Overview
- The Banco Central confirmed banks will suspend in‑person service from Friday 6 November through Tuesday 10 November, combining the Día del Trabajador Bancario, the weekend and papal-visit holidays.
- Territorial holidays tied to the pope’s itinerary mean Tuesday 10 November is a holiday in CABA and Córdoba and Wednesday 11 November is a holiday in Buenos Aires province, so some branches may stay closed locally after the nationwide reopening.
- Customers can use ATMs, home banking, cards and digital wallets during the branch closure but any transactions that require teller processing or branch intervention will be delayed until the next business day.
- Households, businesses and public agencies should move urgent branch-dependent tasks ahead of the closure and verify local branch notices because payrolls and ANSES payments may follow adjusted schedules tied to bank availability.
- Banks will also be closed on Monday 23 November for the moved Day of National Sovereignty, creating a separate long weekend that adds a second disruption to in-person banking in November.
