Dividends payment!

Help šŸ‘‹
22

Hey Alex, can you confirm whether ETFs use the US stocks, the UK stocks or a completely different model in order to pay their dividends?

23

Is there a quick way on Freetrade to know which companies actually pay out dividends and on which dates??

24

I donā€™t think there is, well at least I havenā€™t found anything.

Come on Freetrade lets see some improvementsšŸ¤“

Hello there I got a notification saying I received my dividend of the s and p 500, but I donā€™t physically see it in my bank balance.

Welcome to the forum.

Dividend income isnā€™t paid into your bank, it is paid into your Freetrade account and you will be able to see it as cash ā€˜available to investā€™.

Check under your ā€˜Activityā€™ tab.

Hello there,

Sorry I was not clear enough. I got an email saying I received the dividend but it hasnā€™t been paid to me on my Freetrade account on my ISA. I do see it on the activity area but I canā€™t see the actual money that has been deposited on my ISA balance.

If you can see it in the activity area, then itā€™s probably already included in your balance.

When you click on the account tab, do you see an amount ā€˜Available to investā€™?

It should be in that balance and if not, did you make a purchase after the dividend payment date (as specified in your email) and use up the cash that was paid to you?

The Payment Date is stated in the email (4th line down, after the Ex date).

Does anyone else find it annoying that FT pay you a dividend, but you donā€™t get notified until later on in the day. Find it really difficult to keep track of the money available to invest. Unless you know exactly how much cash you have every day, I canā€™t tell if the dividend money has been added or not. Iā€™m not saying there not paying me, but I just wish there was an easier way of keeping track as opposed to taking snapshots every day!

Yep. Iā€™ve said it before and Iā€™ll say it again - there needs to be a rolling balance figure like on a bank account so that you see the effect of each transaction.
