Bank Holidays API

Bank Holidays in Bangladesh

Bank holidays in Bangladesh are issued each year by Bangladesh Bank, the central bank, and combine national civic dates, religious observances, and the annual half-day for bank closing on 31 December. Key dates include International Mother Language Day, Independence Day, Pohela Boishakh, May Day, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Victory Day, and Christmas. The Holidays API returns Bangladeshi bank holidays for any year.

The Bangladesh Bank Holidays API allows you to:

  • List every Bangladeshi bank holiday for a given year
  • Pull historical Bangladesh bank holiday calendars going back to 1980
  • Build settlement, payroll and treasury calendars that respect Bangladesh financial closures
  • Integrate Bangladesh banking holidays into trading, brokerage, or scheduling systems
