America was in a terrible depression when FDR took office and banks were failing. People were rushing banks, trying to get their money out, which of course, they did not have, since they had loaned it out. Panic set it and closing the banks gave people time to think and banks time to make corrections. All the banks were audited and the sound ones were allowed to re-open in about two weeks.

What is the bank holidays in the great depression?
By closing all the banks, FDR stopped the run on those financial institutions and also gave some comfort to the people who were worried about their bank accounts. After announcing he would close the banks, he told the public that federal examiners would check each and every bank closed. Those that were financially strong would be allowed to reopen. Those that were in bad shape would be closed, and those that needed help would be provided aid from the federal government. It boosted the confidence of the public that the government was doing something to protect their money.
