What happens to my trading account if a company issues a dividend?

If you are an eligible shareholder, we'll credit your account with the dividend amount on the payment date.

Dividend payments may be subject to US withholding tax which will be withheld by the Third Party Broker. Withholding tax is normally 30% but may be reduced depending on your country of residence and whether that country has an applicable tax treaty.
