Truist is closed on Good Friday

Truist Bank observes Good Friday as a federal holiday and closes all branches nationwide. This means you cannot visit a branch, use the drive-through, or speak to a banker in person on Good Friday. The exact date changes each year — Good Friday falls on the Friday before Easter Sunday.

If you need banking services on Good Friday, you have options that do not require a branch visit. ATMs remain available 24/7, so you can withdraw cash or check your balance. Online banking, mobile app transfers, and bill pay all work the same way they do on any other day. If your need is urgent and cannot wait until Saturday or Monday, these digital channels are your path forward.

Key Takeaways

  • All Truist branches close on Good Friday, which falls on a different date each year depending on the Easter calendar.
  • ATMs work normally on Good Friday, so you can withdraw cash or deposit checks at any Truist ATM.
  • Online banking, the Truist mobile app, and phone banking remain available on Good Friday for transfers, bill pay, and account management.
  • If you need to speak with a banker or handle something that requires a branch visit, plan ahead and visit on Thursday or wait until Saturday.

When Good Friday falls and how to plan ahead

Good Friday is always the Friday before Easter Sunday. The date shifts between March 22 and April 25 depending on the lunar calendar. In 2024, Good Friday is March 29. In 2025, it is April 18. If you have a banking task that requires a branch — depositing a check by hand, getting a cashier's check, opening a new account — check the calendar and visit Truist on Thursday or the following Monday.

Many people forget about holiday closures until they need the bank. Set a phone reminder a few days before Good Friday if you know you will need something that week. This gives you time to visit a branch beforehand or arrange an alternative solution.

What banking services work on Good Friday

Truist ATMs operate around the clock on Good Friday. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks at ATMs equipped with mobile deposit or envelope-free deposit, transfer money between your own accounts, and check your balance. If you use a Truist debit card at another bank's ATM, you may be charged a fee, but the transaction will go through.

Online banking through Truist's website and the Truist mobile app both work on Good Friday. You can pay bills, transfer money between accounts, send money to other people through Truist's digital payment tools, and review your transaction history. Phone banking also remains open — call the number on the back of your debit card to speak with an automated system or request a live representative, though wait times may be longer on a holiday.

What you cannot do on Good Friday at Truist

You cannot visit a Truist branch in person on Good Friday. This means you cannot deposit cash by hand, speak face-to-face with a banker, open a new account, apply for a loan, order a cashier's check, or handle any service that requires a physical location. If you need a cashier's check, order it on Thursday or wait until Monday. If you need to open an account, some banks allow online account opening, but you would need to check whether Truist offers this option for your account type.

Wire transfers initiated through a branch also cannot be completed on Good Friday. If you need to send a wire, do it on Thursday. Wires sent through online banking may process, but they typically settle on the next business day anyway, so the holiday does not change the timeline.

How to handle banking needs that fall on Good Friday

If you know you will need cash on Good Friday, withdraw it on Thursday. If you need to deposit a check, use mobile deposit through the Truist app if you have it — you can photograph the front and back of the check and submit it without visiting a branch. Mobile deposit usually posts within one business day.

If you need to pay a bill and it is due on Good Friday, pay it online or through the app a day or two early. Most billers process payments that arrive a day or two before the due date without penalty. If you are paying a Truist loan or credit card, online payment is instant and counts as received on the day you submit it, even if it is a holiday.

For anything that truly requires a branch visit and cannot wait, plan to go on Thursday afternoon or first thing Monday morning. Branches are often busier than usual on the day before and after a holiday, so arrive early if you can.

Other federal holidays when Truist closes

Truist closes on the same federal holidays as most U.S. banks: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Good Friday is the only religious holiday that triggers a nationwide bank closure. If you observe other religious holidays, Truist may offer accommodations, but branches will not close system-wide.

Check Truist's website or call your local branch if you are unsure whether a specific day is a holiday closure. Some branches may have different hours during certain holidays, and this can vary by location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Truist debit card on Good Friday?

Yes. Your debit card works at ATMs, stores, and online merchants on Good Friday just as it does any other day. Only the physical branch locations are closed. If you need cash, use any Truist ATM or a non-Truist ATM (though you may pay a fee for the latter).

Will my direct deposit post on Good Friday?

Direct deposits scheduled for Good Friday typically post on that day, since the ACH system processes them automatically. However, some employers may delay payroll to account for the holiday, so your deposit might arrive on Thursday or Monday instead. Check with your employer if you are unsure of the timing.

What if I need to dispute a transaction on Good Friday?

Call Truist's customer service line on the back of your card. A representative can document the dispute over the phone, and you do not need to visit a branch. Follow up with written documentation if required, but the phone call starts the process and protects your account.

Can I open a Truist account on Good Friday?

You cannot open an account at a branch on Good Friday. Some banks allow online account opening, but you would need to check Truist's website to see if this option is available for the account type you want. If online opening is not available, wait until Monday.

Do Truist ATMs charge fees on Good Friday?

No. Truist ATMs do not charge fees on Good Friday any more than they do on a regular day. If you use a non-Truist ATM, you may be charged a fee by that bank, but Truist's own ATMs are always free for Truist customers.
