What is a bank holiday (choose TWO answers)?

Correct Answers: A day when banks are closed; A public holiday

A bank holiday in the UK is both:

A public holiday — a day when most workers are entitled to a day off
A day when banks are closed — the term originates from the Bank Holidays Act 1871, which specified days on which banks and financial institutions must close

England and Wales typically have 8 bank holidays per year, while Scotland and Northern Ireland have 9 and 10 respectively. Common bank holidays include New Year's Day, Easter Monday, and Christmas Day.
