Veterans Day honors current and former members of the armed forces and the sacrifices they’ve made for our country. This year, it falls on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. Since Veterans Day is a federal holiday, many businesses and banks close to observe it. If you have errands to run this week, you may be wondering: Are banks closed on Veterans Day? Here’s everything you need to know.
Are Banks Closed on Veterans Day?
Yes, most banks will be closed on Veterans Day 2025, including Bank of America, Capital One, Chase Bank, and Wells Fargo. However, some financial institutions may still operate select branches.
In previous years, HSBC, Citizens Bank, and Truist (formerly SunTrust) have remained open on Veterans Day. TD Bank, known for staying open on many federal holidays, will close for Veterans Day in 2025. To avoid surprises, it’s best to call ahead and confirm your local branch’s hours—even if they’ve been open on holidays in the past.
Are Credit Unions Closed on Veterans Day?
