Find out what banking services are like on the October 12th holiday

Bank branches across the country will not have in-person service next Monday (12), the Nossa Senhora Aparecida holiday. According to the Brazilian Federation of Banks (Febraban), customers will be able to use the digital channels of financial institutions to carry out operations during the day.

Service at branches will resume on Tuesday (13) in locations where there is no state or municipal holiday.

Electronic channels

According to Febraban, Pix will operate normally, 24 hours a day, including during holidays. Bank applications, internet banking, ATMs, telephone service and banking correspondents will also be available.

Operations that depend on bank clearing, such as TEDs, checks, bills and scheduled payments, can be carried out on holidays, but will only be processed on the first business day following.

Accounts

Consumption bills, such as water, electricity, telephone and bills due on October 12th, can be paid on the next business day without interest or fines being charged. The guidance does not apply to taxes and duties, which must be paid in advance to avoid surcharges.

Febraban recommends that customers plan for operations that depend on bank clearing. The entity also remembers that invoices registered with Authorized Direct Debit (DDA) can be paid normally through banks' electronic channels.
