Currency holidays 2026: what needs to be considered
On bank or currency holidays, it is generally not possible to process and execute traditional payments in the respective currency. When managing your company’s international money transfers and foreign currency exchange, it’s essential to be aware of currency holidays both in your own country and in the country and currency to which you are sending money.
To help you plan international payments, we’ve compiled a table with an overview of the most important bank holidays in 2026 (excluding weekends) for major currencies, including CHF (Switzerland), EUR (Eurozone), GBP (Great Britain), USD (United States of America), CZK (Czech Republic), PLN (Poland), and CNH (China).

Alongside this list, we also offer a CSV file with instructions so that you can import these bank holidays directly into Outlook, making it even easier to plan your transactions in advance!
