President's Day is here, and if you're looking to find out if banks are open or closed, look no further.

Most banks will be closed on Presidents' Day. According to banks.org, Presidents' Day is one of ten holidays that the Federal Reserve observes each year. Many banks and credit unions follow the Federal Reserve bank by shutting down as well.


National and regional banks will be closed today, including all major financial service corporations and investment banks and lenders, like Capital One, PNC, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, CitiBank, Chase, and Barclays, reports banks.org. According to USA Today, TD Bank will be open on Presidents' Day.

Even though a teller will likely not be available at your local bank, you should still have access to ATMs. You also have the ability to deposit checks through mobile apps. Bills paid today will likely not be effective. Transactions will be posted, instead, on Tuesday, February 20th.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.
