Overview
- Physical branches are closed on Thursday, November 6, with no over-the-counter transactions or in-person procedures.
- ATMs, home banking, and mobile apps function normally for transfers, payments, and balance queries.
- Higher demand could drain ATM cash faster than usual, so customers may need to seek alternative machines or plan withdrawals.
- Tasks requiring staff—such as large cash deposits, account or card management at counters, and loan or mortgage signings—must be deferred to the next business day.
- The holiday traces to early labor organizing, including a 1919 strike, and later gains like a dedicated pension fund, earlier retirement conditions, and shorter workdays.
