When will Wema Bank shareholders receive the 2025 dividend payment in Nigeria?

Yes — Wema Bank Plc officially scheduled the 2025 final dividend payment for May 20, 2026. The declared dividend was ₦1.25 per share for shareholders who qualified before the record date.
Since today is May 21, 2026, many shareholders should already have started receiving payments, especially those who:
completed their e-dividend registration
linked the correct bank account
held the shares before the qualification date (April 29, 2026)
If you have not received yours yet, the most common reasons are:
E-dividend mandate not activated
This is the most common issue in Nigeria.
Without e-dividend, payment may remain pending or become “unclaimed dividend.”
Registrar processing delay
Some brokers and banks reflect dividends 24–72 hours after payment date.
Name mismatch
Differences between CSCS name, BVN name, and bank account name can delay payment.
You bought after qualification date
To qualify, you needed to own the shares before the ex-dividend date.
Shares still pending settlement
If you bought close to qualification date and trade had settlement delays, you may miss that cycle.
The registrar handling Wema Bank dividends is:
Greenwich Registrars and Data Solutions Limited
You can check your dividend status or e-dividend mandate through:

Wema Bank also advised shareholders without e-dividend registration to complete the mandate form through the registrar.
