Any update on being able to get paid dividends in the stock currency?

Take US stocks which I assume a significant number of members hold.

There are two reasons why it is preferable to be paid dividends in $ for US stocks.

1 - The money will typically be used to purchase more US stocks, so it will just incur the usual 0.15% FX fee when converting back to $ from your own currency.

2 - Fluctuating FX rates can have a significant impact on the amount received. Take GBP (£) for example - the $ is very weak compared to last month, so $1,000 in dividends received in January would have resulted in £806, whereas now it will only yield £790.

taking currency fluctuating out of the equation would be beneficial, particularly as multi currency accounts are available, i would have thought this could be easily applied.
