We rely on third parties in many aspects of our business, which creates additional risk.
Current report
We rely on third parties in many aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, networks, banks, payment processors, payment gateways, and other entities that link us to the payment card and bank clearing networks to process transactions and that link us to consumers and other customers to provide financial services; unaffiliated third-party lenders to originate U.S. credit products to consumers, U.S. merchant financing, and branded credit card products; branded debit card and savings products issued by unaffiliated banks; cryptocurrency custodial service providers; and external business partners and contractors who provide key functions (including, but not limited to, data center facilities and cloud computing, IT, and outsourced customer support, accounting, human resources, and product development functions). We are subject to additional risks inherent in engaging and relying upon third-party providers, including operational, legal, regulatory, information security, reputational, commercial, and resiliency risks. If we are unable to effectively manage our third-party relationships, these third parties are unable to meet their obligations to us, we are overly reliant on certain relationships, we are unable to negotiate favorable contractual terms, or we experience substantial disruptions in these relationships (including interruptions to the availability of our products and services), our operations, liquidity, results of operations, and financial results could be adversely impacted. Additionally, our relationships with third parties inherently involve a lesser degree of control over business operations, governance, and compliance (including anti-money laundering, sanctions, consumer protection, and other regulatory compliance), which potentially increases our financial, legal, reputational, and operational risk.
