Technology services revenue primarily includes upfront payments from customers, which the Company generally recognizes as services are performed.

(2)

The Company elected the following practical expedients and therefore does not include amounts related to (1) performance obligations with an original duration of one year or less, and (2) variable consideration related to future service periods.

 

In addition to amounts disclosed in the tables above, certain technology services contracts require fixed minimum fees, which are billed on a monthly or quarterly basis in arrears. The Company recognizes such revenue as services are performed. As of March 31, 2022, the estimated fixed minimum fees for the remainder of the year approximated $620 million. The term for these contracts, which are either in their initial or renewal period, ranges from one to five years.

The table below presents changes in the technology services deferred revenue liability for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, which is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition:
