Western Alliance Bancorporation's dividend schedule
Western Alliance Bancorporation has paid quarterly across the 7 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 13, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Across the 29 announcements we have on file, WAL declares a dividend a median of 14 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice WAL gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 15 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 5 raises in our record, most take effect with the November payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 10.5%, effective with the November 2025 ex-date.

- Western Alliance Bancorporation has historically paid quarterly, across 29 payments since August 2019.
