It's a big day for ex-dividend dates today and these are the financial shares to keep an eye on.

What is an ex-dividend date?

Ex-dividend dates represent the day an investor must hold a company's stock in order to receive its dividend. If someone buys shares in these companies today, their upcoming dividends will go to the shares' seller.

As a result, companies' share prices tend to dip on their ex-dividend date as part of their stock's value is unable to be traded.

So, without further ado, here are 4 financial shares going ex-dividend today.
