For those who work in the financial field, many still have to work on this holiday. Take a look at what financial institutes will remain open on Columbus Day.

Open Banks on Columbus Day
Columbus Day is on October 12th this year, and there are several financial institutions that will remain open on this holiday. Be sure to check which branches are open before you go to your bank. Some banks that are open are:
- American National Bank
- TD Bank
If your bank is closed, don’t fret. You’ll still have access to your online bank account if you have the app and if your institute has one in general. In other words, if you need to check your balance, make a deposit, or transfer funds, you can do it all in the app.
Conclusion
Columbus Day gives many people a day off of work. However, this isn’t always the case with people who work in the cooperate industry. Find out if your bank is open on Columbus Day or not before you make your trip. Or, if you need to do something in-person, I recommend going to the bank before or after Columbus Day.
