Nossa Senhora da Conceição Holiday Shuts Banks in 13 Brazilian Capitals Today

Overview

• Physical bank branches are closed in municipalities observing the holiday under Febraban guidance, and in-person services resume on the next business day.
• Thirteen capitals observe the holiday today: Aracaju, Belém, Belo Horizonte, Boa Vista, Cuiabá, João Pessoa, Macapá, Maceió, Manaus, Recife, Salvador, São Luís and Teresina.
• Most banking needs can be handled via apps, internet banking and ATMs, which remain available even as branches stay closed.
• Workers in affected cities generally have the day off, with exceptions for essential services or operations authorized by collective agreements that require double pay or compensatory time.
• For municipal holidays, entitlement follows the employer’s location rather than the worker’s residence, and TED/DOC clearing does not run, while Pix, boletos and cards can be initiated digitally with settlement subject to calendar rules.
