Banks are closed today, October 14, 2025, because it is the day after Columbus Day, which is a federal holiday observed on October 13. Columbus Day is officially recognized as a Federal Reserve bank holiday, and most banks close their physical branches on that day. While the holiday itself was yesterday, some banks remain affected by the holiday with possible delays in processing transactions today. This was why many banks were closed on October 13, and it affects banking operations around this period. Today, however, banks are generally open and operating as normal.
