Bank of New York Mellon Corp's dividend schedule
Bank of New York Mellon Corp has paid quarterly across the 38 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 27, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 162 announcements we have on file, BNY declares a dividend a median of 11 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice BNY gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 19 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 20 raises in our record, most take effect with the July payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 18.9%, effective with the July 2026 ex-date.
