What happened
On October 12, 2026, banks and the bond market were closed in observance of Columbus Day, a federal holiday. However, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq continued regular trading sessions. Most national banks, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank, closed their physical branches, though online and ATM services remained available. The US Postal Service also confirmed that all post offices would be closed.

Why it matters
The holiday closure impacts the processing of financial transactions and supply chain logistics. While stock exchanges operate normally, the closure of banks and the Federal Reserve means some payments and transfers may not be processed until the following business day. Customers relying on delivery services must check specific company notices regarding holiday arrangements.
