	)
Foreign currency derivative contracts	(78		)	(78		)	(496		)	(496		)
Embedded derivative in foreign lease	(141		)	(141		)	(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.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company assessed the fair value of its goodwill and recorded goodwill impairment charges related to certain of its epay businesses of $70.9 million The fair values were determined using significant unobservable inputs. The $16.8 million fair values of goodwill related to the 2010 impaired businesses were determined by calculating the implied fair values as the excess of the fair value of the respective entity over the fair value of its net assets. See further discussion in Note 8, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, Net. No other assets were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2011 or 2010.

Contingencies	12 Months Ended
Contingencies	Dec. 31, 2011
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies Computer Security Breach - A unit of the Company's European processing business was the subject of a criminal security breach in late 2011. The affected business represents less than 5% of the Company's revenues, profits and transactions. Euronet took immediate steps to remediate the breach and ensure its impact was contained. Bank card association rules provide a process by which loss and expense arising from such breaches is allocated among card issuers, acquirers and service providers such as Euronet. The Company expects that some claims may be asserted against it under such rules or under its agreements with acquiring banks. However, the Company believes that any liability under such claims will be limited by a number of factors including the fact that the majority of cards processed by the affected business were EMV compliant chip and PIN cards to which such rules either do not apply or apply a lower level of liability. Losses from fraudulent card activity appear to have been limited to magnetic stripe transactions processed on the affected systems. In addition, the Company maintains insurance to cover the financial exposure for response costs, losses by card issuers and fines or penalties from such incidents. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the possible range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of claims against it in connection with the breach, since no claims have been asserted against it yet and information concerning loss levels has not been communicated by the card associations to Euronet. However, the Company does not at this time expect the net financial impact of loss or expense from the breach after insurance recovery to be material. The Company is continuing to take aggressive measures to strengthen its security controls, and is working closely with international card associations and law enforcement in this regard. Expenses related to the breach were $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Antitrust Investigation - 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. This lawsuit was dismissed on October 12, 2011 in consideration of the payment of a nominal amount to the plaintiff. In addition, from time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

Guarantees

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2011

Guarantees [Abstract]

GUARANTEES

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $95.4 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $18.3 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks and $9.0 million are collateralized by trade accounts receivable.

Each of our subsidiaries, once they reach a certain size, is required under the Credit Facility to provide a guarantee of all or a portion of the outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility depending upon whether the subsidiary is a domestic or foreign entity.

Under certain circumstances, Euronet grants guarantees in support of obligations of subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2011, the Company granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $17.1 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $28.0 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 December 31, 2011, the balance of ATM network cash for which the Company was responsible was approximately $340 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; and


•	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.

