Huntington Bank is closed on Good Friday

Huntington Bank branches close on Good Friday, which is a federal holiday. The exact date changes each year because Easter is calculated based on the lunar calendar — in 2024 it falls on March 29, in 2025 on April 18. If you need to visit a branch, plan for the Thursday before or the Monday after.

Online banking, mobile apps, and ATMs remain available on Good Friday even when physical branches are closed. You can transfer money, check balances, pay bills, and deposit checks remotely without interruption. However, any transactions you submit on Good Friday may not process until the next business day because the bank's back-office systems are also closed.

If you have a time-sensitive payment due on Good Friday, submit it by Thursday to avoid delays. Wire transfers, ACH payments, and bill payments all follow the same rule: they initiate on Good Friday but settle on Monday.

Key Takeaways

  • Huntington Bank branches are closed on Good Friday, but ATMs and online banking work normally.
  • Transactions submitted on Good Friday process on Monday, so submit time-sensitive payments by Thursday.
  • Good Friday dates vary by year because it is tied to the Easter calendar.
  • Wire transfers and ACH payments follow the same Monday settlement rule as other bank transactions.
  • Call your local branch on Thursday if you need to speak with someone about a Friday deadline.

What transactions process on Good Friday and what wait until Monday

Transactions fall into two categories: those that initiate on Good Friday and those that settle on Monday. An ACH transfer (used for bill pay and peer transfers) that you submit on Good Friday enters the queue but does not move money until Monday. The same applies to check deposits through mobile deposit — the image uploads on Friday, but the funds do not clear until Monday.

Wire transfers do not process at all on Good Friday. If you submit one on Friday morning, it sits in the queue until Monday morning. This matters if you are paying a contractor, sending money internationally, or settling a time-sensitive debt. Wires are final once sent, so the delay is purely on the sending bank's end.

Debit card purchases and ATM withdrawals process immediately on Good Friday because they do not require the bank's back-office staff. The money leaves your account right away. Credit card payments submitted online also go through, though they may not post to your account until Monday.

How to handle payments and transfers if Good Friday falls on your deadline

If a bill is due on Good Friday, the safest move is to pay by Thursday. Most billers (utilities, credit card companies, loan servicers) do not penalize you for paying early, and you avoid the risk that your payment arrives late because of the bank holiday.

If you cannot pay by Thursday, contact the biller directly and ask whether they accept payments on Good Friday. Some large companies process payments on holidays; others do not. A utility company or credit card issuer can tell you in one call whether Friday payment will post on time or whether you should expect a Monday posting date.

For peer-to-peer transfers (Venmo, Zelle, PayPal), these services often process on holidays because they run on separate networks from traditional banking infrastructure. Check the app to see whether your transfer shows as pending or completed. If it shows completed on Friday, the money has moved; if it shows pending, it will settle Monday.

Other Huntington Bank holidays that close branches

Huntington Bank closes branches on all federal holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Good Friday is not a federal holiday in the strict sense, but Huntington treats it as one and closes branches nationwide.

The bank also closes on the day after Thanksgiving (sometimes called Black Friday), though this is not a federal holiday. ATMs and online banking remain open on all these days.

If you are unsure whether a specific date is a Huntington closure, call your local branch or check the Huntington website, which lists holiday hours by location. Some branches in areas with significant religious observances may have different schedules.

Planning ahead for Good Friday payments and deposits

If you receive a paycheck that would normally deposit on Good Friday, it will deposit on Monday instead. Payroll systems are programmed to skip federal holidays, so your employer's bank will not process the deposit until the next business day. Check with your HR department if you are unsure whether your pay date shifts.

If you are expecting a tax refund or government payment (Social Security, unemployment, stimulus), the same rule applies. The payment lands in your account on Monday, not Friday. Plan your cash flow accordingly if you were counting on Friday access.

For loan payments (mortgage, auto, student loans), most servicers accept payments on Good Friday through online portals or automatic debit. The payment posts on Monday. If you have a grace period that ends on Friday, paying by Thursday removes any ambiguity about whether the payment arrived on time.

What to do if you need cash on Good Friday

ATMs are open 24/7 on Good Friday, so you can withdraw cash at any Huntington ATM or at ATMs in the Allpoint network (which Huntington participates in). If you need a large amount of cash, withdraw it on Thursday to avoid any possibility of the ATM being out of service.

If you need to deposit cash or checks on Good Friday, mobile deposit works for checks but not for cash. Use the Huntington mobile app to photograph the front and back of a check and deposit it remotely. The funds will be available Monday. For cash deposits, you will need to wait until Saturday or Monday, depending on whether your branch has a Saturday schedule.
