What days in March are banks closed and why
In March, banks in Argentina will be closed on March 23 and March 24 due to a tourist holiday and a national day of remembrance, respectively.
In Argentina, banking operations will be suspended for two days in March, necessitating awareness among the public for planning any banking-related needs. The specific dates when banks will be closed are March 23, designated as a tourist holiday, and March 24, observed as a national holiday for the Day of Memory for Truth and Justice. On these days, all banking institutions across the country will not provide service to the public.
The closure on March 23 is aimed at promoting tourism and allows for a long weekend, while March 24 holds significant historical importance, recognizing victims of state terrorism. The Banco Central de Argentina has communicated these days off in its holiday calendar, indicating that no banking transactions or personal dealings will be possible during these periods.
Customers are encouraged to plan accordingly as they will need to handle any banking matters before or after these days. Digital channels will still function for certain services, ensuring that customers have alternative options for their banking needs during the shutdown.
