Although the Day of the Revolution is on November 20th,  México’s banks, the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), and other financial institutions will be closed for business on Monday, November 18th, as the country celebrates the anniversary of the 1910 start of the popular movement which led to the overthrow of dictator José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori after 34 years of military rule. The decade of civil war led to the promulgation of the nation’s constitution in 1917 and the 1920 ascension to the presidency of General Álvaro Obregón.

According to the general provision of the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) establishing legal holidays in the financial sector, the institutions will close on Monday and reopen for business on Tuesday, November 19th.

However, banks that offer their services in stores and supermarkets will be open to the public during their normal business hours on Monday.

Customers of banks will have available to them telephone banking services, internet banking and 36,000 ATMs across the country, where they can make balance inquiries and cash withdrawals.
