Planning your banking needs on Columbus Day? It's a tricky situation, but we've got you covered!
Columbus Day, a federal holiday, is approaching, and while it's a day to celebrate, it also means potential disruptions to your banking routine. But here's where it gets controversial: not all banks follow the same path on this day.
Most banks, as is customary for federal holidays, will be closed on October 13th, 2025. However, there's a twist! Two major banking giants, TD Bank and Chase, have decided to keep their doors open.
But wait, there's more! While Chase will be open for in-person banking, certain services might be delayed until the next business day. So, if you're planning a transaction on Columbus Day, be aware that it might not reflect on your account until October 14th.
And this is the part most people miss: recurring transactions will post the business day before Columbus Day. So, if you have any regular payments scheduled, they might go through earlier than expected.
So, if you're in need of banking services on Columbus Day, TD Bank and Chase are your go-to options. Just remember to plan ahead and be mindful of potential delays.
Stay informed, and happy banking!
