Commercial Paper Program and Credit Facility
The Company has a commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) under which the Company is authorized to issue up to $8 billion in unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance. The Commercial Paper Program is available in U.S. dollars.
In conjunction with the Commercial Paper Program, the Company has a committed five-year unsecured $8 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is set to expire on November 7, 2030. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are available in U.S. dollars and/or euros. The facility fee under the Credit Facility is determined according to the Company’s credit rating and is payable on the average daily commitment, regardless of usage, per annum. In addition to the facility fee, interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility would be based on prevailing market interest rates plus applicable margins that fluctuate based on the Company’s credit rating. The Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and indemnification provisions. The Company was in compliance, in all material respects, with the covenants of the Credit Facility at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program and the Credit Facility, which may total up to $8 billion, are to be used to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes, including providing liquidity in the event of one or more settlement failures by the Company’s customers. The Company may borrow and repay amounts under the Commercial Paper Program and Credit Facility for business continuity purposes.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program or Credit Facility. During April 2026, the Company issued commercial paper. As of April 27, 2026, the Company had $2.5 billion of commercial paper outstanding, with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.82%, to be used for general corporate purposes. The Commercial Paper Program is supported by the Credit Facility.
