Arrange to have your dividends paid direct into your bank account
This means that:
- Your dividend reaches your bank account on the payment date
- It is more secure – cheques can sometimes get lost in the post
- You don’t have the inconvenience of depositing a cheque.
- Helps reduce cheque fraud.
If you have a UK bank account you can sign up for this service on Signal shares (by clicking on ‘your dividend options’ and following the on screen instructions) or by contacting the Customer Support Centre.
