Post offices across the U.S. will be closed for the holiday and mail delivery will be paused.

Are banks open on Memorial Day?
Most banks — including major banks such as Chase and Wells Fargo — are closed on Memorial Day, because they fall under the Federal Reserve, which is taking the day off as a government agency. Online banking services will still be in operation, with limited access to a live representative in many cases. ATMs should also remain accessible.
