We hold 62 payments for it, going back to March 2011 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares.

BankUnited, Inc.'s dividend schedule
BankUnited, Inc. has paid quarterly across the 15 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 10, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 55 announcements we have on file, BKU declares a dividend a median of 16 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice BKU gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 18 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 8 raises in our record, most take effect with the April payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 6.5%, effective with the April 2026 ex-date.
