Most banks open at 9 a.m. and close between 4 and 6 p.m. on weekdays, with shorter Saturday hours and no Sunday service at most locations
Bank hours vary by branch, by bank, and by day of the week. A Chase branch in one city might open at 8 a.m. while another opens at 9 a.m. Some banks stay open until 5 p.m., others until 6 p.m. or later. Holiday schedules, staffing changes, and temporary closures also shift what you'll find when you arrive. The fastest way to know your specific branch's hours is to search the bank's website or call the branch directly rather than relying on a general schedule.
Since you arrived here looking for today's or tomorrow's hours, the most useful thing to do right now is to find your branch on your bank's website or Google Maps. Both will show you the exact hours for the next several days without guessing.

- The bank's official website or a direct phone call to your branch gives you the accurate hours for today and tomorrow.

- ATMs and mobile banking are available 24/7 at most banks, even when the physical branch is closed.
How to find your branch's hours right now
Go to your bank's website and use the branch locator tool. Enter your zip code or address, and the locator will show you nearby branches with their hours listed. Most banks display hours for today and the next several days. If the website doesn't show tomorrow's hours clearly, call the branch directly — the phone number is usually on the same locator page.
If you don't know which bank you use or can't find the locator, search "[Bank Name] hours near me" in Google Maps. Google pulls hours from the bank's official information and updates them regularly. Maps also shows you whether the branch is currently open or closed, though this can lag by a few minutes during the day. The phone number and address appear on the same result, so you can call if you need to confirm.
Typical weekday, Saturday, and Sunday schedules
Weekdays (Monday through Friday): Most branches open at 9 a.m., though some open at 8 a.m. or 8:30 a.m. Closing time is usually 4 p.m., 5 p.m., or 6 p.m. depending on the bank and location. Branches in busy downtown areas or shopping centers often stay open later than suburban branches.
Saturday: Many banks are open on Saturday, but hours are shorter — typically 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Some branches close on Saturday entirely, especially in smaller towns or less busy areas. If you're planning a Saturday visit, confirm your branch is open before you go.
Sunday: Most bank branches are closed on Sunday. A few banks in major cities or shopping centers may open for a few hours, but this is uncommon. If you need banking services on Sunday, use an ATM or mobile app instead.
What to do if your branch is closed
If you need to deposit a check or withdraw cash outside branch hours, use your bank's ATM. Most ATMs are available 24/7, and deposits made at an ATM before the bank's cutoff time (usually 9 p.m. or 10 p.m.) post the same business day. Withdrawals are instant.
For other transactions — opening an account, applying for a loan, disputing a charge — use your bank's mobile app or website if the task can be done online. Many banks now handle account changes, transfers, and customer service through their app. If you need to speak to someone, call the bank's customer service line, which is often available 24/7 even when branches are closed. The number is on the back of your debit card or on the bank's website.
Holiday closures and temporary changes
Banks close on federal holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some banks also close on Presidents' Day and Columbus Day. Check your bank's website for a full holiday schedule, as some banks observe additional holidays depending on the state.
Branches may also close temporarily due to weather, staffing shortages, or building maintenance. These closures are usually posted on the bank's website and on Google Maps, but not always immediately. If you're planning to visit a branch on an unusual day or during severe weather, call ahead to confirm it's open.
How bank hours differ by location and bank
Large national banks like Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have branches with fairly consistent hours across locations, but variation still exists. A Chase branch in a city center might open at 8 a.m. and close at 6 p.m., while a Chase in a suburb opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. The difference often comes down to foot traffic and local demand.
Credit unions and smaller regional banks often have different hours than national chains. Some credit unions close for lunch or have limited hours on certain days. If you use a credit union or smaller bank, checking the specific branch's hours is especially important because hours can vary significantly between branches of the same institution.
Using ATMs and mobile banking when branches are closed
ATMs let you withdraw cash, deposit checks, transfer money, and check your balance without visiting a branch. Most ATMs are available around the clock. Check deposits made before your bank's deposit cutoff time (usually between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.) post the same business day; deposits made after that cutoff post the next business day. The cutoff time varies by bank, so check your bank's website or call to find out yours.
Mobile banking apps let you transfer money, pay bills, deposit checks by photo, freeze your card, and contact customer service without leaving home. These services work 24/7 on weekdays and weekends. If your bank's app doesn't support what you need, call the customer service number on the back of your card — most banks have phone support available all day and night, even on weekends and holidays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are bank hours the same at every branch of the same bank?
No. Even branches of the same bank in the same city can have different hours. Location, staffing, and local demand affect when each branch opens and closes. Always check your specific branch's hours rather than assuming all branches of your bank operate on the same schedule.
Can I deposit a check at an ATM after the branch closes?
Yes. Most ATMs accept check deposits 24/7. The check posts to your account by the next business day if you deposit it before your bank's cutoff time (usually 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.). Deposits made after the cutoff post the following business day.
What time do banks close on Friday?
Most banks close between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, the same as other weekdays. Some branches in busy areas stay open until 6 p.m. or later. Check your specific branch's hours on the bank's website or call to confirm.
Are banks open on Saturdays?
Many banks are open on Saturday, but hours are shorter than weekdays — typically 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Some branches close on Saturday entirely. Check your branch's schedule online or by phone to be sure.
What should I do if I need to bank on a Sunday?
Use an ATM to withdraw cash or deposit checks. Most ATMs are available 24/7. For other services, use your bank's mobile app or website, or call customer service. Most banks offer 24/7 phone support even when branches are closed.
