Woodforest National Bank closes at different times depending on your location and how you bank
Woodforest National Bank does not have a single closing time across all branches. Most in-store branches close between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays, but some locations stay open until 7 p.m., and hours vary significantly on weekends. The fastest way to find your specific branch's closing time is to call the location directly or check the hours on Woodforest's website by entering your zip code.
If you bank through Woodforest at a Walmart location—which is common, since Woodforest operates inside many Walmart stores—your branch closes when that Walmart closes. Walmart hours vary by store, so a Woodforest inside one Walmart may close at 10 p.m. while another closes at 11 p.m. or midnight. ATMs at Woodforest branches are available 24 hours, so you can withdraw cash or check your balance outside of branch hours.
Key Takeaways

- Woodforest branches inside Walmart stores close when that Walmart closes, which can be as late as midnight depending on the location.
- You can find your branch's exact hours by visiting Woodforest's website, entering your zip code, or calling the branch directly.
- Woodforest ATMs operate 24 hours a day, so you can access your money outside of branch hours for withdrawals and balance checks.
How to find your branch's closing time online
Go to Woodforest's website and use the branch locator tool. Enter your zip code or city name, and the results will show each nearby branch with its full hours of operation. The listing will tell you whether the branch is inside a Walmart and, if so, which Walmart location it is.
If you see a branch is inside a Walmart, you can also check that specific Walmart's hours on Walmart's website or by calling the store directly. This is especially useful if you need to visit on a weekend or evening, since Walmart hours often differ from standard bank hours.
Calling your branch for same-day confirmation
The most reliable way to confirm closing time before you leave home is to call your branch directly. Woodforest's main customer service line can transfer you to your local branch, or you can search online for the branch phone number and call it yourself. A staff member can tell you not only when they close today but also whether they have a teller available right now if you need to conduct a transaction.
Calling ahead is especially helpful if you need to do something that requires a teller—like depositing a check, opening an account, or getting a cashier's check—because some branches may have limited teller availability near closing time.
Weekend and holiday hours
Most Woodforest branches have shorter hours on Saturday and Sunday than they do on weekdays. Many close by 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. on Saturday and are closed entirely on Sunday, though this varies by location. Some branches inside Walmart stores may have extended weekend hours if the Walmart is open later.
On federal holidays, Woodforest branches are typically closed, even if the Walmart they are inside remains open. Check the branch locator or call ahead if you need to bank on or around a holiday.
Using ATMs and mobile banking outside branch hours
You do not need to visit a branch during business hours for many common tasks. Woodforest ATMs are available 24 hours a day for cash withdrawals, deposits (at ATMs that accept them), and balance inquiries. You can also use Woodforest's mobile app or online banking to transfer money, pay bills, and check your account from anywhere at any time.
If you need to speak with someone after hours, Woodforest's customer service phone line operates beyond branch hours. Check your account statement or the back of your debit card for the customer service number, which is usually available seven days a week.
What to do if your branch is closed when you need it
If you arrive at your branch and it is closed, you have several options. Use the ATM if you only need cash or a deposit. Call Woodforest's customer service line if you have a question about your account or need help with a transaction. If you need to speak with a teller and cannot wait until the branch reopens, ask whether any other nearby Woodforest branches have extended hours that day.
For urgent issues like a lost or stolen debit card, Woodforest's customer service line is staffed outside of branch hours and can freeze your card when ready over the phone.
