American Express® is best known for its credit cards, but it also operates American Express National Bank, Member FDIC, offering high-yield savings accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs).

Since it’s an entirely online bank, you might wonder whether it closes for federal holidays or operates on a standard schedule.

Here’s everything you need to know about American Express hours, customer access and holiday operations in 2025.

Is American Express Open on Holidays?

Yes. American Express National Bank is open every day of the year, including federal holidays. Because it’s a fully online bank, you can manage your account 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the website or mobile app.

Day Access
Federal Holidays 24/7 online access
Customer Support Available by phone and chat
Account Services Available through web and app

Example: Even when traditional banks close for holidays, you can still log in to American Express Online Banking to check your balance, transfer funds or open a new CD.

American Express 2025 Holiday Schedule

Although American Express remains operational year-round, you may experience minor delays when transferring funds to or from other financial institutions that observe bank holidays.

Here’s the full 2025 federal holiday schedule:

Holiday Date Availability
New Year’s Day Wednesday, Jan. 1 Open (transfers may delay)
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday, Jan. 20 Open
Presidents Day Monday, Feb. 17 Open

Independence Day Friday, July 4 Open
Labor Day Monday, Sept. 1 Open
Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day Monday, Oct. 13 Open
Veterans Day Tuesday, Nov. 11 Open

Christmas Day Thursday, Dec. 25 Open

According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, there are 11 federal holidays in 2025, but online-only institutions like American Express typically remain accessible through every one of them.

What If You Need To Bank While Traditional Banks Are Closed?

Even if other banks close for holidays, you can always:

  • Access your account at americanexpress.com
  • Use the American Express app to transfer funds or check interest earnings
  • Schedule future transfers and automatic deposits
  • Contact customer service for assistance anytime

Example: If you initiate a transfer on a federal holiday, it will process through American Express immediately, though settlement with another bank may occur the next business day.

Local Branch Hours May Vary

American Express National Bank has no physical branch locations, which means your banking is never limited by branch hours. All services are handled online, through the mobile app or by phone.

American Express Regular Business Hours

Because American Express is fully digital, it doesn’t maintain traditional business hours. You can bank anytime, from anywhere.

Day Hours
Monday through Sunday 24/7 online access

According to FDIC data, more than 80% of U.S. consumers use digital banking, and online banks like Amex have made around-the-clock access the new normal for personal savings.
