Labor Day 2025 in the US: Are banks and post offices open? Holiday hours and schedule

This September 1 marks Labor Day in the United States, a holiday that honors the origins of the labor movement and the contributions of workers. It’s one of the most significant national holidays in the country.

Since its establishment in 1894, Labor Day has been recognized as one of eleven federal holidays in the U.S. This means that public sector institutions are required to close, while private sector businesses may choose whether or not to operate. As a result, many people are wondering whether banks and post offices will be open this Monday, September 1.

Will banks and the post office be open on Labor Day?

On September 1, all U.S. Postal Service offices will be closed, and mail pickup and delivery will be suspended. Similarly, banks will also be closed, as they follow the Federal Reserve’s holiday schedule.

While bank branches will not be open, ATMs and mobile banking services will remain available, allowing customers to carry out essential transactions throughout the day. Any services beyond what’s offered through online banking will resume when banks reopen on Tuesday, September 2.
