Frequently asked questions

  • If you’re looking for dividend dates and events that aren’t on this page, head to the Share Centre. Simply visit the share details page for the stock you want to know about. For example, here’s the share details page for Lloyds Banking Group. Scroll down to ‘Company Information’ and select the ‘Dividends’ tab.

  • We don’t offer Scrip dividends. But we do offer our own Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), which lets you buy stock using your dividend payments. Dividend reinvestment incurs a charge of 2% (maximum £5), plus 0.5% UK stamp duty.

  • We aim to process dividends as quickly as possible. All payments are made within 10 working days of the payment date. For most UK stocks, we credit your share dealing account on the payment date, given we receive the payment and relevant documentation from the registrar.

    For Unit Trusts and foreign dividends, the process takes longer. This is due to us having to wait for external custodians to release payment. Foreign dividends typically appear one working day after the payment date, while Unit Trusts can take up to a week.

  • There are several reasons why your dividend reinvestment could fail:

    1. Did you select "Re-invest" as your Income Handling Option at least 24 hours before the dividend payment date?
    2. Was the dividend over £1.00, and does the total amount cover at least one share purchase on the stock market?
    3. Do you still hold the stock in your share dealing account for which the dividend was paid? Reinvestment can’t occur if you no longer have a holding.
    4. Is the stock eligible for reinvestment? Stocks not eligible include foreign stocks and those with a set investment amount, like bonds and gilts.
    5. If the stock is in an ISA, is this ISA active?
    6. Do you have any outstanding charges on your share dealing account?
    7. Have you passed all relevant ID and Money Laundering checks?

    If none of these apply to you, please contact us.

  • To receive a dividend payment, you must buy the stock before its ex-dividend date. If you purchase the stock on or after this date, you won’t get the next dividend payment. However, if you sell the stock on its ex-dividend date, you’ll still receive the next dividend payment.
