Looking ahead to Juneteenth National Independence Day
In June 2021, President Joe Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth National Independence Day a federal holiday. Next year, Juneteenth National Independence Day falls on a Sunday, which means Federal Reserve Banks and branches will be closed the following Monday, June 20, 2022.
Don’t forget to program this change into your back-end systems to ensure your payment operations continue to run smoothly through the Juneteenth holiday.
