How do I receive dividends on Stake Wall St?
When you hold U.S. shares – including fractional shares – you're entitled to receive a portion of the company's dividend payouts. You’re eligible if you hold shares before the Ex-Dividend Date. This is the date the stock begins trading without the upcoming dividend. If you buy shares on or after the Ex-Dividend Date, the seller receives the dividend.
When will I receive the payment?
Eligible dividends are typically credited to your Stake USD Buying Power within 1–2 business days after the Payment Date. You can view them in the app under:
More > Funds and Balances > Transactions (filter for Dividends).
How is the dividend amount calculated?
Dividend payments are proportional to your shareholding.
Example: If a company pays US$10 per share and you hold 1.34 shares, you’ll receive US$13.40 (before tax).
What if I own fractional shares?
Fractional shares are eligible for dividends, but only if the total payout is at least US$0.01. Smaller amounts may not be credited.
Where can I find dividend dates?
Dividend dates are set by each company:
Record Date – when shareholder eligibility is determined
Ex-Dividend Date – the date you must hold shares before to qualify
Payment Date – when the dividend is paid to your broker
You can find these on the company’s Investor Relations page or financial news sites.
How do I track my dividends?
You can find a full breakdown of dividend payments and tax withheld under:
More > Funds and Balances > Transactions
Account > Tax & Documents > Account Statements
Use the filter to view dividends only.
Does Stake offer dividend reinvestment?
No – Stake currently does not offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) for U.S. stocks.
Manual reinvestment: You can manually reinvest your dividends once the cash settles (minimum trade size US$10), thanks to fractional share support.
