From September 2022, payments to shareholders will no longer be made by cheque. To continue to receive your BT Group dividends and any other money payable to you in connection with your BT Group plc shares, you must provide your bank or building society account details to our registrar, Equiniti, so that payments can be made directly to your nominated account.
Full details on how to arrange direct dividend payments are on the Equiniti website, or you can provide your bank or building society account details via your Shareview Portfolio or by contacting the Shareholder Helpline (details below).
If you do not provide your bank or building society account details, your dividend payment will be retained until your bank details are received, after which payment will be credited to your account as soon as possible. Your dividends will not accrue interest while they are being held for you and there may be a fee for Equiniti to reissue payments.
From September 2018, cheque dividend payments for shares in EasyShare1 were withdrawn. If you didn't provide bank details by 31 July 2018, your cash dividends will have been reinvested in the BT Group plc Dividend investment Plan (‘the plan’2) to purchase additional shares in BT Group plc. With effect from 29 May 2020, if you elect to receive your EasyShare dividends as cash, you must provide us with your bank or building society account details, otherwise your dividend payments will be retained and you may be charged a fee for Equiniti to reissue payments.
You can provide your bank or building society details via your Shareview Portfolio or by contacting the Shareholder Helpline.

The FCA Warning List is a list of firms and individuals we know are operating without our authorisation.3. Get impartial advice
Think about getting impartial financial advice before you hand over any money. Seek advice from someone unconnected to the firm that has approached you.
