Quick Summary
To receive a dividend from a company, you need to own shares on the 'record date'. This is the date the company checks its records to see who is eligible for the dividend payment. Buying shares before the book closure period, which is when share transfers aren't registered, is generally advisable to ensure you are on the record.
