Are Banks Open on Veterans Day?
Most banks, USPS and federal offices will close, while stock markets stay open and many stores keep regular hours, officials said.
On Wednesday, Nov. 11, the United States observes Veterans Day, closing federal offices, the Postal Service, and major Bank branches nationwide as one of 11 federal holidays.
First observed as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919, marking the end of World War, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 when Congress changed its name to honor America's veterans.
While the Postal Service and major Banks including Bank of America and Chase Bank remain closed, most grocery stores like Walmart and Costco stay open for regular business.
The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq remain open on Wednesday, though the Postal Service will resume regular operations Thursday, Nov. 12, while Trash pickup may be delayed by one day.
After Veterans Day, only two federal holidays remain in 2026: Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, Nov. 26, and Christmas Day on Friday, Dec. 25.
