As a federal holiday, government entities like the DMV, libraries, and courts are closed. The U.S. Postal Service is closed, with Columbus Day among 11 holidays in which postal workers get a paid day off and there is no regular mail delivery. Most banks, including Bank of America, Citibank, Regions, and Wells Fargo, have their branches closed, but Chase and TD Bank are open. The federal holidays impact on Wall Street is limited. Both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market are operating as usual, as Mondays holiday is not among the nine market holidays.
