Once a dividend is declared by a company's board of directors, the payment date is typically set for a specific date, often a few weeks to a couple of months later. The timeframe can vary depending on the company's policies and local regulations, but companies usually aim to pay dividends within a reasonable period after the declaration. Shareholders must be on record by the ex-dividend date to receive the payment.
