Here's Your Guide to Bank Hours for Christmas and New Year (2023 Edition)

(SPOT.ph) The holidays are coming up, which means banks will be taking breaks, too. Don’t wait until the last minute to get those banking needs in check.

Expect most banks to be closed on holidays. December 25 (Monday) and December 30 (Saturday) are regular holidays, while December 26 (Tuesday) is a special non-working holiday. 

The bright side is that clients can still transact through the app or website, at least for most banks. Just take note of any reminders before financial transactions to save yourself the hassle in this limbo period.
