Traditionally, banks, like the majority of businesses, are closed on July 4 as on other federal holidays. However, because July 4 falls on a Sunday this year, the holiday is observed on Monday, July 5. That means most businesses and offices, including banks, are shut today.

It is worth noting, however, that ATMs and online banking services will remain available on July 4 and July 5.
