There can be certain bank-related tasks you may have to get done before Christmas but it’s almost Christmas Eve here. You are wise if you are checking the status of the banks on holidays beforehand to save time.

Are Banks Open on Christmas Eve 2022?
Yes. Banks will remain open during regular hours on Christmas Eve which is falling on Saturday, December 24, 2022. If you have an important visit planned for your local bank branch, make sure you complete it before the celebrations officially begin.
Banks don’t close on Christmas Eve usually. However, some branches might observe reduced working hours to allow their staff get sufficient time for the biggest festival of the year. Make sure you make a call to the branch first to confirm the closing hours.
Banks Will Stay Closed on Christmas Day 2022
Obviously, banks will stay closed on Christmas Day. December 25th is the official federal holiday every year and banks observe a day off. All the branches across the nation remain closed while only online banking services and ATMs remain active.
However, this year, Christmas is on Sunday and the banks have got another reason to stay closed allowing more time for the celebrations.
Banks Will Also Stay Closed on December 26, 2022
Since Christmas is on Sunday this year, banks across the United States and other regions will also observe a holiday on December 26, 2022, which is also called Boxing Day. So, if you missed visiting the bank branch on Christmas Eve, you can’t go until Tuesday.
However, TD Bank is a notable exception as it will remain open on December 26th during normal hours. You can also reassure with your local bank branch by making a call to know if they are open on the day after Christmas.
