According to the company, shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members as at the close of business on Monday, October 6, 2025, will qualify for the dividend. The Register will be closed from October 7 to October 14, 2025, while electronic payments are scheduled for Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
The bank also encouraged investors who have yet to complete their e-dividend registration to do so promptly by downloading the mandate activation form from its registrar’s website, First Registrars & Investor Services Limited. This process ensures direct crediting of dividends into shareholders’ bank accounts, a measure designed to eliminate the perennial problem of unclaimed dividends.
Stanbic IBTC further advised holders of unclaimed dividend warrants and share certificates to contact its registrar for resolution.
