Karachi: Habib Bank Limited has announced the credit of its First Interim Cash Dividend D-2025 (I) for shareholders, following a board meeting held on April 25, 2025. The dividend, valued at Rs 4.50 per share or 45%, pertains to the bank’s financial performance for the first quarter ending March 31, 2025. The shareholders eligible for this dividend were those whose names appeared in the records at the close of business on May 6, 2025.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), shareholders can access these details electronically from the CCDR for record maintenance or tax filing purposes by registering for eDividend. However, dividend payments have been withheld for shareholders who have not submitted valid IBAN details.
