PPS: I should have added if you reinvest the dividends automatically you get another share certificate every quarter, which is a bit of a pain, so I stopped doing that.

My dividends show on my account first thing in the morning on the day of payment because I keep the shares in certificated form in my own name and the dividend is paid straight to me instead of through a middleman.
Not that a delay of a few hours in receiving the dividend is of any consequence.
Just saying, like..

Then requires no onward processing.....;)

People pay peanuts then expect a Coutts level of service.

How about buy on a platform and then "dematerialise" into a share certificate.

from JoeCrystal's post, SVS looks like a cheap way to do that - £5.75 to buy + £15 to dematerialize = £20.75

My latest dividends (Vanguard) appeared around the same day (31/05) as due albeit late in the afternoon. Tracking back I see that HL have always paid me a dividend on the correct payment date.
