Are Banks Open or Closed on Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day? (2023)

With Columbus Day quickly approaching, you may be wondering if your bank is open or closed. Columbus Day, which honors Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, is a holiday recognized by the U.S. Federal Reserve System, so all banks in America are closed. The one exception to this rule is TD Bank, which has branches open on three federal holidays: Columbus Day, Presidents Day, and Veterans Day. Every other major financial brand will be closed, including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, and Huntington Bank.

In many states and cities across America, the holiday’s name has been changed to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This was done to celebrate the culture and history of Native Americans instead of only a single, controversial person. In a few areas, it is called Native American Day or Discoverers Day.

Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples’ Day is always the second Monday in October. If you have banking tasks which require a bank teller on that Monday, it is a good idea to call ahead to check with your local branch, which will likely be closed. A better option is to check the smaller branches located within some grocery stores or large supermarkets. These branches are often open for half-days when main standalone branches are closed. Again, call ahead so you do not waste a trip.

Alternatively, you can try to take care of your banking needs on Columbus Day through your bank’s website, mobile app, or at an ATM. Otherwise, you will have to wait until Tuesday.
