How to qualify for BOC Kenya dividends

1. Own the shares before the ex-dividend date. If you buy on or after that date, the seller gets the dividend. Track upcoming dates in our NSE dividend calendar.
2. Hold them in your own CDS account through a licensed stockbroker; see how to buy shares on the NSE. Keep your bank or M-Pesa details up to date with the share registrar so payments are not returned.
3. Claim anything missing. Unpaid dividends are eventually transferred to the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority; see how to check and claim unclaimed dividends.
