Woodforest closes at 5 p.m. on weekdays, 1 p.m. on Saturdays, and does not open on Sundays

Most Woodforest National Bank branches close at 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. On Saturday, branches close at 1 p.m. The bank is closed on Sundays. However, some branches inside Walmart locations operate on extended hours — a few stay open until 8 p.m. or later on weekdays, and some open on Sunday afternoons. The exact hours depend on which Woodforest location you use and which Walmart it is inside.

If you need to know today's closing time for your specific branch, call the branch directly or check your bank statement or debit card, which usually lists a customer service number. You can also visit Woodforest's website and use the branch locator tool, which shows hours for each location. Do not assume all branches keep the same schedule.

Key Takeaways

  • Standard Woodforest branches close at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on Saturdays, with no Sunday hours.
  • Branches inside Walmart stores may stay open later on weekdays and some open on Sunday afternoons, depending on the store's hours.
  • Your specific branch's hours are listed on Woodforest's website using the branch locator tool.
  • Calling your branch directly is the fastest way to confirm today's closing time if you are unsure.

Why Woodforest hours vary by location

Woodforest operates almost entirely inside Walmart stores rather than as standalone branches. Because of this, branch hours follow Walmart's operating schedule. A Walmart that opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 11 p.m. will have a Woodforest inside with those same outer limits. A Walmart that closes at 9 p.m. means the Woodforest inside closes no later than 9 p.m., though the bank may close earlier than the store.

Some Walmart locations are open 24 hours, but Woodforest branches inside them do not stay open 24 hours. The bank typically closes several hours before the store does, even in 24-hour Walmarts. This is why you cannot assume your branch's hours match another Woodforest location or the Walmart's posted hours.

How to find your branch's exact hours

Visit Woodforest's official website and use the branch locator. Enter your city or ZIP code, and the tool will show you every Woodforest location near you with its hours listed. This is the most reliable source because it updates when hours change seasonally or temporarily.

If you cannot access the website, call Woodforest's customer service line at 1-800-448-1111. A representative can tell you the hours for your specific branch. Have your ZIP code or the Walmart location name ready. You can also call the Walmart directly and ask what time the Woodforest inside closes — Walmart employees usually know this.

What happens if you need banking after hours

Woodforest offers ATM access 24 hours a day at most Walmart locations. You can withdraw cash, check your balance, and transfer money between accounts using the ATM even after the branch closes. ATM transactions process when ready or within one business day depending on the type of transfer.

For deposits, mobile check deposit is available through Woodforest's mobile app if you have a smartphone. You can photograph a check and submit it through the app without visiting a branch. The bank typically posts mobile deposits within one business day. If you need to speak to someone after hours, Woodforest's phone line operates during extended hours, though not 24/7.

Holiday and seasonal hour changes

Woodforest closes on federal holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some branches may also close on additional holidays depending on the Walmart's schedule. Hours may also shift during holiday shopping seasons — some Walmart locations extend hours in November and December, which means the Woodforest inside may stay open later than usual.

If you are planning a banking visit around a holiday or during a major shopping season, check the branch locator again a few days before you go. Hours posted online are usually current, but calling ahead takes only a minute and removes doubt.

Differences between Woodforest and other banks

Woodforest's hours are shorter than many national banks because it operates only inside Walmart. Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have standalone branches that often stay open until 6 p.m. on weekdays and some open on Sunday. Credit unions vary widely but many stay open until 5:30 p.m. or 6 p.m. on weekdays. If you need evening or weekend banking regularly, you may want to compare hours before choosing a bank.

The trade-off is convenience of location — Woodforest is inside a store you may already visit, which can save a separate trip. But if you need to bank outside standard hours, ATM access and mobile check deposit are your main options with Woodforest.
