Are Banks Open on Veterans Day in 2024?
Veterans Day is just around the corner, which has folks many wondering if banks are open on Monday, November 11.

Are banks open on Veterans Day in 2024? That's a question plenty of folks are wondering just ahead of the holiday that honors those who have served in the military. The answer is no, banks are not open on Monday, November 11.
Veterans Day, which is known as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other countries, is a federal holiday that occurs each year on November 11. It marks the day in 1918 an agreement was signed between Germany and the Allied nations to end World War I. It is one of 11 bank holidays this year.
Many folks will choose to spend the holiday with family and friends, attending a local parade or supporting a veteran-owned business. Others might want to take a few minutes talking with a vet they know closely about their financial health. For instance, Kiplinger editors uncovered these major financial benefits provided to veterans and their families by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including home loans.
