Federal and bank holidays are days when government offices and most banks close, which affects when you can do banking tasks and when you'll receive money transfers. Understanding which days these are matters because a deposit you make on a holiday won't process until the next business day, and paychecks or bill payments may arrive later than usual around these dates.

The articles here explain which holidays affect banking, how they change when your transactions go through, and what to plan for if you need to handle money matters around these days. You'll learn the difference between federal holidays and bank-specific closures, and how to time deposits and payments so they land when you expect them to.
