Charles Schwab® is one of the largest brokerage and banking firms in the U.S., offering investment, retirement and banking products through Charles Schwab Bank®, Member FDIC.

Whether you’re trading stocks, transferring funds or visiting a branch, here’s everything you need to know about Charles Schwab’s hours and 2025 holiday schedule.

Is Charles Schwab Open on Thanksgiving?

Charles Schwab branches are closed on Thanksgiving, so you won’t be able to stop in for in-person help that day.

The good news is you can still take care of pretty much everything you need online. Schwab’s website, mobile app, and ATMs remain available, whether you’re checking balances, moving money, or placing a trade.

If you do need to visit a branch, plan for the day before or the day after the holiday. Branch hours can vary, so it’s always worth double-checking your local location’s schedule.

Is Charles Schwab Open on Holidays?

No. Charles Schwab closes for all federal market holidays, but you can still access your accounts online or through the Schwab Mobile App 24/7.

Trading and branch operations pause when the NYSE and NASDAQ close for national holidays, though customer accounts and digital tools remain fully available.

Day	Access
Federal Holidays	Branches and markets closed; 24/7 online access
Weekdays	Normal market trading hours
Weekends	No trading; account access available anytime

Example: If you place a trade on a federal holiday, it will queue automatically and execute when markets reopen.

What If You Need To Bank or Trade While Schwab Is Closed?

Even when branches and trading desks are closed for holidays, you can still:

Log in to schwab.com or the Schwab app
Deposit checks through mobile deposit
Review portfolios and account balances
Schedule trades for when markets reopen

Example: If you’re rebalancing your investments, you can update your trade instructions anytime, and Schwab will process them once trading resumes.

Local Branch Hours May Vary

Charles Schwab has more than 400 branch offices across the U.S., and hours may differ slightly by location. Some in-store or partner branches may close earlier than typical hours during holiday weeks.

Before visiting, use the branch locator tool on Schwab’s website or app to confirm your local branch schedule.

Charles Schwab Regular Business Hours

While branch hours vary slightly by city, most follow this standard schedule:

Day	Hours (Local Time)
Monday through Friday	8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday	Closed
Sunday	Closed

Schwab also offers extended-hours trading from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET on market days, giving investors flexibility to manage trades outside standard sessions.

Final Tips for Banking and Trading With Schwab

Plan trades early: Place orders before markets close for holidays.
Use automation: Schedule transfers or recurring contributions in advance.

Expect brief processing delays: Transactions involving other banks may settle the next business day after a holiday.
