Massive bank closures in the United States this week: Full list of banks closing on November 27
Several major banks will shut all their branches across the United States on Thursday, November 27, including Bank of America, Chase, Citibank and Wells Fargo. They will remain closed all day as they observe the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
Financial institutions typically follow the Federal Reserve’s holiday calendar, which covers the 11 official federal holidays, from New Year’s Day – the first of the year – through Christmas Day, the final one. On these dates, banks close and give employees the day off.

Although most banks will close for Thanksgiving, online banking services and ATMs will remain available throughout the holiday. Branches will resume in-person service on Friday, November 28, which coincides with the start of Black Friday.

Because Thanksgiving is one of the 11 official federal holidays, all federal government offices must shut down. Along with banks, schools, post offices, public libraries and the stock market also close.
On Thanksgiving, many major supermarkets and retailers operate on reduced hours or shut their doors altogether. This year, Walmart, Costco and Target have all confirmed they will close.
