Barclays.comDividends
Barclays declares and pays dividends on a quarterly basis. There are three equal payments in June, September and December each year and a final variable payment in March. We intend our dividend policy to be progressive.
As a shareholder, you can choose how to receive your dividend payment. Options include joining the Barclays Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) or receiving dividends directly into your bank or building society account.

Bank mandate
The majority of Barclays shareholders have their dividends paid into their bank or building society account. It's safer, quicker and easier for your dividends to be paid directly to you.
You may be charged £10 plus VAT if you lose your dividend cheque and it has to be reissued to you.
Please download a Bank Mandate Form using the link on this page, and return it to The Registrar to Barclays at the address on the form.

The DRIP is a straightforward and cost-effective way of using your dividends to build your shareholding in Barclays.
Legal restrictions apply. Barclays DRIP is not available to shareholders who live in or are subject to the jurisdiction of any country where participation would require Barclays or the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Administrator to take action to comply with local government or regulatory procedures or any similar formalities. Participation is not available to residents of the USA or Canada.
How to participate in the DRIP
If you wish to join the DRIP, please download and complete a Dividend Reinvestment Plan Mandate Form, and read the related terms and conditions on this page.
