Dividends Paid Direct To Your Bank Account

Having dividends paid direct to your bank account has the following advantages:

• avoids the risk of cheques being lost in the post;
• saves you time in presenting the cheque for payment;
• the dividend is credited to your account on the payment date.

The tax voucher is sent to your registered address at the same time as the dividend is credited to your account. To set up a new dividend mandate please log on to www.shareview.co.uk or contact the Registrar at: Equiniti Ltd, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA.
