Sunday is traditionally a day when many businesses, including banks, are closed. However, this doesn’t mean you’re out of options. While most traditional banks keep their door shut, some branches remain open with limited hours. Read on to learn more.
Are Banks Open on Sunday?
Some banks do offer Sunday hours. These banks often have branches in retail stores and supermarkets like ShopRite and Ralphs. Walmart’s MoneyCenter is another good option if you need banking services on a Sunday.
Bank hours on Sunday vary by location but typically range from morning to noon, and closing hours range from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. To prevent a wasted trip, you should always call ahead to confirm.
Saturday Bank Hours
Although Sunday banking options are limited, many banks offer Saturday hours to accommodate customers.
If you’re banking on Saturday, you can expect the following:
- Most banks are open between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- Some larger branches or those in retail locations may remain open until 2 p.m. or later.
Alternative Banking Options
Even if your bank is closed on Sundays, you still have options for managing your finances. Many banks offer mobile apps that allow you to access your checking account, savings account and CD account anytime.
These apps enable you to transfer funds, pay bills and even deposit checks.
Additionally, ATMs are typically available 24/7 for cash withdrawals, balance inquiries and even some deposit functions.
When Banks Reopen After Sunday
If your bank is closed on Sundays, regular business hours typically resume on Monday morning.
- Most banks open between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
