Major high street banks have confirmed they are shutting branches over the Easter bank holiday weekend. The Easter weekend often throws a spanner in the works as businesses, retailers, and supermarkets adjust their opening hours to reflect the holidays.
There are two bank holidays over Easter and these are Good Friday and Easter Monday – on top of a public holiday on Easter Sunday. Anyone planning to visit their bank or building society branch over the Easter weekend should double-check opening times as they also often shake things up over the long weekend.
The majority of firms will shut their doors on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday. However, branches that typically open on Saturdays will be open as normal, since it’s not a public holiday. If you’re planning to visit your local branch, it’s a good idea to double-check opening times using your bank’s online branch locator.
Here’s a full breakdown of the Easter opening hours of each of the UK’s major high street banks.
