(SPOT.ph) The holidays are coming up, which means banks will be taking breaks, too. If you’re planning withdrawals, transfers, or last-minute errands before Christmas and New Year, it’s best to know which branches are open—and when to rely on apps instead.

Expect most banks to be closed on holidays. December 24 (Wednesday), December 26 (Friday), and December 31 (Wednesday) are special non-working holidays, while December 25 (Thursday) and December 30 (Tuesday) are regular holidays.

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.
