There are a few banks that closed.

The FED didn’t close which created this weird deal where some banks followed their schedule

it just feels like an odd way to honor their sacrifice, by taking off work the day before the day we observe their sacrifice.


are you also one of those people that gets pissed at people for celebrating and having a good time on memorial day?

I work in the private sector and surprisingly have today off. Nice to have the house with no kids if you catch my drift.

I counter that in order to be a teacher these days it’s required for one to be off, way off.

Saturday, typically banks and government doesn't get the friday off. If it falls on Sunday they will get Monday off. Not sure why.


Federal laws resulting from the bank runs 100 years ago requiring that Federal Reserve Banks close no longer than 72 consecutive hours. A lot of states followed suit and made it apply to State Banks too.

There is a lot of grey understanding of OCC’s rules there. The rule isn’t great and dates back to Depression ERA. But the 3-day/72 hour rule really doesn’t explicitly exist and was written more for uncontrollable events than holidays. The OCC has been asked many times to be more definitive but they’re the gov’t and do whatever they want.

From a Bankers Online FAQ:

quote:

...there are no federal or state statutes that require a bank to remain open on specific days nor have a maximum number of days that a bank can remain closed. They operate like any other private business.
