Barclays is a global financial services company with a strong U.S. presence through Barclays Bank Delaware, its FDIC-insured online bank. If you’re a customer, it’s important to know when you can access services. Read on to learn Barclays’ regular hours and holiday schedule so you can plan your banking with ease.
Is Barclays Open on Columbus Day?
Barclays in the U.S. observes federal holidays like Columbus Day, which is on Monday, Oct. 13 this year. You’ll still be able to handle most of your day-to-day transactions through online bank or via the mobile app, since there are no branches.
Barclays Hours for Holidays
U.S. customers who use Barclays’ online banking tool can access their accounts at any time — including during federal holidays.
For UK customers, branches will be closed on UK bank holidays, including Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Keep in mind that UK holiday schedules don’t align with U.S. federal holidays, such as Thanksgiving. Even when branches are closed, online and ATM access remains available, with transactions posting once banks reopen.
Barclays Hours for Normal Days
Barclays US operates strictly as an online bank, so there are no branches or set business hours. Customers can access accounts 24/7 through online banking.
The table below provides information on hours at most UK branches:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday – Friday | 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. |
| Saturday | 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. |
| Sunday | Varies by branch |
Is Barclays Open on Weekends?
U.S. customers don’t have to worry about Barclays hours and branches being open or closed because there are none. However, the Barclays UK division notes that some branches are open on Saturdays and Sundays.
You can use Barclays’ branch finder to find and contact specific branches about their hours. The Barclays website also lists individual hours for each branch.
