On the ex-dividend date for a cash dividend, IBKR will accrue the expected dividend to eligible accounts. The dividend will continue to accrue until the funds have been allocated by the clearing agent or depository.

IBKR will reflect upcoming dividend payments as an accrual in client accounts on or shortly after the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of the funds through our clearing agent or depository, the accrual will be reversed from the account and the cash dividend will be allocated to the Cash Balance of the account.

An account holder who purchases a US stock outside of normal or regular trading hours (i.e., 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) but during the extended trading hours session (i.e., 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the day prior to that stock going ex-dividend is entitled to receive that dividend.

All such trades will therefore settle within a time frame sufficient for the purchaser to be recognized as an owner of the shares prior to the close of the Record Date…

Receipt of a Payment in Lieu of dividend ('PIL') is generally a result of carrying a debit cash balance.  Customers maintaining a debit cash balance are subject to having their shares re-hypothecated by IBKR, which can cause receipt of PIL instead of ordinary dividends. For Interactive Brokers LLC customers, 140% of the debit cash balance in stock value can be unsegregated and therefore become subject to receiving PIL. …
