Overseas payment of dividends

Shareholders whose registered address is outside the United Kingdom, may be interested in a payment service that enables UK dividends to be paid directly into bank accounts in some 38 countries, in local currency.

Our registrar, Equiniti, can, with your consent, make future dividend payments on your shares via Citibank Europe PLC as payment agent, quickly, conveniently and at lower cost than generally incurred when encashing sterling cheques overseas. Citibank is the leading provider within the UK, for regular low value cross-border payments, including government pensions, interest and dividends.

The cost of using the service is related to the value of each dividend payment, as follows:

Dividend value Charge
Up to £10 £3
£10.01 to £2,500 £5
£2,500.01 to £10,000 £10
£10,000.01 to £15,000 £15
The range of countries for which the service is currently available is:
Antigua & Barbuda Germany New Zealand
Australia Greece Norway
Austria Grenada Portugal
Bahamas Guyana South Africa
Barbados Hong Kong Spain & Canaries
Belgium India St Kitts & Nevis
Canada Ireland St Lucia
Cyprus Israel St Vincent & Grenadines
