Entrust Chair Denise Lee, says that by checking their details now, Aucklanders in the Entrust District will receive their dividend in the payment format they prefer and without delay when it is paid later this year. Eligible power account holders get to choose if they would like their dividend paid to their bank account or as a credit to their power account. To be eligible to receive the 2025 dividend, you must be a power account holder connected to Vector's electricity network within the Entrust District on the roll date. 'It's an easy process. Eligible power account holders can choose how to receive their dividend. Having up to date information now means that power account holders receive their dividend without delay when the dividend is paid later this year.' Entrust is letting eligible Aucklanders know about the importance of updating their payment preference with letters and emails going out this week, as well as social media updates and advertising. 'By far the easiest and quickest way for people to update their payment preference is online via Entrust's secure web platform.
