Today is ex-dividend day for a large number of ASX 200 shares.
When this happens, it means the rights to the dividend are locked in and new buyers won't be eligible to receive this payout when it is made.
This means that even if you bought shares today, the rights would stay with the seller and they would receive the dividend on pay day.
So, if you are a shareholder of any of the seven ASX 200 shares named below, you can look forward to a pay check coming your way in the not-so-distant future.
