Federal Bank Holidays 2019 – Is My Bank Open Today?

Wondering if your bank is open on a certain holiday? Here’s a schedule of holidays observed by the U.S. Federal Reserve System (FRS). Though not all banks must close on all federal holidays, many do. Therefore, check the federal reserve bank holidays calendar to see if your local bank branch is likely to be closed for a holiday.

If you need to see a banker in-person on a holiday, call ahead or check your bank’s website for details on holiday hours and closures. Even if your local bank branch is closed, you may still be able to access banking services online through its website, on its banking app, or calling its toll-free number.

With online banks like CIT Bank and Discover, you can’t transfer money to and from your account on holidays. However, you can still check your account.

Holiday Observations

When a holiday falls on a weekend, the FRS treats the holiday in one of two ways:

*If the holiday falls on a Saturday, the FRS does not observe the holiday on the preceding Friday.

**If the holiday falls on a Sunday, the FRS observes the holiday on the subsequent Monday.
