Overview

  • The Federação Brasileira de Bancos said bank branches will not offer in-person service on Monday, Sept. 7, so customers must use PIX, internet banking, mobile apps or ATMs for transfers and payments.
  • INSS agencies and human support by phone will be closed on the holiday while the Meu INSS online service and automated channels remain available 24 hours for benefit requests and information.
  • Correios will suspend in-person service and many deliveries on Sept. 7 in multiple cities and will resume normal operations on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
  • Essential services such as emergency health care, public safety, sanitation and some transit operations will run normally, but cities have published altered bus schedules, street closures and parade routes that can affect travel times.
  • Shopping centers and markets set varied special hours for the holiday and workers scheduled to work may receive specific compensation under local agreements; because financial clearing does not occur on holidays, taxpayers with bills or tax deadlines should plan payments ahead to avoid fines.
