New Year’s Holiday Bank Hours
As a federal holiday, all of the largest banks in the U.S. will be closed on. This includes the in-store and supermarket branches of PNC and SunTrust Bank.
All banks will remain open on New Year’s Eve, with half — including Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, U.S. Bank, BB&T and SunTrust Bank — resuming their regular schedule.
The other half of the banks — including Wells Fargo, PNC Bank, Capital One and TD Bank — will close earlier, between 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is important to remember that the holiday bank schedule may or may not affect the in-store and supermarket locations.
In the case of PNC Bank, some of their supermarket locations will resume their normal hours, despite the fact that their bank branches are expected to close by 4 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.

What Does it Mean When Your Bank is Closed?
Regardless of whether or not your bank is open, banking transactions will not be processed on federal holidays (like New Year’s Day).
New Year’s Eve is not a federal holiday, which means all the checks that are deposited on this day before the cut-off time will be processed as usual.
Generally, checks take one business day to be processed but since the next day is New Year’s Day, the deposits will not be processed. This means it will not be processed until at least Monday.
Therefore, it will take 3-4 days (including the holiday and the weekend) for your deposit to clear.
How to Access Your Money if Your Bank is Closed
Modern marvels such as online bankig and ATM deposits allow you to access your funds even if your bank is closed. Besides being open late — or 24/7 in some cases — many ATMs now have the capacity to deposit your checks.
This thereby providing you funds that you can then withdraw. Many bank branches even include drive-thru ATMs that are open even when the bank itself is closed.
Using a money order can also be an option for accessing your own funds on the days that your bank is closed. You can also write, endorse and cash in a money order to yourself.
The trick is finding a check-cashing place that stays open long enough for you to complete the transaction. Moneytree, a check cashing service, has select branches open on the holidays.
