Bank of America and Wells Fargo will close on October 13 for Columbus Day

Published by RawNews1st

Bank of America and Wells Fargo will close all 7,700 of its stores. Some other banks which will shut down their operations on October 13 include Capital One Bank, Citibank, PNC Bank and Santander Bank.

As two big US banks — Bank of America and Wells Fargo — will close for a full day in a few days, customers are advised to make plans in advance. These banks are among major financial organizations that will close on October 13 in honor of Columbus Day.

The second Monday in October is designated as Columbus Day, a federal holiday. It was established in 1968 to commemorate the day Christopher Columbus landed in the US.

In several states and cities, that date is also recognised as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

State and federal courts, libraries, public schools, post offices, and banks are just a few of the government services that will be shut down.

On October 13, federal employees will have a paid day off, and mail delivery will not take place.

Grocery and liquor establishments, for example, will remain open, but customers are advised to verify local business hours.

Banking clients can check their balances, make deposits, withdraw cash, and transfer payments at an ATM. Digital wallet cards are also accepted at Wells Fargo ATMs.

Customers must link their Wells Fargo Debit Card to a digital wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay in order to use it.

All Wells Fargo ATMs also accept contactless debit cards.
