What is Dividend Reinvesting?
Instead of receiving cash payouts from dividends, you can now choose to automatically reinvest them into additional shares of the same investment—making it easier to grow your portfolio passively over time.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Dividend reinvesting is when your dividend payments are automatically used to purchase more shares of the stock, ETF, or fund that paid them—rather than being paid out in cash.
It’s a simple way to compound your returns over time.
When you turn on dividend reinvesting:
Dividends from eligible stocks or ETFs will be used to buy fractional shares of the same security.
The reinvestment happens automatically—no need to manually buy more shares.
Here are some of the benefits:
Compounding growth: Reinvested dividends can grow your investment faster over time.
Set-it-and-forget-it: Once enabled, it’s completely automated.
No additional fees: We don’t charge anything extra for this feature.
To enable dividend reinvesting:
Go to your Invest tab.
Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner
Locate "**Dividend Reinvesting**" under the Investing section.
Toggle it ON.
You can turn it off at any time.
Yes! If you prefer to receive your dividends in cash, simply leave the dividend reinvesting feature turned OFF.
