Public holidays in the countries we send money to
This article lists public holidays for the top countries we send money to. Public holidays in either the sending country or the receiving country can affect when your payment is processed.
Before you start
- This list covers a selection of the most popular destinations we send money to. It is not a complete list.
- If you are sending money to a country not listed here, please contact our support team for more details, or check the official government or central bank website of that country.
- A country not listed here may still be supported. Please see our article Countries available with Send for the current list of supported destinations.
- If a public holiday falls on a weekend, some countries move the day off to the next working day. This is called a "substitute" or "observed" day.

For the United States, the local public holiday date may fall one day later than the equivalent date in Australian time. For this reason, the United States section shows two date columns: the Local public holiday date (as observed in the United States) and the Date in Australia.
