    Good Friday isn't a bank holiday or a public holiday just a holy day, he died on the cross and all that jazz.

    I think it's called a concession day. Given to bank and most public workers.

    This right here

    Banks never ever open on Good Friday

    Even the international banks in the IFSC are closed today.
    Well most of them
