Walmart bank hours depend on which Walmart location you visit
The bank inside Walmart does not have one closing time across the country. Each Walmart sets its own hours for the bank branch inside it, and those hours often differ from the store's main closing time. Some Walmart banks close at 5 p.m., others at 6 p.m., and some stay open until 7 p.m. or later. A few locations have no bank at all.
To find out when your specific Walmart's bank closes today or tomorrow, you need to call that location directly or check its hours online. The bank inside Walmart is usually a branch of a partner bank — most commonly Walmart MoneyCenter (which handles basic services like check cashing and bill pay) or a regional bank like Regions or Fifth Third. The hours posted for the main store do not explore to the bank.
Key Takeaways
- Walmart bank hours vary by location and are not the same as store hours, so you must check your specific store's schedule.
- The fastest way to find bank hours is to call the Walmart location directly and ask for the bank's closing time.
- Walmart's website and Google Maps both show bank hours for most locations if you search by store number or address.
- Some Walmart locations do not have a bank branch inside, so confirm yours has one before making a trip.
- Weekend and holiday hours often differ from weekday hours, so check ahead if you plan to visit Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday.
How to find your Walmart bank's closing time
Start by going to Walmart.com and entering your zip code or city. Select your store from the results. On that store's page, scroll down to "Services" and look for "Bank" or "MoneyCenter." Click on it, and you should see the bank's hours listed separately from the store hours.
If the hours are not listed online, call the store's main number and ask to speak to someone at the bank desk. They can tell you today's closing time and tomorrow's hours in under a minute. You can also use Google Maps: search "Walmart" plus your city, select your store, and scroll to "Services" — many locations show bank hours there as well.
Why Walmart bank hours are different from store hours
The bank inside Walmart is a separate business from the store itself, even though it sits in the same building. Walmart does not run the bank — a financial institution does. That institution decides when its employees work, and those hours do not always match the store's schedule. A Walmart might be open until 11 p.m., but the bank might close at 6 p.m. because the bank does not need to stay open as late.
This separation also means the bank may be closed on days when the store is open, or open on days when the store has reduced hours. For example, some Walmart banks close on Sundays or have shorter hours on holidays, even if the store itself is open.
What to do if the bank is already closed
If you arrive at Walmart and the bank is closed, you have a few options. First, check if the store has a MoneyCenter desk — this is different from a full bank branch and may have different hours. MoneyCenter can handle check cashing, bill payments, and money transfers, and sometimes stays open later than a bank branch.
If you need banking services tonight or tomorrow morning before the bank opens, consider visiting a different Walmart location nearby that may have later or earlier hours. You can also use the bank's ATM, which is usually available 24 hours even when the branch is closed. For urgent transactions, call the bank's customer service line — the number is usually posted on the ATM or on your bank statement.
Weekend and holiday hours
Walmart bank hours on Saturday and Sunday are often shorter than weekday hours. Many banks inside Walmart open later on Saturday (sometimes 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m.) and close earlier (5 or 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.). Some Walmart banks are closed on Sunday entirely, though this is less common.
On holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Independence Day, the bank is almost always closed, even if the Walmart store itself is open. Check the bank's holiday schedule on Walmart.com or call ahead if you need to do banking on or around a holiday.
Which banks operate inside Walmart
The bank you find inside Walmart depends on your region. Walmart MoneyCenter is the most common — it is Walmart's own financial service and handles check cashing, bill pay, money orders, and wire transfers. In other regions, you may find branches of Regions Bank, Fifth Third Bank, or other regional institutions. Each has its own hours.
Not every Walmart has a bank. Smaller or newer Walmart locations sometimes have only a MoneyCenter desk or no banking services at all. If you are unsure whether your store has a bank, call ahead or check online before making the trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Walmart bank open right now?
You can check by calling your Walmart store directly and asking the bank desk, or by looking up hours on Walmart.com for your location. The bank's hours are posted separately from the store's hours on the store's page under "Services."

Yes. The ATM is usually available 24 hours a day, even when the bank branch is closed. You can withdraw cash, check your balance, and perform other ATM functions anytime.
Do all Walmarts have a bank inside?

What if I need to cash a check after the bank closes?
If the bank is closed but the store is still open, ask if the MoneyCenter desk can help — some locations offer check cashing through MoneyCenter even after the bank closes. Otherwise, you will need to return during bank hours or visit a different location.
Are Walmart bank hours the same every day?
No. Most Walmart banks have different hours on weekends and holidays. Saturday hours are often shorter, and many banks are closed on Sunday or have reduced hours. Always check your specific location's schedule before visiting.
