How US Federal Holidays affect scheduled payments on Melio

  • Updated

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.

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.
