Our series on the latest ASX 200 shares that have upcoming dividend payments to make to their shareholders continues this Friday. Reporting season is now pretty much behind us, but there are still a few ASX 200 income shares that are set to fork out shareholder payments over the coming weeks. With that in mind, it's time to take stock of the ASX 200 dividend shares that will trade ex-dividend next week.
Remember, when a dividend stock trades ex-dividend, it cuts off new investors from receiving the company's latest payment. So if you wish to bank the latest dividend from any of these six shares, you have to own them before the company's nominated date.
If you buy the shares after or even on this ex-dividend date, you'll miss out this time, and have to wait until the company's next dividend is declared.
So here are the six ASX 200 dividend stocks that are scheduled to trade 'ex-div' next week, as well as their expected payouts:

Foolish takeaway
It's certainly going to be a quieter week for dividend investors next week, with no major blue chip shares on our list.
With the exception of Chorus (and perhaps Credit Corp), most of these shares also have rather small upcoming dividend payments relative to their share prices, so we shouldn't see too many dramatic share price moves when these shares do trade ex-dividend.
But even so, shareholders of these companies can now look forward to receiving their imminent paycheques.
