Labor Day is a federal holiday, which means there’s no mail and certain finances are put on hold as well. Most banks are closed, though a few local branches may choose to stay open with holiday hours, so it may be best to check with your local banks. Online banking and ATMs will of course remain open, though transactions such as transfers may not show up until the next day. Bank of America, BBVA Compass Bank, BMO Harris Bank, Capital One, Chase Bank, Citizens Bank, TD Bank, People’s United Bank, PNC Bank, Santander Bank, Union Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank will all be closed.
Credit unions, post offices, libraries and state liquor stores should be closed as well. Any city, county, federal and state offices are closed, which means the DMV and court proceedings. Schools are also closed. Other federal holidays for 2015 include:
New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Presidents’ Day
Independence Day
Columbus Day
Veterans Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
Memorial Day
As far as transportation goes, check your local schedules for trains and buses’ holiday schedules.
