Most banks are closed on June 19 if it falls on a weekend, and closed nationwide if it's a federal holiday

June 19 is Juneteenth, a federal holiday. When Juneteenth falls on a weekday, most banks observe it as a holiday and close their branches for the day. If June 19 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, branches are already closed on weekends, so the holiday observance doesn't change your access that day.

The year matters. In 2024, June 19 is a Wednesday and a federal holiday, so most major banks will be closed. In 2025, June 19 is a Thursday and also a federal holiday. Check your specific year to know whether the date is a weekday or weekend.

Even when branches are closed, you can still use ATMs, mobile banking apps, and online banking to move money or check balances. Wire transfers and bill payments submitted online typically process the next business day.

Key Takeaways

  • Juneteenth (June 19) is a federal holiday, and most banks close their branches on federal holidays regardless of the day of the week.
  • ATMs, mobile apps, and online banking work on bank holidays, so you can withdraw cash and transfer money without visiting a branch.
  • Transactions submitted online during a holiday usually process on the next business day, not when ready.
  • Some credit unions and smaller regional banks may have different holiday schedules, so contact your bank directly if you're unsure.

Which banks close on Juneteenth

All major national banks close on Juneteenth: Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank, US Bank, PNC, Capital One, and TD Bank all treat it as a federal holiday. Regional banks and credit unions typically do the same, though a few smaller institutions may stay open.

If you use a smaller or local bank, call ahead or check their website to confirm their holiday schedule. Some credit unions publish their holiday calendar online, and a quick phone call to the branch takes less than a minute.

What you can still do when branches are closed

ATMs work on holidays. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks (if your ATM has mobile deposit or a check slot), and check your balance at any time. ATM transactions process when ready or within one business day depending on the type of transaction.

Mobile banking apps and online banking portals are open 24/7, including holidays. You can transfer money between your own accounts, pay bills, send money to other people, and review your transaction history. Transfers between accounts at the same bank usually show up within hours.

Wire transfers and payments to other banks submitted online during a holiday will process on the next business day. If you need money to move urgently and the bank is closed, use your ATM or mobile app to transfer between your own accounts instead.

When to expect processing if you submit transactions on June 19

Transactions submitted through ATMs or mobile apps on a bank holiday typically process the same day or by the next business day, depending on the type. Transfers between accounts at the same bank are usually fastest.

Payments to other banks, bill payments, and wire transfers submitted on a holiday will not process until the next business day. If June 19 is a Wednesday, the next business day is Thursday. If June 19 is a Friday, the next business day is Monday.

Check deposits made through mobile deposit on a holiday usually post by the next business day, though some banks take longer. The funds may be available for withdrawal before they fully clear, depending on your bank's policy.

Planning ahead if you need banking services on June 19

If you know you'll need cash or need to move money on June 19, withdraw cash from an ATM the day before or use your mobile app to transfer money between your own accounts. Both options work around the clock.

If you need to deposit a check, use mobile deposit through your bank's app if available. This works on holidays and usually posts by the next business day. If your bank doesn't offer mobile deposit, deposit the check at an ATM with a check slot, or wait until the next business day to visit a branch.

If you need to pay a bill or send money to someone else, submit the payment through your bank's online portal or mobile app. Payments submitted on a holiday will process the next business day, so plan accordingly if the payment has a important date.
