The official holiday calendar in the United States includes a total of 11 holiday dates dedicated to commemorating various observances of national and international significance.
On these days, customers of financial institutions such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo should keep in mind that the different branches across the country will lower their shutters and remain closed, so all in-person transactions will be suspended.
In that context, next Friday, June 19 Juneteenth will be observed nationwide, a day on which only ATM transactions or online transactions will be possible.
