Will Banks Be Open on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day?
Most banks, USPS, UPS, and FedEx operate on Dec. 31 with normal or adjusted hours; some services require prearrangement, while Jan. 1 is widely closed for the holiday.
- On Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025, banks, U.S. Postal Service post offices and major carriers will largely operate before closing on Jan. 1, 2026, while the U.S. stock market stays open on New Year's Eve.
- Because Jan. 1, 2026 is a federal holiday, many businesses will close, with U.S. Postal Service post offices and banks generally shutting on New Year's Day.
- Carrier websites note exceptions for ground, freight and critical services on Dec. 31: UPS Air and International Air pickups require prearrangement by Dec. 26, UPS Ground is unavailable, and FedEx Freight and Office run modified schedules.
- Plan ahead, because Dec. 31 is the last day this year to mail packages, and customers should confirm local hours for bank branches and retail shipping stores like UPS Store and FedEx Office.
- Even with many services operating on Dec. 31, timing guarantees loosen as Priority Mail Express is not assured and blue collection boxes won’t be emptied on Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026.
