Vanguard Dividend Auto-Transfer to Bank
I have it set up so that Dividends should transfer to a settlement account before being withdrawn and sent to my Bank at M1 Finance (and auto invested once at M1).
However, the dividends posted on 10/4 but were just sitting in the money market account and didn’t transfer to my bank.
Vanguard doesn’t mention the schedule of transfers to external banks….does that only happen once at the end or start of a month?

Re: Vanguard Dividend Auto-Transfer to Bank
A couple of questions:
A) Have you attached a bank account to your Vanguard account?
B) Have you setup a scheduled transfer from your settlement account into your checking?

Since I take a monthly distribution, in the upper right hand corner, there is Profile and Account settings. Click that and there will be an entry for Automatic Withdraws.
I do not know if this technique would apply to you.

I see. I guess you can manage it both ways, just strange that the dividend setting isn’t seeming to work at allBMWrider1986 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 10:20 am Since I take a monthly distribution, in the upper right hand corner, there is Profile and Account settings.

Maybe I need to talk to Vanguard

If you would not mind, could you please post the results of your conversation with Vanguard?

I’m not sure why that would matter since the funds are just sitting in my settlement account?

Re: Vanguard Dividend Auto-Transfer to Bank
Like you said earlier, a call to Vanguard would be in order. I am just throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what may stick.
FWIW, all my holdings are in MF…

Re: Vanguard Dividend Auto-Transfer to Bank
Totally bizarre restriction. But it's vanguard, so I guess not too surprising. Maybe I should just transfer my funds to M1.
Still waiting on confirmation since I sent them an email about it.

If you are transferring the dividends to M1. Why not just transfer all positions in kind?Nathan Drake wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 8:33 pmTotally bizarre restriction. But it's vanguard, so I guess not too surprising. Maybe I should just transfer my funds to M1.

It represents a huge portion of my portfolio and M1 is fairly new. I didn't really want to bother transferring the assets at first.pizzy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 8:46 pmIf you are transferring the dividends to M1.

Re: Vanguard Dividend Auto-Transfer to Bank
Why not do it manually instead of trying to set up auto-transfer? It can't be that much extra work. (Full disclosure: all of my transfers are manual because I don't trust auto-transfer at any institution.)

Just annoying more than anything else, otherwise it's not a huge deal. I'm a big fan of automation so I don't need to worry about it.UpperNwGuy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 10:05 pm Why not do it manually instead of trying to set up auto-transfer?
