Every year brings with it a number of holidays that are associated with break from work and studies. The upcoming year 2014 is no exception to this trend. You need to be aware of the upcoming bank holidays in 2014 and plan your transactions and investments accordingly. 

The holidays will not be the same on every country and if your deal with banks in various countries, it is advisable that you keep track on these holidays to ensure smooth transaction.
In a lot of nations including the USA, Canada and the UK, 1st January is a bank holiday. 

The same is true of Christmas, 25th December. On these holidays, financial organizations, schools and almost all types of banks remain closed. If you make any online money transfer on these days, it will be reflected and become effective on next working day. However, in some cases, bank ATMS are kept open and functional to evade inconvenience to millions of users.

In Canada, the government offers total leave on the bank holidays. However, the employees do not have to suffer a cut in payment. In European countries, public holidays are also bank holidays though in some countries the number of days can vary a little. Not all employees get leave on these days.

Those who have to work are given excess payouts. The residents of the UK are given a special bank holiday when the need arises. If a bank holiday falls on a weekend, the residents are granted leave on next working day.

In the USA, the bank holidays are observed as bank holidays and so the majority of residents enjoy leaves. However, the bank holidays do not always coincide with capital market and stock market closure days. Besides, two consecutive days are not observed as bank holidays in the USA.
