Most U.S. Bank Branches to Close on MLK Day, Jan. 19

Closures reflect alignment with the Federal Reserve holiday schedule that pauses some payment clearing.

Overview

  • Monday, Jan. 19, 2026 is a federal holiday and most banks will not offer in-person service.
  • Major institutions including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, U.S. Bank, Morgan Stanley, Truist, PNC, Capital One, Citizens, Santander and Compass plan to close.
  • The holiday shutdown extends beyond branches to include administrative offices.
  • Digital channels and external ATMs will operate, though transfers, deposits and bill payments may not post until the next business day.
  • Closures are customary rather than legally mandated, so customers should confirm local hours and complete time-sensitive transactions before the holiday.
