Venezuelan banks to close nationwide on June 24 for Battle of Carabobo holiday

The Venezuelan banking sector will suspend all services nationwide on Wednesday, June 24, as the country observes the Battle of Carabobo holiday. This annual commemoration is a fixed date on the Venezuelan banking calendar, leading to the closure of all bank branches and teller services for the day.

Customers will be unable to perform any transactions at physical bank locations. However, the holiday closure does not signify a complete halt in banking operations. Essential services such as online banking platforms, automated teller machines (ATMs), interbank mobile payment systems, and point-of-sale terminals will continue to function normally.

These operational services will allow clients to make payments, transfer funds, and check balances without needing to visit a bank in person. Some financial institutions may opt to keep certain external teller windows open, particularly those located in high-traffic areas like shopping malls, depending on their internal policies.

To confirm the availability of any specific services during the holiday, customers are advised to check the official websites or social media channels of their respective banks.
