Overview
- Branches suspend in‑person service nationwide for the holiday, with customers directed to apps, internet banking, ATMs and bank correspondents for routine needs.
- Pix, Brazil’s instant payment system that settles transfers in real time, continues to operate 24 hours without interruption.
- Traditional clearing does not run during the holiday, so TED transfers and other compensations post only on the next business day.
- Bills and utility invoices that fall due on the holiday can be paid on the next business day without extra charges, according to the banking federation.
- Taxes and government fees tied to the holiday date require early payment to avoid interest and fines, and Febraban says the April 21 Tiradentes holiday will follow the same rules.
