Closed
No — banks are closed on Veterans Day.
Veterans Day (November 11) is a Federal Reserve holiday, and most banks close — even though it lands mid-week most years and the stock market trades right through it. The bond market closes with the banks.
Like Columbus Day, a few banks choose to stay open, but closure is the strong norm. Deposits made on the holiday post the next business day.
