RE: Dividend payment18 May 2023 15:29
Depends who your broker is, Holmesi1. For example, with Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) it'll appear in the Income section of your account. You will then have to choose (on your account's Settings web page) whether you want it paid into your nominated bank account, reinvested in the dividend payer (in this case AV.) or just placed in your cash balance for you to invest it into another share. HL don't do anything with the money in the Income section until sometime around 10th of the month. So, in this case it'll be about a month before the money is moved, around 10th June. On the other hand, if a dividend is paid on the 8th of the month, then it will be available within a couple of days.
Hope that helps.
