Special dividends
Payments well outside EFX's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.
| Ex-date | Amount |

| Jul 9, 2001 | $15.00 |
| Aug 8, 1997 | $3.575 |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own EFX before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.
- How often does EFX pay a dividend?
- Equifax Inc has historically paid quarterly, across 159 payments since November 1987.
- How much does EFX pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.56 per share, with an ex-date of August 31, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $2.24 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does EFX announce its dividend?
- A median of 15 days before the ex-date, across the 56 declarations we hold.
