Banks in the U.S. will generally be closed on Saturday, July 4, 2026 , for Independence Day. Because July 4 falls on a Saturday this year, many banks will also observe the holiday on Friday, July 3 as the day off for branch operations.

What that means

  • Saturday, July 4: federal bank holiday, so branches are closed.
  • Friday, July 3: many banks observe the holiday then because July 4 lands on a Saturday.
  • ATMs and online banking usually still work even when branches are closed.

Simple planning note

If you need an in-person transaction, the safest move is to handle it before Friday, July 3 or wait until the next business day after the holiday weekend.
