TCF Bank, Well Fargo stay open on holiday

The majority of financial institutions in the Pikes Peak region will be closed Monday Jan. 15 in observance of Martin Luther King Day - but not all of them. TCF Bank, which markets itself as "Colorado's Most Convenient Bank" because it's open 359 days a year, will be doing business as usual and Wells Fargo will open 53 of its 140 banks in Colorado, including all of those in Colorado Springs.

Wells Fargo allows its regional presidents to determine what they want to do about holiday hours. This year that means the Denver Metro and northern Colorado Wells Fargo branches will be closed Jan. 15 while those in southern and western Colorado will stay open. "It's a community by community decision," said Cristie Drumm, Wells Fargo spokeswoman. "All the banks in Wyoming are open Monday. All those in Montana are closed."

Among those taking the day off are 1stBank, Ent Federal Credit Union, Vectra Bank Colorado, Farmers State Bank, The Bank at Broadmoor, KeyBank, First Community Bank, Colorado National Bank, Air Academy Federal Credit Union and American National Bank. Academy Bank will offer service only at its Wal-Mart locations
