Speaking with an American. he says they dont have Bank Holidays.. are there any other countries have them?
Answers:
Well, technically we do, we just don't call them Bank Holidays. I think we just call them holidays or day off.
I'm thinking there are a bunch of countries that have "Bank Holidays," but they may call them something different.
hope this helps!
I'm in the US, and we do have "bank holidays", but it's an informal term used to refer to days that banks are closed but other businesses are open, and aren't necessarily federal (government) holidays.
france does, it has two more days than us. the british government is thinking of increasing ours Yeppeeee
He's WRONG!!
"Legal holiday" is the predominant term used within the United States, although "bank holiday" is recognized by many persons as referring to the same phenomenon. In the United States both federal holidays and state holidays are observed.

There is 'Bank holiday' in Thailand. It's 1st of July (the next weekday, if 1st of July falls on weekend.) All banks are closed on this day.

We have holidays here in Spain, all called 'fiestas' banks and shops are closed, not allowed by law to open, we have lots of them, national, regional and local, so keeps us on our toes working out when they all are!
We have Bank Holidays in Ireland, like they do in Britain, but not always on the same weekends.
