Exceptions & Need-to-Knows
State Holidays: In some states (e.g., Texas, California, Delaware, Florida, and others), the “Day After Thanksgiving” is considered a state holiday. While national banks usually stay open, some smaller local banks or credit unions in these states might close.
Branches Inside Stores: If your bank branch is located inside a grocery store or supermarket (e.g., Walmart, Kroger), it generally follows the store’s holiday hours, which may differ from standalone branches.
The Stock Market: The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are OPEN but will close early at 1:00 PM ET.
