Payment options

You can choose how you’d like to receive your dividends:

1. Have your dividend paid in cash:

  • into your UK bank account
  • into your Eurozone bank account
  • through the Global Payment Service provided by our Registrar, Computershare. This option lets you take your dividends in one of 127 currencies. Visit Computershare's FAQs for more information, including fees.

2. Join our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP).This option lets you use your dividends to buy more Aviva ordinary shares, instead of taking them as cash.

There’s no entry fee and you can leave at any time at no charge. If you join you will pay commission, currently at 0.75% (subject to a minimum of £2.50), and stamp duty reserve tax, currently at 0.5%, on the market value of the Aviva ordinary shares we buy for you with your dividend payments. You can find full details in the DRIP terms and conditions.

If you’d like to join, do it online or by completing a form available from Computershare. You need to join at least 15 working days before a dividend payment date, or you’ll have to wait until your next dividend payment to get started. 

Please note: our DRIP is available to ordinary shareholders and members of the Aviva Share Account. Our service is for shareholders in the UK and some countries outside Europe. This service is not available to shareholders resident in the European Union. See clause 2.1 of our terms and conditions.

Tell us how you want us to pay your dividends

You need to tell us, through Computershare, how you’d like us to pay your dividends. If we don’t get your payment instruction, we’ll hold your dividends for you. Once we get your instruction, we’ll pay any unpaid dividends to you free of charge (subject to currency charges).

Dividend policy

On 7 March 2024, we upgraded our dividend guidance.

In light of the significant progress we have made and our confidence in Aviva’s future disclosed in our financial results for the year ended 31 December 2023, we now expect to grow the cash cost of the dividend by mid-single digits. Estimated dividends are for guidance and are subject to change. The Board has not approved or made any decision to pay any dividend in respect of any future period.
