Banks

Use the bank or payment-system operating notice for branch hours and settlement cut-offs. The public-holiday list does not certify each institution's closure.

Schools

Public holidays are separate from school terms and vacations. No new school-break calendar is certified in this review; use the responsible education authority or school schedule.

Practical planning

Use the calendar and dated regional exceptions before booking. Long-weekend results use stored applicable occurrences; provisional dates and local exceptions require the stated qualification.
