This week we celebrate Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday sale day, so it is normal that you wonder if bank branches will be open during these days. Next, we solve this question for you.
Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving, which falls on Thursday, November 25 this year, is a federal bank holiday. That means Chase Bank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo will be closed on Thanksgiving.
You will still be able to use the ATM, and depending on the type of ATM your bank branch has, that may mean you could still make cash deposits.
Please note that financial transactions you make with your online banking app may take an additional day to process.
Black Friday
