MA Ex-Dividend Date

As of Oct 15, 2026, MA's next ex-dividend date hasn't been announced; the most recent was Oct 9, 2026. Based on its quarterly schedule, check back or watch the dividend calendar for the announcement.

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy MA on or after the ex-dividend date, the seller — not you — receives the upcoming payment. Buy before it and you're entitled to the dividend.

You must own MA before the ex-dividend date — i.e. buy at least one trading day earlier. Since the move to T+1 settlement, the record date and ex-dividend date now fall on the same day, so the ex-date is the deadline that matters.

As of Oct 15, 2026, MA's most recent dividend was $0.8700 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $3.37 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 0.58%.