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

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 December 31, 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Other assets policy [Policy Text Block]	Other assets Other assets include deferred financing costs, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, capitalized software development costs and capitalized payments for new or renewed contracts, contract renewals and customer conversion costs. Deferred financing costs represent expenses incurred to obtain financing that have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the loan. Euronet capitalizes initial payments for new or renewed contracts to the extent recoverable through future operations, contractual minimums and/or penalties in the case of early termination. The Company's accounting policy is to limit the amount of capitalized costs for a given contract to the lesser of the estimated ongoing net future cash flows related to the contract or the termination fees the Company would receive in the event of early termination of the contract by the customer. The Company accounts for investments in affiliates using the equity method of accounting when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate. Equity losses in affiliates are generally recognized until the Company's investment is zero. Euronet's investments in affiliates, related to the Company's 40% investment in epay Malaysia and 49% investment in Euronet Middle East were $7.5 million and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Undistributed earnings in these affiliates as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $6.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Business combinations The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” at the acquisition date. Additionally, ASC Topic 805 requires transaction-related costs to be expensed in the period incurred.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for completed business combinations (purchase method, acquisition method or combination of entities under common control). This accounting policy may include a general discussion of the purchase method or acquisition method of accounting (including for example, the treatment accorded contingent consideration, the identification of assets and liabilities, the purchase price allocation process, how the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities are determined) and the entity's specific application thereof. An entity that acquires another entity in a leveraged buyout transaction generally discloses the accounting policy followed by the acquiring entity in determining the basis used to value its interest in the acquired entity, and the rationale for that accounting policy.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In accordance with ASC 740-10-25 and 30, the Company's policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 13, Taxes, for further discussion regarding these provisions.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for income taxes, which may include its accounting policies for recognizing and measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances, recognizing investment tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and other carryforwards, methodologies for determining its effective income tax rate and the characterization of interest and penalties in the financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedging Derivatives [Policy Text Block]	Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Primarily in the Money Transfer Segment, the Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, mainly forward contracts, to offset foreign currency exposure related to the notional value of money transfer settlement assets and liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These contracts are considered derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC Topic 815; however, the Company does not designate such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized immediately as a component of foreign currency exchange gain (loss), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact of changes in value of these contracts, together with the impact of the change in value of the related foreign currency denominated settlement asset or liability, on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets is not significant. Cash flows resulting from derivative instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company enters into derivative instruments with highly credit-worthy financial institutions and does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. See Note 11, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for further discussion of derivative instruments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices Revenue recognition (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The majority of the Company's revenues are comprised of monthly recurring management fees and transaction-based fees. A description of the major components of revenue by business segment is as follows: EFT Processing - Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment are primarily derived from transaction and management fees from owned and outsourced ATM, POS and card processing networks and from the sale of EFT software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems. Transaction-based fees include charges for cash withdrawals, debit or credit card transactions, balance inquiries, transactions not completed because the relevant card issuer does not give authorization and prepaid mobile airtime recharges. Outsourcing services are generally billed on the basis of a fixed monthly fee per ATM, plus a transaction-based fee. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed and outsourcing management fees are recognized ratably over the contract period. Certain of the Company's non-cancelable customer contracts provide for the receipt of up-front fees from the customer and/or decreasing or increasing fee schedules over the agreement term for substantially the same level of services to be provided by the Company. As prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company recognizes revenue under these contracts based on proportional performance of services over the term of the contract. This generally results in “straight-line” (i.e., consistent value per period) revenue recognition of the contracts' total cash flows, including any up-front payment received from the customer. Revenues from the sale of EFT software solutions represent software license fees, professional installation and customization fees, ongoing software maintenance fees, hardware sales and transaction fees. The Company recognizes professional service fee revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 985-605-15 and ASC 605-25. ASC 985-605-15 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of those elements. Revenues from software licensing agreement contracts are recognized over the professional services portion of the contract term using the percentage-of-completion method, following the guidance in ASC 605-35, as prescribed by ASC 985-605-15. Software maintenance revenue is recognized over the contractual period or as the maintenance-related service is performed. Revenue from the sale of hardware is generally recognized when title passes to the customer. Revenue in excess of billings on software licensing agreements was $0.8 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Billings in excess of revenue on software license agreements was $2.3 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is recorded as deferred revenue until such time the revenue recognition criteria are met. epay - Revenue generated in the epay Segment is primarily derived from commissions or processing fees associated with distribution and/or processing of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products. These fees and commissions are received from mobile phone and other telecommunication operators, top-up distributors, other product vendors or distributors or from retailers. In accordance with ASC 605-45, commissions received are recognized as revenue during the period in which the Company provides the service. The portion of the commission that is paid to retailers is generally recorded as a direct operating cost. However, in circumstances where the Company has no influence over the commission paid to the retailers, those commissions are recorded as a reduction of revenue. In distributing certain products, the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangements; accordingly, the gross sales value of the products are recorded as revenue and the purchase cost as direct operating cost. Transactions are processed through a network of POS terminals and direct connections to the electronic payment systems of retailers. Transaction processing fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed. Money Transfer - In accordance with ASC 605-45, revenues for money transfer and other services represent a transaction fee in addition to a margin earned from purchasing currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail exchange rates. Revenues and the associated direct operating cost are recognized at the time the transaction is processed. The Company has origination and distribution agents in place, which each earn a fee for the respective service. These fees are reflected as direct operating costs

