this is because of new years traditions and other things!

Banks here are closed on public holidays and weekends too, so it was closed from 31 December, and will be opened on 3 January.
Nowadays I usually use internet banking to transfer money. If I am not mistaken, some banks here don't handle the deposit or withdrawal matters, we are asked to either use internet banking or the ATM machine to do the transfer too.

@japanesesamurai Do you still have access to ATM when the banks are closed?

it is very bad .. i think at least one bank or one agency must be open for an emergency.

America here. Banks are always closed on national holidays. I think this year, they closed early on December 31 (half day) and closed full day on January 1st and 2nd (Monday is an observed holiday due to NY being on a Sunday). It's a good thing I didn't have any banking needs during this time.
