First Busey Corp /Nv/'s dividend schedule
First Busey Corp /Nv/ has paid quarterly across the 27 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on July 24, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 56 announcements we have on file, BUSE declares a dividend a median of 9 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice BUSE gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 8 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 10 raises in our record, most take effect with the January payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 4.0%, effective with the January 2026 ex-date.
