The US has 11 Federal Holidays a year as designated by the U.S. Federal Reserve System (The Fed). All ACH bank transfers rely on The Fed, and can’t be processed on a Federal Holiday.
Payments to vendors via Melio that are scheduled for a Federal Holiday, or the 3 following days, will be delayed by 1 day.

We suggest scheduling payments a few days early when a Federal Holiday is coming up.
When scheduling your payment deduction date, Federal Holiday dates will be blocked on the Melio calendar.
NOTE: Federal Holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday
5 Federal Holidays have fixed dates and occasionally fall on a weekend. A holiday that falls on a Sunday is observed the following Monday and one that falls on a Saturday means some banks may be closed the Friday before.
