Are Banks Closed on Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day in 2025?
Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples' Day, is just around the corner, which has many wondering if banks are open on Monday, October 13.
Are banks closed on Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples' Day, in 2025? That's a question plenty of folks are asking just ahead of the holiday that marks the voyage and landing of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus in the Americas. The answer is yes, banks are closed on Monday, October 13.
Indigenous Peoples' Day, meanwhile, has been celebrated since the 1990s in tandem with Columbus Day. It acknowledges Native American cultures and people who inhabited the Americas prior to European exploration.
Many folks will choose to spend the long holiday weekend with family and friends, though others might prefer to take a few minutes to prepare for Medicare open enrollment, which starts October 15 and goes through December 7. Those enrolling will want to brush up on their Medicare basics ahead of time to make sure they're prepared.
