Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings, holiday meals, and the start of the shopping season. But if you need to access your bank account during the holiday, you may be wondering whether banks and credit unions are open. Here’s the latest for Thanksgiving 2025.
Are Banks Open on Thanksgiving?
No. Banks will be closed on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in observance of the federal holiday.
Unlike some other federal holidays, where limited branches may remain open, no banks operate on Thanksgiving. Transactions requiring in-person assistance will need to wait until Friday, November 28, 2025, when banks reopen.
