August Bank Holiday Monday 2024: will any UK banks will be open?
All banks will be closed on Monday 26 August - apart from in Scotland.
If you need to visit your bank for the August Bank Holiday (26 August), you'll be out of luck...unless you live in Scotland.
It will be a normal working day for those living north of the border as they enjoyed their Summer Bank Holiday on Monday 5 August.
Across the rest of the UK, no banks plan to open branches on the day. Even Metro Bank, which previously welcomed customers on public holidays, will be shut after overhauling its store hours.
Here's a list of all the banks that will be closed completely:
- Barclays;
- Halifax;
- HSBC;
- Lloyds;
- NatWest/Royal Bank of Scotland;
- Santander;
- TSB;
- Metro.

I bank with MetroBank - I don't use much cash but when I want it I want small denomination notes and coins, neither of which come out of ATMs. It helps that Metrobank are usually open every day and for longer hours than most banks so I don't have to make a special trip when I want cash, e.g.I can go early evening when grocery shopping
