Bank operating hours on December 31 and January 1

By law, only government agencies are required to close on federal holidays. However, most banks align their schedules with the Federal Reserve’s holiday calendar and choose to close as well. This means that all major banking institutions—including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, and others—will be closed on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

On New Year’s Eve, Tuesday, December 31, banks will operate during regular hours but are expected to close early. According to financial services provider PNC, most branches will shut their doors by 4:00 p.m. local time.

Fortunately, ATMs and mobile banking services will remain fully operational throughout both days. Customers can still handle essential transactions, such as money transfers and bill payments, conveniently through their mobile devices.

Normal banking hours will resume on Thursday, January 2, 2025.
