Woodforest Bank is closed on Sundays

Woodforest National Bank does not open on Sundays. Their standard hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., though some locations may vary slightly. If you need to handle banking on a Sunday, you'll need to use their ATM, online banking, or mobile app — all available 24/7 — or wait until Monday morning.

The bank operates about 700 branches, many of them inside Walmart stores. Even Walmart-based branches follow the same Sunday closure, so location doesn't change the answer. If your local branch has different hours, you can confirm by calling ahead or checking their website with your zip code.

Key Takeaways

  • Woodforest branches close on Sundays; the earliest you can visit a physical location is Monday at 9 a.m.
  • Woodforest ATMs work around the clock, so you can withdraw cash or check your balance any day, any time.
  • Online banking and the Woodforest mobile app let you transfer money, pay bills, and deposit checks on Sunday without visiting a branch.
  • Saturday hours end at 1 p.m., so if you need in-person service on a weekend, Saturday morning is your only option.

What you can do on Sunday without a branch

Woodforest's ATM network runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can withdraw cash, deposit cash or checks (at ATMs that accept deposits), transfer money between your own accounts, and check your balance. ATM transactions usually post when ready or within one business day, depending on the type of transaction.

Online banking through Woodforest's website and their mobile app are also available around the clock. On Sunday you can pay bills, transfer funds between accounts, set up automatic payments, deposit checks by photo (mobile deposit), and review your transaction history. These actions typically process on the next business day — so a Sunday transfer won't move money until Monday.

When you need to speak to someone on Sunday

Woodforest's customer service phone line is available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time, and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central Time. There is no Sunday phone support. If you have an urgent issue on Sunday — a fraud dispute, a frozen account, or a transaction problem — you may need to wait until Monday morning or use the ATM to handle what you can.

Some issues, like reporting a lost or stolen debit card, may have an emergency line available outside normal hours. Check the back of your card or your account statements for an emergency number, as these are sometimes different from the main customer service line.

How to plan ahead if you bank on Sunday

If you regularly need to handle banking on Sundays, set up automatic payments and transfers through online banking so you don't have to do them manually. Mobile deposit (taking a photo of a check through the app) lets you deposit checks without an ATM or branch visit. Keep your debit card with you so you can use any Woodforest ATM if you need cash.

If you know you'll need cash on Sunday, withdraw it on Saturday afternoon before the branch closes at 1 p.m., or use an ATM on Saturday evening. This removes the risk of an ATM being out of service or running low on cash when you need it most.

Woodforest locations inside Walmart stores

Many Woodforest branches operate inside Walmart locations, and their banking hours are separate from Walmart's store hours. A Walmart that's open 24 hours will still have a Woodforest branch that closes on Sunday and follows the standard Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule. The branch entrance may be inside the store, but the banking hours don't change.

If you're unsure whether your nearest Woodforest is in a Walmart or a standalone location, use the branch locator on Woodforest's website or call ahead. Either way, Sunday closure applies to all branches.

What to do if you have an urgent banking need on Sunday

If you face a genuine emergency — your account is compromised, you need to dispute a transaction, or you're locked out of your account — start by checking your debit card or account statements for an emergency fraud line. Many banks maintain a separate 24-hour number for fraud and security issues, even when regular customer service is closed.

If you can't reach anyone and the issue involves a transaction you didn't make, document what happened (take screenshots, note the time and amount) and plan to call customer service first thing Monday morning. For lost or stolen cards, most banks let you freeze or cancel the card through the app or ATM, which stops further unauthorized use until you can speak to someone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I deposit a check at a Woodforest ATM on Sunday?

Yes, if the ATM accepts check deposits. Not all Woodforest ATMs have deposit capability, so check your nearest location first. You can also use mobile deposit through the app to photograph and deposit a check anytime, including Sunday. The check will process on the next business day.

What if I need to open a new account on Sunday?

You cannot open a new account on Sunday. You'll need to visit a branch during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) or contact customer service during those same hours. Some banks offer online account opening, but you should confirm with Woodforest whether that option is available.

Are Woodforest ATMs inside Walmart available on Sunday?

Yes. Woodforest ATMs operate 24/7, even though the branch itself is closed. You can use any Woodforest ATM inside or outside a Walmart on Sunday to withdraw cash, deposit checks, or transfer money.

Can I call Woodforest customer service on Sunday?

No. Customer service is available Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time, and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central Time. If you have an urgent issue, look for an emergency fraud number on your debit card or account statements.
