If you have any banking you need done ahead of the New Year, it’s a good idea to get it done as soon as possible before banks close.
New Year’s Day is a Saturday and will likely cause many banks to be closed for the federal holiday.
Sometimes when a federal holiday lands on a Saturday, businesses choose to close their offices the Friday before.
