Woodforest National Bank closes at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on Saturdays
Most Woodforest National Bank branches close at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturday hours end at 1:00 p.m. The bank is closed on Sundays and federal holidays. However, closing times vary by location — some branches in Walmart stores or other retail settings may have different hours, and a few locations stay open later or close earlier depending on their host store's schedule.
The fastest way to find your specific branch's closing time is to call ahead or check the branch locator on Woodforest's website. You can search by ZIP code or city, and each location shows its exact hours. If you are banking at a Woodforest branch inside a Walmart, the branch hours may align with Walmart's store hours rather than the standard bank schedule.

Why Woodforest branches inside Walmart have different hours
Woodforest operates many branches as a bank-within-a-store inside Walmart locations. These branches close when the Walmart store closes, not at the standard 5:00 p.m. bank time. Some Walmart stores are open until 10:00 p.m. or later, which means the Woodforest branch inside stays open that late. Other Walmart locations close at 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m., and the bank closes with them.
If you bank at a Woodforest branch in Walmart, check the Walmart store's hours first. The bank will close whenever the store does, regardless of standard banking hours.
What to do if you need banking after closing time
Woodforest offers 24-hour ATM access at most locations. You can withdraw cash, check your balance, transfer money between accounts, and deposit checks at the ATM outside business hours. ATM deposits are usually available immediately for withdrawal, though they may take one business day to post to your account.
For transactions that require a teller — such as opening a new account, getting a cashier's check, or speaking with a loan officer — you must visit during business hours. Online banking through Woodforest's website or mobile app lets you transfer money, pay bills, and manage your account 24/7 without visiting a branch.
Woodforest hours on holidays and special days
Woodforest closes on all federal holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The bank also closes on Christmas Eve if it falls on a weekday. On these days, ATMs remain available for withdrawals and transfers, but you cannot speak with a teller or complete transactions that require staff.
If a federal holiday falls on a Saturday, the branch is closed that day anyway as part of the regular weekend schedule. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, the branch is already closed, so there is no change to the normal schedule.
Planning your visit to Woodforest
If you need to visit a Woodforest branch before it closes, aim to arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes before closing time. This gives you enough time to complete your transaction without being rushed. Branches often stop accepting new customers 10 to 15 minutes before the posted closing time so staff can finish with existing customers and close out the day.
On Fridays and the day before a holiday, branches tend to be busier in the late afternoon. If you want to avoid a wait, visit earlier in the day or on a weekday morning. If you are banking at a Walmart location, remember that the branch closes when the store does, which may be much later than the standard 5:00 p.m. time.
