After determining record date eligibility for a dividend payment, AST calculates the dividend amount and handles the printing, posting and distribution of dividend payments.

AST offers several means of dividend disbursement, including dividend check sent to home or designated dividend address, electronic deposit into a shareholder bank account, or reinvestment in additional shares of the company (through a dividend reinvestment or direct stock purchase plan).

AST also offers ancillary dividend services to all shareholders, including check replacement and reissuance, photocopies of paid checks upon request, forgery claim processing, replacement of stale-dated checks, and complete dividend tax reporting.
