Dividends paid direct to your bank account

Having dividends paid direct to your bank account has the following advantages:

  • avoids the risk of cheques being lost and incurring a replacement fee;
  • saves you time in presenting the cheque for payment; and
  • the dividend is credited to your account on the payment date.

The tax voucher is sent to your registered address at the same time as the dividend is credited to your account.
