Presidents' Day is a holiday for employees of the US Federal
government, and for contractors whose contract allows for Federal
holidays.  It's also a holiday for some US state governments.  Some
other US state governments have a Presidents' Day, but on a different
date.  Of course, not everyone gets to observe it on the designated
day -- some jobs are staffed 24x7, such as police.

Federally-insured banks are regulated by the federal government, so
they tend to have off when the federal government has off.  [Is it a
formal requirement?]  Banks insured by other entities
(i.e. state-insured banks, assuming any are still around) would use
their respective criteria.

at the time it collapsed and made S&L failure history.]
