International Payment Service

Let us help you save time & money

If you hold shares in Shell or Vodafone we can send your dividends direct to your bank account using our International Payment Service.

It’s a service we can arrange in over 80 countries worldwide. The dividend will be credited to your account automatically - normally just a few days after the company’s dividend payment date.

How can I receive dividends this way?

Using the International Payment Service is easy. Equiniti can provide dividend payments that are automatically converted from the base currency (please see “Important notes & Terms and Conditions” for the base currency for the company you hold your shares in) into your local currency, by arrangement with our Equiniti Global Payments team.

How much does this cost?

We deduct a payment charge from each dividend payment before we convert it into your chosen currency.
