Does Banco Bradesco (BBD) pay a dividend?
Yes. Banco Bradesco distributes a dividend yielding roughly 4.81% as of August 2026, paid monthly, twelve times a year. The most recent payment on record was $0.0670 per share, with an ex-dividend date of July 7, 2026. Annualized, that is about $0.17 per share.
BBD trades at a low trailing earnings multiple of roughly 10.5x, well below the average for large U.S. and European banks, reflecting the market's discount for Brazilian macro, currency, and competitive risk rather than a distressed balance sheet. Dividend yield figures vary widely across data providers (from under 1 percent to more than 6 percent) because Brazilian banks pay frequent small dividends and interest-on-capital rather than a single stable quarterly payout, so any single quoted yield should be treated with caution. All reais-denominated figures are subject to translation into dollars at prevailing exchange rates, which materially affects reported ADR results.

Is the BBD dividend covered?
Banco Bradesco paid out about 59% of its earnings as dividends, so the payout is comfortably covered. That is the range most established dividend payers sit in: enough profit is retained to keep funding the business, with room to raise the dividend if earnings grow.
Coverage is the question worth asking before yield. A dividend is only as good as the earnings behind it, and the highest yields on any screen are often the ones closest to being cut. Walnut is informational and is not an investment adviser.
How the BBD dividend has changed
The latest payment of $0.0670 per share compares with $0.0030 in the equivalent payment a year earlier (November 5, 2024). We are not quoting a growth rate from those two figures, because a change that large usually means a share split or a gap in the stored history rather than a real raise.
A single year says little on its own. What dividend-growth investors track is the multi-year record: whether the payout has risen through a downturn, and whether the raises have kept pace with inflation. That record is on BBD's investor relations page.
What BBD's dividend means for you
- Income: about $481 a year per $10,000 invested, before tax.
- Yield is a ratio, not a payment: it rises when the share price falls. A jump in yield without a raise in the dividend means the stock got cheaper, which may or may not be good news.
- Total return: for BBD the dividend is one part of return and price change is usually the larger part. Compare total return, not yield, when weighing it against another holding.
- Reinvest or take the cash: a DRIP compounds the position automatically; taking the cash gives you income now. Either way it is taxable in a taxable account.
- If you want more yield: dedicated dividend names and funds target higher, steadier payouts. See the best dividend stocks and best dividend ETFs.
How BBD dividends are taxed
Dividends from US common stock are usually qualified, which means they are taxed at long-term capital-gains rates rather than as ordinary income, as long as you held the shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day window around the ex-dividend date. Distributions from REITs and BDCs generally do not qualify and are taxed as ordinary income. Inside an IRA, Roth, or 401(k) none of this applies while the money stays in the account. Full detail is in how dividends are taxed. This is not tax advice.

FAQ
Does Banco Bradesco (BBD) pay a dividend?
+
Yes. Banco Bradesco pays a dividend yielding roughly 4.81% as of August 2026, paid monthly, twelve times a year. The most recent payment on record was $0.0670 per share with an ex-dividend date of July 7, 2026. That works out to a forward annual rate of about $0.17 per share. Yields move with the share price, so verify the current figure with your broker or BBD's investor relations page before relying on it.
What is BBD's dividend yield?
+
About 4.81% as of August 2026. On a $10,000 position that is roughly $481 of dividend income a year before tax. For context, the S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so BBD yields meaningfully more than the broad market. A higher yield is not automatically better: it can reflect a falling share price as easily as a generous payout, so it is worth checking why the number is what it is.
How often does BBD pay its dividend?
+
Banco Bradesco pays monthly, twelve times a year. The most recent payment on record had an ex-dividend date of July 7, 2026. To receive a given payment you have to own the shares before the ex-dividend date, not on the pay date. Confirm upcoming dates on BBD's investor relations page, because boards can change both the amount and the timing.
When is BBD's ex-dividend date?
+
The ex-dividend date recorded in our August 2026 data pull is August 5, 2026. The ex-dividend date is the cutoff: buy on or after it and the seller keeps that payment, not you. Buying just before the ex-date to capture the dividend does not create free money, because the share price typically drops by roughly the dividend amount when the stock goes ex. Check BBD's investor relations page for the next confirmed date.
Has Banco Bradesco raised its dividend recently?
+
Yes. The latest payment of $0.0670 per share is above the $0.0030 paid in the same slot a year earlier. One raise is not a policy, though: check the multi-year record on BBD's investor relations page, since a long streak of increases is what dividend-growth investors actually look for.
Is BBD's dividend safe?
+
Banco Bradesco paid out about 59% of its earnings as dividends, so the payout is comfortably covered. That is the range most established dividend payers sit in: enough profit is retained to keep funding the business, with room to raise the dividend if earnings grow. Nobody can guarantee a dividend: boards cut them, and a high yield is sometimes the market pricing in exactly that. Walnut is not an investment adviser and this is not a recommendation.
How much would I earn in dividends from a $10,000 position in BBD?
+
At a yield of about 4.81%, roughly $481 a year before tax, spread across 12 payments. That is a snapshot, not a promise: the amount changes when the company changes its payout, and your yield on cost is fixed at the price you paid, not at today's price.
Are BBD dividends qualified for tax purposes?
+
Dividends from US common stock are usually qualified, meaning they are taxed at the lower long-term capital-gains rates, provided you held the shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day window around the ex-dividend date. Distributions from REITs, BDCs, and some pass-through structures are generally taxed as ordinary income instead. In an IRA or Roth the question does not arise. See our guide to how dividends are taxed. This is not tax advice.
Should I reinvest BBD dividends?
+
Most brokers offer automatic reinvestment (a DRIP) that puts each BBD payment straight back into more shares, often fractional ones. Reinvesting compounds the position and is the standard choice when you do not need the cash yet. Taking the cash makes sense when you are spending the income or want to direct it elsewhere. Either way the dividend is taxable in a taxable account in the year it is paid, even if you never see the money.
Does BBD pay a dividend?
+
Yes. Like most Brazilian banks, Bradesco distributes cash to shareholders through frequent small dividends and interest-on-capital payments rather than one fixed quarterly dividend. Because of this, quoted dividend yields vary a lot across data providers, so investors should look at trailing 12-month distributions rather than a single headline yield figure.
