With consumer confidence diving, the banking industry reeling, and even Starbucks closing 600 stores, what we need is a national holiday! Well happy Fourth of July to U.S. readers, and happy Friday to everyone else.
What are the big banks doing to celebrate the holiday online? Not much it seems. We are 25 hours away from the birthday and of the thirty largest banks, only ING Direct and WaMu (in the Seattle area at least) are showing the red, white and blue.
Anyone else know of a financial institution with an Independence Day theme on its home page? Drop it in the comments. Enjoy!

Regions.com has a small banner at the bottom of the page to show that they are closed on the 4th. How bout that!

The company that I work for, USAA, has banner space on the home page for the 4th that leads to a feature story.

Our company sent out several 4th of July Ecards for our financial services clients. I would be happy to share if anyone is interested.