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Software capitalization Computer software to be sold - The Company applies ASC Topic 730, Research and Development, and ASC 985-20 in recording research and development costs. Research costs related to the discovery of new knowledge with the hope that such knowledge will be useful in developing a new product or service, or a new process or technique, or in bringing about significant improvement to an existing product or process, are expensed as incurred (see Note 18, Computer Software to be Sold). Development costs aimed at the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan or design for a new product or process, or for a significant improvement to an existing product or process, whether intended for sale or use, are capitalized on a product-by-product basis when technological feasibility is established. Capitalization of computer software costs is discontinued when the computer software product is available to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. Technological feasibility of computer software products is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features and technical performance requirements. Technological feasibility is evidenced by the existence of a working model of the product or by completion of a detail program design. The detail program design (i) establishes that the necessary skills, hardware, and software technology are available to produce the product, (ii) is complete and consistent with the product design, and (iii) has been reviewed for high-risk development issues, with any uncertainties related to identified high-risk development issues being adequately resolved. Capitalized software costs are included in other assets and are amortized on a product-by-product basis, equal to the greater of the amount computed using (i) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (ii) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three years at inception. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers
Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Software for internal use - The Company also develops software for internal use. These software development costs, as well as costs incurred for significant enhancements and upgrades, are capitalized based upon ASC 350-40. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized after the preliminary project stage is completed and management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Costs incurred prior to meeting the qualifications are expensed as incurred. Capitalization ceases when the computer software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for costs incurred when both (1) the software is acquired, internally developed, or modified solely to meet the entity's internal needs, and (2) during the software's development or modification, no substantive plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices [Abstract]
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Share-based compensation The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, for equity classified awards, which requires the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and subsequent recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation is earned (“requisite service period”). The amount of future compensation expense related to awards of nonvested shares or nonvested share units (“restricted stock”) is based on the market price for Euronet Common Stock at the grant date. The grant date is the date at which all key terms and conditions of the grant have been determined and the Company becomes contingently obligated to transfer equity to the employee who renders the requisite service, generally the date at which grants are approved by the Company's Board of Directors or Compensation Committee thereof. Share-based compensation expense for awards with only service conditions is generally recognized as expense on a “straight-line” basis over the requisite service period. For awards that vest based on achieving annual performance conditions, expense is recognized on a “graded attribution method.” The graded attribution method results in expense recognition on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award. The Company has elected to use the “with and without method” when calculating the income tax benefit associated with its share-based payment arrangements. See Note 15, Stock Plans, for further disclosure

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for stock option and stock incentive plans. This disclosure may include (1) the types of stock option or incentive plans sponsored by the entity (2) the groups that participate in (or are covered by) each plan (3) significant plan provisions and (4) how stock compensation is measured, and the methodologies and significant assumptions used to determine that measurement.

(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 FASB 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. 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 Company adopted ASU 2011-05 effective October 1, 2011 and elected to present comprehensive income and its components in two separate, consecutive statements. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The qualitative assessment is applicable to the annual test of goodwill impairment as well as determining if an interim test of goodwill impairment is necessary. ASU 2011-08 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to materially affect the Company's financial statements.

- Definition

Represents the current portion of deferred tax liabilities, which result from applying the applicable tax rate to net taxable temporary differences pertaining to each jurisdiction to which the entity is obligated to pay income tax. A current taxable temporary difference is a difference between the tax basis and the carrying amount of a current asset or liability in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In a classified statement of financial position, an enterprise separates deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. A deferred tax liability or asset that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting, including deferred tax assets related to carryforwards, is classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.
