Banks Open on New Year’s Day 2022
Since New Year’s Day is a Federal Reserve bank holiday, most banks will be closed Jan. 1, 2022.
Do note that many financial institutions have online and mobile banking options that you can access even if the branch is closed.
How To Access Your Money If Your Bank Is Closed
You can access your funds through online banking and ATMs even if your bank is closed. Most ATMs are open 24/7 and many banks have drive-thru ATMs that are open even when the bank is closed.
You are still able to get a money order if needed. You will need to find a provider that stays open long enough for you to finish the transaction. For instance, you can purchase money orders at Walmart, which is open for New Year’s.
