Introduction to Chase Bank Holidays and Observances for 2024
Understanding holiday observances is crucial for planning your banking activities, and Chase Bank adheres to federal guidelines for holidays as set by the Federal Reserve System. Below, we provide an overview of how public holidays impact Chase Bank's operations in 2024.
Federal Holiday Observance Guidelines
In the United States, federal holidays are established by law under 5 U.S.C. 6103. These holidays are observed according to specific rules, especially when they fall on weekends. For most federal employees, if a public holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on the preceding Friday. Conversely, if the holiday occurs on a Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday. This system ensures that federal holidays are recognized on weekdays, facilitating easier access to government services and institutions.
Holiday Naming Conventions
One key holiday is Presidents’ Day, officially recognized as Washington’s Birthday. This holiday honors George Washington, the first President of the United States. However, in common usage, the term Presidents’ Day (also written as President’s Day or Presidents Day) is often employed. This nomenclature is particularly prevalent in states that commemorate additional presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson, alongside Washington. The varied terminology reflects the broader recognition of multiple presidents during this holiday.
