Presidents' Day 2018: Are Banks Open Today?

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.
