2024 is the Year of the Dragon - the Wood Dragon, to be precise. This year the two-week-long Chinese New Year holiday begins on February 10, 2024, and U.S. Bank is celebrating across its footprint with employees, clients and communities.
"Lunar New Year is such an important celebration, and we are recognizing it in a number of different ways," said Sekou Kaalund, executive vice president, head of branch banking for U.S. Bank. "The Year of the Dragon symbolizes power, nobleness, honor, luck and success. We are excited this year to offer our red envelopes and customized calendars in our branches, as well as support various community celebrations. Happy Lunar New Year!"
This year, U.S. Bank has created several opportunities for everyone to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, including:
- Digital Red Envelopes: Gifting a red envelope with lucky money is a hallmark of Lunar New Year. Whether family and friends are across the street or across the country, Zelle® in the U.S. Bank Mobile App makes it safe and easy to continue this tradition with those you know and trust by sending one of our exclusive Lunar New Year e-card designs. Best of all, Zelle® is free for U.S. Bank clients.
- 2024 Calendars and U.S. Bank Red Envelopes: Visit select local branches to pick up an exclusive 2024 Year of the Dragon wall calendar and red envelopes with the theme of "soaring into action." Supplies are limited and available at select locations. The calendar artwork is available as wallpaper for digital devices and can be downloaded at usbank.com/yearofthedragon (in English).
- Financial Guidance: To help everyone plan for a prosperous year, U.S. Bank offers in-person and digital services including cobrowsing (in English) live with a banker and appointment scheduling (in English).
- Community Partnerships: In addition to celebrating with clients, U.S. Bank partners with community organizations across the country and is proud to support community events, festivals and parades celebrating Lunar New Year, including:
