Check Woodforest's hours on their website or by phone
Woodforest National Bank branches keep different hours depending on location. The fastest way to learn about your branch is open today is to visit woodforest.com, click "Locations," enter your zip code or city, and select your branch. The page will show today's hours and whether the branch is currently open.
If you don't have internet access, call your branch directly. You can find the phone number on the Woodforest website or by calling their main line at 1-800-925-3600. A staff member can tell you today's hours and whether anyone is available right now.
Most Woodforest branches inside Walmart stores follow Walmart's hours, which often extend into the evening or stay open on Sundays. Standalone Woodforest branches typically close earlier and may have different weekend schedules. Checking the specific location matters because two branches in the same city can have very different operating times.

Woodforest branches inside Walmart versus standalone locations
Woodforest operates branches in two main settings: inside Walmart stores and as standalone bank locations. Walmart-based branches typically operate during Walmart's hours, which vary by store but often run from early morning until 10 or 11 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, with Sunday hours starting at 10 a.m. or noon. This means a Walmart-based branch may be open when a standalone branch has already closed for the day.
Standalone Woodforest branches follow traditional banking hours, usually opening at 9 a.m. and closing between 4 and 6 p.m. on weekdays. Saturday hours are often shorter—typically 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.—and many standalone branches have limited or no Sunday service. If you use a Walmart-based branch, you have more flexibility for evening and weekend banking, but you're also limited to locations inside Walmart stores.
The location finder on woodforest.com clearly labels which branches are inside Walmart and which are standalone, so you can see both the hours and the setting before you go.
What to do if your branch is closed
If your Woodforest branch is closed today, you have several options depending on what you need to do. You can use any Woodforest ATM to withdraw cash, check your balance, or deposit checks without visiting a branch. Woodforest ATMs are located inside Walmart stores nationwide and at some other retail locations, so there's often one nearby even when the branch itself is closed.
For transactions that require a teller—such as opening a new account, getting a cashier's check, or resolving account issues—you can visit a different Woodforest branch if one is open nearby. Use the location finder on woodforest.com to see other branches and their hours. You can also call 1-800-925-3600 to handle some account questions by phone without visiting in person, which often saves time compared to waiting for your home branch to reopen.
Holiday and seasonal closures
Woodforest branches close on federal holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some branches may also close on other holidays depending on state or local observance. Hours may be reduced the day before or after a holiday, so a branch that normally opens at 9 a.m. might not open until 10 a.m. on the day after Thanksgiving, for example.
If today is a holiday or the day after one, your branch may be closed even if it normally operates. Check the Woodforest website or call ahead to confirm, especially if you're planning a trip specifically to handle banking business. The location page on woodforest.com will note holiday closures when they apply.
Using Woodforest services without visiting a branch
You don't need to visit a branch for many common tasks. Woodforest's mobile app and website let you check balances, transfer money between accounts, pay bills, and deposit checks by photograph. You can also set up direct deposit, view transaction history, manage account settings, and freeze or unfreeze your debit card online without speaking to anyone.
For customer service questions, call 1-800-925-3600 during their phone hours. Representatives can help with account issues, fraud concerns, card replacement, and general questions without you needing to be in a branch. This is often faster than waiting for a branch to open, especially if you're calling about something that doesn't require a teller's help.
