Schedule a payment, notify your investors and issue payment statements

To schedule the payment, from the Payment details page, click Approve and schedule payment.

Notifying your investors

This box also indicates the number of investors who will receive the email. You can preview the email before it goes to your investors by clicking the See notice of payment email preview link.
2. To send the notification, click the Send notice of payment email button. 
3. You will be asked to provide a final confirmation before the email is sent.
   • If you're ready to send the email, click the Yes button. 
   • If not, click the No, I'm not ready link.

Once a payment is scheduled, from the record date:

• You will be able to download an ABA file to review.
• You will be able to manage your cheque payments (if applicable).
• DRP payments will be processed (if applicable).

Send statements

• On Payment date on the Payment details page under the table Calculated payment amounts click on each Payment method e.g. Direct Credit to view and send statements
• To send statements under each Payment method click on Send unsent statements
  

Your payment will now appear in the list of payments.

Additional Information:

• Investors holding shares/units on the Record date will automatically be notified by email.
• For investors without a recorded email address, an email will be sent to you with a PDF that can be printed and mailed to the investor. This letter will inform the investor of the payment details and request them to update their details in their Investor centre.
