Although physical bank branches will be closed, customers can still manage their accounts online. Many banks will offer the following services:

Historical Significance of Veterans Day
The tradition of Veterans Day dates back to 1919, initially known as Armistice Day. This observance commemorated the end of World War I, honoring those who served in the conflict. In 1954, Congress officially renamed the day to Veterans Day, expanding its significance to honor all U.S. military veterans.
It’s important to note the distinction between Veterans Day and Memorial Day. While Veterans Day honors living veterans, Memorial Day is dedicated to those who lost their lives in military service.
