Adjusts hours of operation to close at 2
p.m. local time
Fifth Third Bank, National Association, today announced that in
observance of Juneteenth it will close its offices at 2 p.m. local
time on Friday, June 19 across its footprint, and respectfully
requests that customers plan their banking center transactions
accordingly. Juneteenth (also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation
Day or Freedom Day) is the observance of the ending of slavery in
the United States. The holiday links back to June 19, 1865, two and
a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, when Union
soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news that the Civil
War had ended and the slaves were free.
“As we consider the tremendous significance of this day and what
it represents, it also reminds us of how far we still must go to
have equality and inclusion for all,” said Greg D. Carmichael,
chairman, president and CEO of Fifth Third Bancorp. “As we observe
Juneteenth, each of us should pause, reflect, and contemplate its
significance and what it meant 155 years ago, what it means today,
and how we might take action to make tomorrow better for everyone.
While it is only one small step toward a more racially just and
equitable organization and community, we believe it is a step in
the right direction.”
Fifth Third recommends that customers needing to visit banking
centers on June 19 plan transactions for earlier in the day, as
well as to continue to leverage all of the digital banking tools
and resources for self-service banking and account access through
mobile, online and voice banking services, and the Bank’s network
of approximately 53,000 fee-free ATMs across the United States.
Speaking to Fifth Third employees, Carmichael stated, “We are on
this journey together, and we can individually and collectively be
a part of the positive change our country so desperately needs.
Together, we are committed to being a part of this change.”
