What opens and closes on Labor Day weekend
Banks

Billing slips and consumption bills (water, energy, telephone, among others) due on days when there is no bank clearing can be paid, without extra charges, on the next business day. The payment of taxes and duties must be anticipated in order to avoid charging interest and fines.
Internet banking, mobile banking and ATMs can be used to pay bills, check balances and statements and transfers, among other services. PIX works normally.
