Northrim BanCorp, Inc. ( NASDAQ:NRIM ) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next four days. The ex-dividend date occurs one day before the record date which is the day on which shareholders need to be on the company's books in order to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is important as the process of settlement involves two full business days. So if you miss that date, you would not show up on the company's books on the record date. Meaning, you will need to purchase Northrim BanCorp's shares before the 14th of December to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 23rd of December.
