Banking institutions across México and the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) will be closed on Thursday, December 12th.
On each December 12th public celebrations are held in honor of Mary, the Virgin of Guadalupe. Catholics from across México, and other countries as well, pay pilgrimage to see an image of Mary (Virgen Morena), believed to be authentic, in the Basilica of Guadalupe in México City. Children are dressed in traditional costumes and are blessed in churches. Thousands of people come to church to pray.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Day is not a federal public holiday México, but it is a religious festival, so many streets, roads, and transport providers are busy on December 12th. It is an optional holiday for some workers and a holiday for banks. People intending on travelling via public transport in México should check with public transit authorities on any timetable or route changes.
Banks that offer their services in department stores and supermarkets will provide their services as usual, although it is a holiday.
Additionally, customers are offered banking services by phone and Internet, and network 36,000 ATMs across the country.
México’s Law for Transparency and Ordering of Financial Services states that if the deadline for payment corresponds to a non-business day, it may be made the next business day.
Banking, securities and other financial sector institutions resume their normal activities on Friday the 13th at their usual times.
