US Bank is closed on Good Friday
US Bank observes Good Friday as a federal holiday and closes all branches nationwide on that day. You will not be able to visit a branch, use the drive-through, or speak to a representative in person. The exact date changes each year because Good Friday falls on the Friday before Easter Sunday, which moves annually.
If you need to handle banking on Good Friday, you have options that do not require a branch. US Bank's online banking platform and mobile app remain available 24/7, so you can transfer money, pay bills, check balances, and deposit checks remotely. ATMs also stay operational, so you can withdraw cash or deposit checks at any US Bank ATM.
The day after Good Friday — Saturday — most US Bank branches are either closed or operate on limited weekend hours. Check your specific branch's schedule before planning a visit, because hours vary by location.
Key Takeaways
- US Bank branches close entirely on Good Friday, which falls on a different date each year depending on when Easter occurs.
- Online banking, the mobile app, and ATMs work normally on Good Friday, so you can handle most transactions without visiting a branch.
- If you need to speak to someone by phone, customer service lines may have reduced staffing or different hours on Good Friday.
- Saturday hours vary by branch location, so confirm your branch's weekend schedule before you plan to visit.
What you can and cannot do on Good Friday
Online and mobile banking work the same way on Good Friday as any other day. You can log in, transfer funds between your own accounts, send money to other people, pay bills, deposit checks using mobile check deposit, and review your transaction history. These services do not depend on branch staff.
ATM transactions also process normally. You can withdraw cash, deposit cash or checks, transfer money, and check your balance at any US Bank ATM. The transaction may take slightly longer to post to your account if you deposit after business hours, but the ATM itself will accept your deposit.
What you cannot do is visit a branch in person, speak to a teller, or access services that require a staff member. This includes opening a new account, explore for a loan, ordering a cashier's check, or resolving disputes that need human review. If you need one of these services, plan to visit on Thursday or wait until Monday.
Good Friday dates for the next several years
Good Friday is always the Friday before Easter Sunday. Easter's date shifts each year because it is calculated based on the lunar calendar, so Good Friday can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25.

| 2025 | April 18 |
| 2026 | April 10 |

If you are unsure whether a specific date is a US Bank holiday, check the holiday calendar on the US Bank website or call your branch directly the day before.
Other federal holidays when US Bank closes
US Bank observes all federal holidays, which means branches close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some branches may also close on the day after Thanksgiving.
The bank's customer service phone lines may have reduced hours or be closed entirely on these days. Online banking and ATMs remain available. If you are unsure whether a specific holiday affects your branch, call ahead or check the US Bank website.
How to plan around Good Friday closures
If you know you will need in-person banking services around Good Friday, visit your branch on Thursday instead. This gives you time to handle account changes, loan applications, or other services that require staff before the holiday.
For deposits and withdrawals, use an ATM on Good Friday itself. Mobile check deposit through the app also works, though the check may not post to your account until the following business day depending on when you deposit it.
If you are waiting for a wire transfer or ACH payment to arrive, remember that these transactions do not process on federal holidays. A payment scheduled to arrive on Good Friday will typically arrive on Monday instead, so plan accordingly if you need the money by a specific date.
Contacting US Bank on Good Friday
US Bank's main customer service phone line may have limited availability on Good Friday. Some automated services may still work, but wait times for a live representative are likely to be longer than usual, or you may not reach anyone at all.
If you have an urgent issue on Good Friday, try the mobile app or online banking first. Many problems — frozen accounts, lost cards, suspicious transactions — can be reported through these channels, and US Bank will investigate when staff returns on Monday.
For true emergencies, US Bank maintains a 24/7 fraud line for reporting stolen cards or unauthorized transactions. This line operates on holidays because fraud does not wait for business hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my paycheck deposit on Good Friday if my employer pays on that day?
No. Direct deposits scheduled for Good Friday will not post until Monday because the banking system does not process ACH transfers on federal holidays. If your payday falls on Good Friday, your deposit will arrive the following Monday. Check with your employer if you need the money by a specific date.
Can I use my debit card to buy things on Good Friday?
Yes. Your debit card works at stores and online on Good Friday. The branch being closed does not affect card transactions. If you lose your card or need to report fraud, you can still call the 24/7 fraud line.
What if I need cash on Good Friday and there is no ATM nearby?
Use an ATM at another bank if necessary. Most banks allow you to withdraw from their ATMs using your US Bank debit card, though you may be charged a fee. Plan ahead and withdraw cash on Thursday if you know you will need it.
Do US Bank's online bill pay and transfers process on Good Friday?
Transfers between your own US Bank accounts process when ready. Payments to other banks or bill payments may take one to three business days depending on the type, and the clock does not start until Monday because Good Friday is not a business day.
Is US Bank customer service available by phone on Good Friday?
Customer service lines may have reduced hours or be closed entirely on Good Friday. The 24/7 fraud line remains open. For non-urgent questions, use online banking or call back on Monday when full staffing resumes.
