National Bank Holiday Declared for June 8 in Venezuela

All Venezuelan banks will observe a national holiday on Monday, June 8, 2026. The Superintendency of the Banking Sector Institutions (Sudeban) announced the closure in recognition of Corpus Christi, a religious observance included in the official calendar for the Venezuelan financial system.

During this non-working day, both public and private banking agencies and service windows will be closed to the public. Consequently, customers will be unable to conduct in-person transactions. This measure is part of Sudeban's established schedule of bank holidays for the year, which includes observances for national festivities and traditional Catholic religious celebrations.

According to the official calendar, Venezuelan banks are scheduled to have 25 non-working days throughout 2026, encompassing both national and bank-specific holidays. Despite the physical closures, customers will still have access to a range of banking services.

Electronic channels, including online banking platforms, mobile applications, automated teller machines (ATMs), point-of-sale terminals, and electronic payment systems, will remain operational throughout the holiday. Additionally, some financial institutions may keep certain service points open, particularly external windows located in high-traffic areas such as shopping centers.
