Cash Dividends
You will automatically receive your dividends in cash unless you have given notice that you wish to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Dividends paid in cash will be received by direct credit into a nominated bank account in AUD, GBP, NZD and USD (as applicable).

From 5 October 2023, AUD cheques are no longer issued to shareholders who do not nominate a valid bank account to receive cash dividends.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and Bonus Share Plan (BSP)
National Australia Bank Limited’s (NAB) Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and Bonus Share Plan (BSP) (together, the Plans) allow eligible NAB shareholders to reinvest all or part of any dividend paid on their fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) in additional Shares (New Shares) instead of receiving the dividend in cash.
Participation in the Plans by eligible NAB shareholders is entirely optional. The BSP has been closed to new participants since 10 May 2007.
The Plans are administered in accordance with the Plan Rules dated 5 October 2023 and in compliance with Australian law. It is important that you read the Plan Rules carefully before deciding whether to participate in the DRP or BSP. Read the National Australia Bank DRP and BSP Terms and Conditions.
When NAB announces a dividend, information on the dividend, including the price per New Share for the purposes of the Plans, will be set out in a Notification of Dividend/Distribution that NAB lodges with the ASX.
The Plan Rules, the Notification of Dividend/Distribution for a dividend and this notice are collectively referred to as the “Plan Documents”. The Plan Documents do not constitute an offer of New Shares in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, the Plans are not available to persons in, and the New Shares may not be offered or sold in, any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below. NAB shareholders outside Australia who do not have a registered address in a permitted jurisdiction listed below are not eligible to participate in the Plans.
