Argentina’s Banks Close Nationwide Thursday for Día del Bancario

Only electronic channels remain available during the union holiday.

Overview

  • All branches are shut on November 6 under the sectoral holiday set in the banking collective agreement (Article 50).
  • Official FX trading and interbank clearing pause, so cheque accreditation, fund settlements and some transfers post on the next business day.
  • ANSES scheduled no payments for November 6, and the official dollar will not quote until Friday.
  • Because the date is the fourth business day, employers can meet payrolls via electronic transfers, while in-branch cash procedures must be advanced or done Friday.
  • Bank employees receive a ARS 1,708,032.46 bonus and a recent 2.1% wage update, and the Central Bank also confirmed a four‑day in‑person closure from November 21–24.
