NCBA pays twice a year: a final dividend paid around late May and an interim paid in September or October. Note that NCBA shares have been affected by Nedbank’s offer for control of the group; see our Nedbank offer and trading suspension report before buying for dividends. Years are grouped by when the money was paid, not by the financial year the dividend relates to, so a year with two payments is not necessarily a bigger year for profits.

How to qualify for NCBA dividends
- 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.
- 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.
- Claim anything missing. Unpaid dividends are eventually transferred to the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority; see how to check and claim unclaimed dividends.
