William--

A Bank Holiday is defined as the temporary closing of a bank in the event that its obligations exceed its resources.

FDR declared a National Bank Holiday in March, 1933 (approx. 10 days?) First act of his administration, declared the day after inauguration.

To answer your question re: back office banking operations during a bank holiday start with the The Banking Act of 1935...<ggg>

(I have no idea if settlement operations/processing would be allowed to continue.)
