What's eDividend?

EDividend was introduced in Malaysia in recent year. It was a facility where the dividend will be deposited directly to the shareholders' bank accounts. Without eDividend facility, cheques will be issued and sent to the shareholders. The shareholders then required to deposit the cheques into their bank account. By implementing eDividend, the shareholders don't need to waste their time and energy to the go bank for cheque deposit. In additional, the dividend can be deposited into the bank account faster by using the electronic system.
