Ah, the age-old question: "Are banks open today?" But here's a better question: Why are you still asking this in 2025? While traditional banks are busy hanging "Sorry, we're closed" signs, neobanks are working 24/7, 365 days a year. No holidays, no closing times, just constant access to your money. Check out our comprehensive directory of 400+ neobanks to find one that never makes you wonder about opening hours.
But since you're here, let's help you navigate the traditional banking calendar. (Or you could just switch to a neobank and skip this part entirely - just saying! 😉)
