Chase branches are usually open on Black Friday, but hours are shorter than normal weekdays
Most Chase branches stay open on Black Friday, but they close earlier than they do Monday through Friday. A typical Black Friday schedule runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., though some locations may stay open until 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. Hours vary by branch and region, so the only way to know your location's schedule is to check before you go.
Chase does not publish a single Black Friday hours schedule for all branches. Instead, each branch sets its own hours based on local demand and staffing. A Chase in a busy shopping mall may have different hours than one in a quiet suburb. You need to look up your specific branch, not assume it follows a pattern.
Black Friday is not a federal holiday, so Chase is not legally required to close. That is different from Thanksgiving Day or Christmas, when most branches shut down entirely. On Black Friday, the bank chooses to stay open but with reduced staff and shorter hours to reflect lower customer traffic.
Key Takeaways
- Chase branches typically open at 9 a.m. on Black Friday but close between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., depending on the location.
- Hours vary by branch, so you must check your specific location's schedule rather than assuming a standard time.
- The fastest way to find hours is to search "Chase near me" on Google Maps or visit chase.com and use the branch locator.
- If you need banking services on Black Friday, mobile deposit, ATM withdrawals, and online transfers work 24/7 regardless of branch hours.
- Chase closes entirely on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, but Black Friday is a normal business day with shortened hours.
How to find your branch's Black Friday hours
Go to chase.com and click "Locations" or "Find a Branch." Enter your zip code or city. The search results show each nearby branch with its address, phone number, and hours. The hours listed are usually current, but they can change without notice, especially around holidays.
Call your branch directly if you want to confirm. The phone number appears in the search results. A staff member can tell you whether the branch will be open on Black Friday and what time it closes. This takes two minutes and removes any doubt.
Google Maps is another option. Search "Chase near me," and the map shows nearby branches with their hours. Google pulls hours from Chase's official data, so they are usually accurate, but call ahead if the timing is tight.
What you can do without visiting a branch on Black Friday
Chase mobile deposit lets you deposit checks from your phone 24/7. Take a photo of the front and back of the check, open the Chase Mobile app, and follow the deposit steps. The money usually appears in your account within one business day. This works on Black Friday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other day the branch is closed.
ATMs work around the clock. You can withdraw cash, deposit cash, transfer money between accounts, and check your balance at any Chase ATM, whether the branch is open or not. If you need cash on Black Friday and the branch is closed, the ATM is your answer.
Online banking and the Chase app let you pay bills, transfer money, set up payments, and manage your account from any device at any time. These services do not depend on branch hours. If you are paying a bill on Black Friday, you can do it online instantly.
Chase hours on other major holidays
Chase closes entirely on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. These are federal holidays, and the bank shuts down all branches. You cannot visit a branch or speak to a teller, but ATMs, mobile deposit, and online banking still work.
On the day after Thanksgiving (the Friday after Thanksgiving), most Chase branches open at 9 a.m. but may close earlier than usual. Check your branch's hours for that specific day, as they differ from regular Fridays.
On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, Chase branches usually open but close in the early afternoon—often by 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. Again, call your branch to confirm, because hours vary by location.
Planning ahead for Black Friday banking needs
If you know you will need to visit a Chase branch on Black Friday, plan to go in the morning. Branches open at 9 a.m., and traffic is lightest before 11 a.m. By early afternoon, many branches are already closed or about to close.
If your need is not urgent—depositing a check, asking a question, or opening an account—consider doing it the day before or the Monday after. You will have full branch hours and shorter wait times. Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year, and bank branches often see overflow traffic from people running errands between stores.
If you need to wire money, set up a new account, or handle something that requires a teller, do it before Black Friday. Many of these services cannot be completed online or through the app, and a branch with shortened hours may not have time to help you.
What happens if you miss the branch on Black Friday
If the branch closes before you can get there, use mobile deposit or an ATM to handle what you can. For anything that requires a teller—a wire transfer, a cashier's check, or opening a new account—you will need to wait until the branch reopens. Most branches return to normal hours the following Monday.
If your issue is time-sensitive, call the branch on Black Friday morning and ask whether they can help you before closing time. Some branches will hold a teller available if you call ahead, especially for simple tasks like deposits or account questions.
