Woodforest branches typically open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. on weekdays, with shorter Saturday hours and no Sunday service

Woodforest National Bank operates most branches Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. central time. Saturday hours are usually 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and branches are closed on Sundays. However, hours vary by location — some branches open as early as 8 a.m. or stay open until 6 p.m., and a small number of locations have different schedules entirely.

The branch you plan to visit may not follow the standard schedule. Woodforest operates inside Walmart stores in most cases, and those locations sometimes have extended hours that differ from standalone bank branches. Holiday schedules also shift — branches close on federal holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day, though the Walmart itself may remain open.

The fastest way to confirm your specific branch's hours is to call the location directly or check the branch locator on Woodforest's website, where you can enter your zip code and see hours for each nearby branch.

How to find your branch's exact hours

Go to Woodforest's website and use the branch locator tool. Enter your zip code or city name, and the tool displays all nearby branches with their current hours, phone numbers, and addresses. This is the most reliable method because it pulls live data and accounts for any location-specific variations.

If you prefer to call, dial the main customer service number on the back of your Woodforest debit card or look up the phone number for your specific branch online. A representative can confirm hours when ready and tell you whether the branch is open today or if it has holiday closures coming up.

Why hours differ between locations

Woodforest operates in two main formats: standalone branches and in-store locations inside Walmart. In-store branches follow Walmart's operating hours, which means they may open earlier or stay open later than traditional bank branches. Some Walmart locations are open 24 hours, but Woodforest's banking services inside those stores still close at set times — usually the standard 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. window.

Staffing levels and local demand also affect hours. High-traffic branches in urban areas sometimes stay open later on weekdays or open earlier in the morning. Rural or lower-traffic locations may keep shorter hours. The only way to know for certain is to check your specific branch.

What to do if your branch is closed

If you need banking services outside normal hours, Woodforest offers several alternatives. ATMs are available 24/7 at most Woodforest locations and at many Walmart stores, so you can withdraw cash, deposit checks, or check your balance any time. Mobile banking through the Woodforest app lets you transfer money, pay bills, and monitor your account from your phone without visiting a branch.

For transactions that require speaking to someone — like opening a new account, explore for a loan, or resolving a dispute — you will need to visit during business hours or call customer service. Woodforest's phone line operates during extended hours compared to branches, so calling may be faster than waiting for the branch to reopen.

Holiday closures and special schedules

Woodforest branches close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some branches may also close on Good Friday or other regional holidays. If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the branch is typically closed the following Monday.

During the holiday season, some branches adjust their hours even on days they remain open. It is worth calling ahead if you plan to visit near a major holiday, because hours may be shorter than usual and lines may be longer.

Using Woodforest services without visiting a branch

Many banking tasks no longer require a physical visit. You can deposit checks using mobile deposit through the Woodforest app — photograph the front and back of the check, and the funds appear in your account within one to two business days. You can transfer money between your own accounts or to other people using the app or online banking.

Bill payments, balance inquiries, and account management all happen through the app or website. If you need cash, any Woodforest ATM or any ATM in the Allpoint network (which includes thousands of locations nationwide) will let you withdraw without fees. For more complex needs, customer service representatives are available by phone during extended hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Woodforest branches inside Walmart open the same hours as the Walmart store?

No. Woodforest banking services close at set times even when the Walmart is still open. Most in-store branches close at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on Saturday, regardless of Walmart's hours. Check your specific location to confirm, because some branches have different schedules.

Can I do my banking at any Woodforest branch, or only my home branch?

You can visit any Woodforest branch for most transactions. Deposits, withdrawals, and account inquiries work at any location. Some services like loan applications or account changes may require your home branch, so call ahead if you need something specific.

What happens if I need to deposit a check after the branch closes?

Use mobile deposit through the Woodforest app to photograph and submit the check anytime. The funds typically appear in your account within one to two business days. If you need the money when ready, deposit at an ATM if your branch has one, though ATM deposits may take longer to process.

Do Woodforest branches have different hours on Saturdays?

Yes. Most branches are open Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., which is shorter than weekday hours. Some locations may have different Saturday schedules, so check your branch's specific hours online or by phone.

Is there a Woodforest customer service line I can call outside of branch hours?

Yes. The number is on the back of your Woodforest debit card. Customer service hours extend beyond branch hours, though they do not operate 24/7. Call to confirm hours or to handle issues that do not require a branch visit.
