The United States observes some holidays as federal holidays, which means that all non-essential federal government offices, including federal banks and post offices, will be closed. For example, Independence Day is also a bank holiday, according to the United States Federal Reserve, so commercial banks and other financial institutions most likely closed or operate on reduced hours.
