Recently started buying some US stocks that will pay dividends. Is the final amount credited to my custodian account after all taxes and service fees?

Also, have filled up the W8BEN form beforehand. Now just have to wait for the dividends to be transferred to my account after PayDate?

Hi HY, the final amount should be after all taxes and service fees. At least that's what I'm seeing for my US stocks. I'm using FSMOne. ​​​

Technically yes. It will take 1-2 working days post paydate (depending on brokerage) for the USD div...
