Nicosia, Cyprus. The Central Bank of Cyprus (CBC) said all banks will remain closed on May 1, 2026 in observance of Labour Day. The closure applies to the entire Cyprus banking system.
Nationwide bank closure
The CBC said there will be no in-branch banking operations available on the day.
Long weekend implications
With May 1 falling on a Friday, the shutdown will create a three-day bank holiday weekend, potentially bringing forward or delaying some transactions and payroll processing until the following Monday.
Will the May 1, 2026 bank closure affect any of your planned transactions or payroll processing?
