I don’t want to start a conspiracy theory, but I think banks secretly want you to fail at depositing money on weekends. Think about it: They close at 5:00 PM on weekdays, then suddenly on Saturday, they’re like, “We’re outta here by lunch, good luck!” It’s a power move, honestly.
But the real reason is that Saturday is considered a “partial banking day.” Most banks just do lobby services—deposits, withdrawals, maybe a notary—but no safety deposit box access or loan signings. They basically say, “We’ll help you a little, but don’t get too comfortable.” Rude, but consistent.
