Once a holiday weekend comes around, everything can become a frantic rush — family gatherings, last-minute shopping trips, ever-changing holiday decorations. It's easy to lose track of which days your bank is closed, but you also don't want it to affect your day off if you need to access money in one of your bank accounts.
We've included a list of holidays when most banks (including the best banks in the U.S.) close, plus alternatives for accessing cash if you need money quickly.
Many banks will remain open on New Year's Eve since it's not a federal holiday. However, some financial institutions could close early.
This is especially more common among local financial institutions. Camino Federal Credit Union, Citizens Bank & Trust, and Partners Federal Credit Union are just a few examples of financial institutions that close early on New Year's Eve.
Most banks will be closed on New Year's Day because it's a federal holiday. It's listed in the Federal Reserve System's holiday schedule which many banks follow.
When a bank holiday occurs, both brick-and-mortar and online-only banking customers are impacted. If you bank at a traditional institution, nearby branches will be closed. If you bank at an online institution, your transactions may be delayed until the next business day, and customer support may be limited.
Most banks will reopen with regular hours on Thursday, January 2. If you need to go to the bank soon, make sure to conduct business before the holiday to avoid dilemmas. ATMs aren't impacted by banking holidays, so you can still visit those on New Year's Day if you need quick cash.
Banks and financial institutions close on federal holidays. Most have a holiday list on their website to let you know and prepare ahead of time.
Some brick-and-mortar national banks have a list in the FAQ section of the website.
Others, like TD Bank and Regions Bank, have separate pages with bank holiday schedules. During these holidays, brick-and-mortar banks will close all of their branches or modify their branch hours. Customer service hours may also vary depending on where you bank.
If a bank doesn't have a holiday schedule on its website, your best bet will be to call your nearest branch to know which holidays it's observing.
Online banks usually don't have physical branch locations, but you still may be affected. When an online bank observes a holiday, transactions may be delayed until the next day.
Customer service availability will usually stay the same with online banks, but there are some exceptions. Capital One 360 offers customer service support for all holidays except the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.
Most financial institutions follow the Federal Reserve System's holiday schedule. Here is the holiday schedule for 2025.
If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the bank will still be open on a Friday. But if a holiday occurs on a Sunday, the bank will be closed the following Monday.
The stock market is open on most of the same days as banks, with a few exceptions.
Most banking transactions don't process on bank holidays, regardless of whether you use an online or brick-and-mortar bank.
Ally Bank, for instance, doesn't let you make any money-related transactions on federal holidays. The online banking platform Chime also has a list of holidays when it can't process direct deposits.
Transactions at brick-and-mortar banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America won't be processed until the next business day. Business days are weekdays when branches are in operation.
So, instead of hinging on a lagging direct deposit, you may want to come up with a backup plan in case the transaction gets delayed.
Branches are closed on federal holidays, but ATMs aren't. If you have a debit or ATM card, you can still use a machine to take out cash during the holidays.
If you're out of town, you can also use a debit card to get cash back at a store if you don't have any free ATMs nearby. That way, you don't have to pay an out-of-network ATM fee if your bank doesn't reimburse charges.
If you receive a personal check during the holidays, there are a few roundabout ways access to your money quickly.
You can cash the check out at a store if you need money in a pinch.
Some ATMs let you cash or deposit checks, but you may already need to have those funds in your account. If your bank's ATM network doesn't let you make check transactions, you can deposit the check using your bank's online or mobile features, then cash your check out using an ATM.
Funds likely won't be available right away, so this alternative works best if you prefer to have money safe in your account and don't mind waiting a day or two.
