Woodforest Bank opens at 9 a.m. on weekdays, but closing time and weekend hours vary by location
Woodforest National Bank does not have a single opening time across all branches. Most locations open at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, but some branches inside Walmart stores open earlier — as early as 8 a.m. — and some close as early as 5 p.m. while others stay open until 6 or 7 p.m. Weekend hours are inconsistent: some branches are open Saturday mornings, some are closed Saturday entirely, and very few are open on Sunday.
The only way to know your specific branch's hours is to look them up by location. A branch inside a Walmart in one city may have completely different hours than a Woodforest branch in another Walmart across town, because Woodforest coordinates its hours with the Walmart store's own schedule.
Key Takeaways
- Most Woodforest branches open at 9 a.m. on weekdays, but branches inside Walmart stores may open as early as 8 a.m.
- Closing times range from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. depending on the branch and the Walmart location's hours.
- Saturday and Sunday hours vary widely — some branches are open Saturday morning, others are closed both days.
- The fastest way to confirm your branch's hours is to call the branch directly or check the Woodforest website location finder.
How to find your branch's exact hours
Go to the Woodforest National Bank website and use their branch locator tool. Enter your city, state, or ZIP code. The results will show each branch near you with its full hours for Monday through Sunday. If your branch is inside a Walmart, the hours listed will reflect both the bank's schedule and the Walmart's operating hours.
If you do not have internet access or want to confirm before you go, call the branch directly. The phone number appears in the locator results. A staff member can tell you whether the branch is open right now and what time it closes today.
Why Woodforest hours are different at different locations
Most Woodforest branches operate inside Walmart stores, not as standalone bank buildings. This means the branch's hours depend on when that particular Walmart is open. A Walmart that closes at 10 p.m. will have a Woodforest branch that closes by 10 p.m., while a Walmart that closes at 9 p.m. will have an earlier closing time for the bank.
Some Walmarts are open 24 hours, but Woodforest branches inside them are not — the bank closes at a set time even if the store stays open. A few Woodforest branches operate as standalone locations with their own hours, separate from any Walmart, but these are less common.
What to do if your branch is closed
If you need to deposit a check or withdraw cash and your branch is closed, look for a Woodforest ATM. Many Walmart locations have ATMs available 24 hours, even when the branch itself is closed. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks (at ATMs that support mobile deposit), and check your balance.
For transactions that require speaking to a staff member — such as opening a new account, disputing a charge, or getting a cashier's check — you will need to visit during business hours or call the branch. Some Woodforest branches offer phone banking for routine questions, but the branch locator or your account statement will tell you whether yours does.
Planning ahead for holiday closures
Woodforest branches close on federal holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some branches may also close on the day after Thanksgiving. If you need to handle banking on or around a holiday, check the Woodforest website or call ahead to confirm whether your branch will be open.
During holiday weeks, some branches may have reduced hours even on days they normally operate. If you are planning a transaction for a holiday week, do not assume your branch's regular schedule applies.
Using Woodforest services outside branch hours
You can transfer money, pay bills, and check your balance through Woodforest's mobile app or online banking portal at any time, 24 hours a day. You can also use any Woodforest ATM to withdraw cash or deposit checks (if your ATM supports mobile deposit). These services do not require the branch to be open.
If you need to speak to someone outside business hours, Woodforest offers phone support during extended hours on some days. The phone number for customer service appears on your debit card and on the Woodforest website. Call to ask whether your issue can be handled over the phone or whether you need to visit the branch in person.
