IPAY Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect

Last updated July 2026

Short answer

IPAY's approximate ~0.3% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Nasdaq CTA Global Digital Payments Index and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.75% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; IPAY is built for total return, not yield. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds. Yield is a recent snapshot, not a promise; verify the current figure with Amplify ETFs.

How does the IPAY dividend work?
