I think that this will be a tougher one to implement but on the briscord thereās lots of confusion around how, when and if dividends will be paid.
I appreciate the delay is out of control and I personally do not have a problem with dividends being delayed a few days.
However, is it possible for a dividend alert, or list of āearned dividendsā to be shown so the user knows that it will eventually received said dividend.
It does not need an expected date, but it shows the user that a dividend has been allocated.
I can bet it will cut down on a lot of wasted customer service time too.**
As requests go thatās gotta be pretty easy for t212 to implement. Itās data. Data of dividend events versus data of client transactions. Did {client} hold greater than 0 shares on Ex-date. Thatās it.
ā¦ and by the way, FinKi dividend data is on-demand and now (nearly) live. Most dividends are reflected the day after announcement (as the validation routine cleanses for errors rather than ingest the data on declaration date). So āmostā new dividends are available on the API in declaration+1
I too hope t212 build it as dividend queries on the forum annoy me only fractionally less than the ARK requests and āwrong priceā repetitions.
Agree on this. Ended up here today as Iāve got a dividend that I think is now a week old since it was paid. Its frustrating but if you knew it was being sorted you would have a query
Yeah. The dividend flow from IB to T212 seems less than perfect. The sheer trading volumes alone wonāt be helping. But, as someone whose first ever job in a stock brokerage was paying dividends, I sympathise with T212 somewhat. That said, we automated the process decades ago and paid nearly all dividends on paydate IF we had ourselves received the funds.
