Are Banks Open Today?

The Federal Reserve calendar tells you about Reserve Bank operations, not every branch. A branch can close, open for reduced hours or operate inside a store on a different schedule.

Before you make a plan

ATMs, mobile banking, branch opening hours and settlement availability are different services.

The selected date is a calendar date in your chosen U.S. time zone. It is not a live operational alert. Follow the organization’s own schedule, then confirm the exact branch, service or appointment.

Branch hours and settlement are separate

A federal employee holiday does not automatically close every bank branch. Federal Reserve Banks also remain open on the Friday before a Saturday holiday, including June 18 and December 24, 2027. Individual banks may still use different branch hours.

  1. Open your bank’s official branch locator.
  2. Select the exact branch, including a branch inside another store.
  3. Check the holiday notice and call before a time-sensitive trip. For transfers, check the payment service’s cutoff separately.
