Payment of dividends

I tried to ask this question in the chat section but it kept sending me round in circles.

When a company pays a dividend, where does the Money Go? The chatbot told me it would go in my trading 212 account but I had kind of already guessed that! It said it wouldn’t automatically go into the free funds of my stock ISA, but would go into my trading 212 account and that I would be able to invest it how I wanted. This doesn’t really make sense to me because my trading 212 account consists of cash ISA and a stock ISA and where else could the dividend go?

I assume it doesn’t go into my cash ISA. So it must go into the free cash in my stock ISA yes?

It goes into the same account that the stock is held in. If it’s not in your free funds, check the your pies free funds.
