TD Bank is closed on Columbus Day
TD Bank observes Columbus Day as a federal holiday and closes all branches on that day. This means you cannot visit a branch location, use the drive-through, or access in-person services. The bank treats Columbus Day the same way it treats other federal holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
Columbus Day falls on the second Monday in October each year. In 2024, that's October 14. In 2025, it's October 13. If you need banking services on that Monday, you'll need to plan ahead or use alternatives that don't require a branch visit. The closure affects all TD Bank locations nationwide, regardless of whether your state officially recognizes the holiday.
Key Takeaways
- All TD Bank branches close on Columbus Day, including drive-through windows and in-person services.
- You can still use TD Bank's mobile app, online banking, and ATMs on Columbus Day to check balances, transfer money, and withdraw cash.
- If you need to deposit checks or cash on Columbus Day, use a TD Bank ATM with mobile deposit or a physical deposit envelope.
- Plan ahead for time-sensitive transactions like wire transfers or loan applications, which require a branch to be open.
What you can still do on Columbus Day
Even though branches are closed, TD Bank's digital services run 24/7. You can log into your account through the TD Bank mobile app or website to check balances, transfer money between your own accounts, pay bills, and review recent transactions. These services don't depend on branch staff and work the same way on Columbus Day as any other day.
TD Bank ATMs are also available on Columbus Day. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks using mobile deposit through the app, or use the ATM's envelope deposit slot if your machine has one. ATM transactions process normally, though deposits made after business hours may not post to your account until the next business day. Debit card purchases and online payments also work without interruption.
Transactions that require a branch to be open
Some banking tasks need a staff member and can only happen when a branch is open. Wire transfers, cashier's checks, loan applications, account disputes, and questions about holds on your deposits all require speaking to someone at the branch. If you need any of these services, you'll need to wait until the day after Columbus Day or handle them before the holiday.
If you're expecting a time-sensitive deposit or payment to clear on Columbus Day, remember that the federal banking system also closes on holidays. Transfers and payments initiated before the holiday may not process until the following business day, even if you use online banking. Direct deposits scheduled for Columbus Day typically post late because employers' payroll processors cannot send funds through the closed federal system.
Planning ahead for Columbus Day banking
If you know you'll need branch services around Columbus Day, visit on Friday or the Friday before if the holiday falls on a Monday. Deposit any checks you need to clear before the holiday, and handle wire transfers or other time-sensitive transactions early. This prevents delays and gives you access to your money when you need it.
If you're waiting for a deposit to post or a payment to clear, factor in the extra day. A check deposited on Friday may not clear until Wednesday if Monday is Columbus Day. If you're paying a bill with a deadline, submit it a few days earlier than usual to account for the holiday closure. Setting calendar reminders a week before Columbus Day helps you remember to complete branch-dependent tasks on time.
States where Columbus Day is not observed
A few states do not observe Columbus Day as a paid holiday, but TD Bank still closes its branches nationwide on Columbus Day. The bank's closure policy is uniform across all locations, regardless of state law. If you live in a state that doesn't recognize Columbus Day, TD Bank branches in your area will still be closed on that Monday.
This means that even in states like Hawaii, Alaska, or South Carolina—which have different names for the holiday or don't observe it at all—TD Bank follows the federal holiday schedule. The bank's national operations require a consistent closure date across all time zones and regions.
ATMs inside stores and other locations
TD Bank ATMs operate independently of branch hours, so they're available on Columbus Day. However, if the ATM is inside a store that's also closed for the holiday, you won't be able to access it. Look for a standalone TD Bank ATM or one in a location that stays open on holidays, such as a grocery store or convenience store that operates on federal holidays.
You can find TD Bank ATM locations through the bank's website or mobile app by searching for machines near you. The app shows which ATMs are in stores and which are standalone, helping you plan where to go on Columbus Day if you need cash or want to make a deposit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my TD Bank debit card on Columbus Day?
Yes. Your debit card works at any merchant, ATM, or online retailer on Columbus Day. The closure only affects TD Bank's physical branches and their staff. You can make purchases, withdraw cash from any ATM, and pay bills online without any interruption.
Will my direct deposit post on Columbus Day?
Direct deposits scheduled for Columbus Day may post late because the federal banking system is closed. Your employer's payroll processor may send the deposit before the holiday, but it won't clear into your account until Tuesday. Check with your employer about their payroll schedule if Columbus Day falls on your normal payday.
What if I need to dispute a charge on Columbus Day?
You can start a dispute through TD Bank's mobile app or website, which documents your claim. However, speaking to a representative about the details requires calling back after the holiday or visiting a branch on Tuesday. Start the dispute online to protect your timeline while you wait for the branch to reopen.

Can I call TD Bank customer service on Columbus Day?
