Are Banks Open on Memorial Day 2019?
See the banks that will be closed for Memorial Day 2019.Memorial Day, which is observed on the last Monday in May each year, is celebrated to honor and remember those brave Americans who lost their lives during their service in the military. In 2019, Memorial Day falls on May 27 — which allows many people to have a three-day weekend to help kick off the unofficial start of summer.
Memorial Day also holds the distinction of being a federal holiday, meaning certain offices, such as the post office and the Social Security Administration, will be closed on that day, so you should plan accordingly. Banks are also generally closed on Memorial Day. In the larger financial world, the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and the Federal Reserve System will also be closed on Memorial Day.
