Chase closes most branches on Good Friday

Chase Bank branches are closed on Good Friday. The exact date changes each year because Good Friday falls on the Friday before Easter Sunday, which moves between late March and late April. In 2024, Good Friday is March 29. In 2025, it is April 18.

If you need to visit a branch on Good Friday, you will not be able to. However, you can still use Chase's digital services: mobile app, online banking, ATMs, and customer service phone lines remain available on the holiday. If you have a time-sensitive transaction, plan ahead or use these channels instead.

Chase treats Good Friday the same way it treats other federal holidays — branches close, but digital banking continues. This applies to all Chase locations nationwide, including drive-through windows.

Key Takeaways

  • Chase branches close on Good Friday each year, but the date changes because Good Friday is tied to Easter.
  • You can still access your money through Chase's mobile app, website, ATMs, and phone customer service on Good Friday.
  • If you need to deposit a check or speak to a banker in person, plan your visit for the business day before or after the holiday.
  • Chase's wire transfer and ACH processing may be delayed if you initiate them on Good Friday, since the banking system itself is closed.

What you can and cannot do on Good Friday

On Good Friday, you can check your balance, transfer money between your own accounts, pay bills online, deposit checks through mobile deposit, and withdraw cash from any Chase ATM. You can also call Chase customer service at the number on the back of your card — they operate on holidays.

What you cannot do: visit a physical branch, speak to a banker face-to-face, order a cashier's check in person, or resolve issues that require branch-level access like updating a signature card or closing an account. If you need any of these, handle them on Thursday or the following Monday.

Wire transfers and ACH payments initiated on Good Friday will not process until the next business day because the Federal Reserve and the banking system are closed. If you have a payment due on Good Friday itself, send it by Thursday to avoid a late posting.

Planning ahead for Good Friday transactions

If you know you will need cash or in-person banking on or around Good Friday, withdraw money on Thursday. Chase ATMs work 24/7, so you can get cash anytime, but if you need a teller, go before the holiday.

For bill payments, checks, and transfers, use online banking or the mobile app on Thursday. This ensures they post on time and you avoid any weekend or holiday delays. If a payment is due on Good Friday, send it by Wednesday to be safe.

If you are expecting a deposit — paycheck, tax refund, or transfer from another bank — it may arrive a day later than usual if it was scheduled for Good Friday. The banking system does not process deposits on federal holidays, so Friday deposits typically post on Monday instead.

Other Chase holiday closures you should know

Chase closes branches on all federal holidays: 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 not a federal holiday, but Chase observes it anyway.

On all these days, branches close but digital banking continues. The same rules apply: use your app, website, ATM, or phone to handle transactions, and plan in-person visits for business days.

Some Chase branches in certain states or cities may have different hours on days surrounding holidays. If you have a branch near you, check its specific hours on Chase.com or call ahead before the holiday week.

How to find your nearest Chase branch and its hours

Go to Chase.com and use the branch locator tool. Enter your zip code or city, and the tool will show you every Chase branch nearby, along with its regular hours and holiday hours. You can also see which branches have drive-through service and which offer extended hours.

Call your branch directly at the number listed in the locator. Staff can confirm whether they are open on the day you need them and tell you if there are any temporary closures or changes.

If you use Chase's mobile app, you can access the branch locator from the menu. This is useful if you are traveling and need to find a branch in an unfamiliar area.

What to do if you have an urgent banking need on Good Friday

If you have a true emergency — a fraudulent charge, a locked account, or a payment that must go out immediately — call Chase customer service at the number on your card. They are available 24/7, including holidays, and can often resolve issues over the phone or authorize emergency transactions.

For fraud, report it right away by phone. Chase can freeze your card and dispute unauthorized charges even on a holiday. For account access issues, customer service can help troubleshoot or unlock your account remotely.

If you need to send money urgently, use Chase's mobile app or website to transfer to another Chase account (instant) or to set up a wire transfer (processes the next business day). Both work on Good Friday, though the wire will not actually move until Monday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my paycheck deposit on Good Friday?

If your employer processes payroll on Good Friday, the deposit will not post to your Chase account until Monday because the banking system is closed. If payroll is processed on Thursday, it should post Friday morning as usual. Check with your employer about their payroll schedule around the holiday.

Can I use my Chase debit card on Good Friday?

Yes. Your debit card works at any merchant, ATM, or online retailer on Good Friday. The holiday only affects Chase branch locations and the internal banking system's processing of transfers and deposits — not your ability to spend money or withdraw cash.

What if I need to deposit a check on Good Friday?

Use mobile deposit through the Chase app instead of visiting a branch. Take a photo of the front and back of the check, and it will be deposited into your account. The check will post by the next business day, usually Monday.

Do Chase ATMs charge extra fees on Good Friday?

No. Chase ATMs charge the same fees on holidays as they do any other day. If you use an out-of-network ATM, you may be charged a fee by that ATM's operator, but Chase's own ATMs are free for Chase customers.

Can I open a new account on Good Friday?

You cannot open an account in person at a branch on Good Friday. However, you can open many Chase accounts online through the website or app, and this process works on holidays. Some account types may require a phone call to customer service, which is also available on Good Friday.
