The Calista Corporation is campaigning to get more shareholders to receive their dividends through direct deposit. As an incentive, Calista is offering $250 to 10 people who register for direct deposit by 5 p.m. on September 23. The winners will be chosen through a drawing the following week. Anyone who has registered for direct deposit this year is eligible.
Calista spokesman Thom Leonard says that direct deposits streamline the dividend process, meaning shareholders get their dividends faster and the corporation saves money by not having to print and mail checks.
Deposit forms can be filled out on the corporation’s website. Shareholders can also cut out and mail in a direct deposit form from Calista’s August/September Storyknife newsletter. The board of directors has not voted on the corporation’s next dividend date.
