Good Friday, observed on April 3, 2026, is not a federal holiday in the United States, but it is recognized as a public holiday in states like Delaware and New Jersey. On this day, the U.S. Postal Service will continue regular mail delivery and pick-up services, along with private couriers such as UPS and FedEx. Most banks, including major institutions like Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, will maintain normal business hours, allowing customers to conduct transactions.
