Bank of America profits swung higher in the second quarter, the firm announced this week, reporting a net income of $2.5 billion on July 18. That was up markedly from the same period last year, when one-off accounting charges - designed to guard against liabilities - saw the bank post a loss of $8.8 billion. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J.

If you'd like to take care of some business at the bank on Thanksgiving, you probably won't be able to do so, at least in person.

As Thanksgiving is a federal holiday, expect banks nationwide to be closed on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012. That goes for all of the major banks, including TD Bank, which only closes four days the entire year.

That said, there are a few banks who will offer limited hours on Thanksgiving Day, such as select PNC Bank branches, My Bank Tracker reports.

If you need a few dollars, perhaps for Black Friday, ATM machines should be operating properly on Thanksgiving Day. The same goes for mobile Web banking or online banking.

Any transactions attempted on Thanksgiving, since it's not considered a business day in banking, will be officially processed the following day on Friday, Nov. 23, 2012. Banks will be back open that day.

Still have questions? Try contacting your bank or visiting its website for an FAQ or more information.
