I’ve come across this question a few times, especially when dealing with banks, shipping services, or legal deadlines. Generally, a business day is defined as Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. That means Saturday and Sunday are usually not counted as business days. However, some industries, like retail or certain service providers, may treat Saturday as a working day for their operations, but it usually doesn’t count in financial or legal transactions.
Is saturday a business day?

Banks, government offices and most companies do not treat Saturday as a business day. Weekdays, (Mondays to Fridays), and excluding holidays, are usually called business days. But there are certain retail stores, customer care centers, and businesses that can be open on a Saturday hence it varies with the industry and place.

Saturday is not typically considered a business day for banks and most companies. However, some businesses (like retail or services) may still operate on Saturdays.
Whether Saturday is a business day depends on the industry and country. In banking and finance, Saturday is generally not considered a business day. However, many retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and service providers operate on Saturdays. For legal and financial transactions, business days usually mean Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays.
