Is there usually a 2 day delay from U.S dividend payout dates and when it lands in your FT account?
Just noticed it was the case on my first ever dividend.
Yes.
Yes, I find that Freetrade are slow with adding dividends to accounts (compared to other brokers I use) but I donāt really mind as long as the dividends get paid in the end.

Thatās interesting because I seem to have been getting US dividends on the same day theyāre paid
Trading 212 are lot slower
Yep mine too, Iāve found my payments have been the same day. What payment are you due?
Yes there seems to be another thread about delays on dividend payments from another customer; so iām quite sure itās an old issue that hasnāt been quite resolved yet despite the predictable FT fanboy input.
It was something to do about admin delaysā¦As you say as long as i know and i still get them then itās fineā¦Would have been good to know before hand is all.
Currently, I used https://www.dividendmax.com/ to track what divis are on their way so I know when to expect them and how much

I know when the dividends are going to be paid out and how muchā¦I just didnāt know about the FT delay.
My experience has generally been UK stocks getting same day dividend payments from FT. US stocks over the past year Iāve generally got the day after.
Although this week I waited 3 days for a US dividend to come through, first time Iāve had that happen. Maybe there was a holdup, maybe things have slowed down with more users or maybe its being held along with others for interest purposes. Just my experience.
Maybe it depends on the U.S. company itself?
Why would it depend on the US company itself? They pay out on the day they say they do and its a system thatās operated for years?
US friends got theirs on the day they were due, some Canadian friends got theirs a day later which was the norm for themā¦ So the delay is very clearly on the brokerage side here.
I believe it is also ā¦Just trying to play devils advocateā¦It might not be a perfect system.
I just got a dividend for $O today on time as usual. Just posting for reference.
Perhaps thereās some specific companies that are slightly delayed in paying out?
Iāve been waiting 2 days for a payout from another U.S holding alsoā¦The first one was Johnson & Johnson and the current one is Realty Income Corp; so itās unlikely itās anything but a Freetrade holdup that hasnāt been rectified from the past.
Interesting that ive been paid my realty income dividend today and you havenāt yet?
Iāve checked several timesā¦My calculations are correct and itās definitely a Freetrade hold upā¦Again.
I wouldnāt know, Iām not using T212 but it will be intriguing to know when they take on new customers and i join.

Itās not good that different customers are getting dividends at different times for the same holdingā¦Not good at all.
They take a few weeks
