Woodforest's routing number depends on which branch or service you use
Woodforest National Bank does not have a single routing number for all customers. The number you need depends on whether you bank at a Woodforest branch inside a Walmart, at a standalone location, or through their online platform. Most Woodforest customers who receive direct deposits or send wire transfers use routing number 111000025, but some branches and services use different numbers.
The routing number matters because it tells the sending bank exactly where to direct your money. If you use the wrong number, a deposit or transfer can be delayed or sent to the wrong account. Before you give out a routing number, confirm it matches the specific Woodforest location or service you actually use.
Key Takeaways
- The most common Woodforest routing number is 111000025, used by most branches and direct deposit services.
- Some Woodforest locations and services may use different routing numbers, so you should verify the correct one for your specific branch.
- You can find your routing number on the bottom left of your checks, in your online banking portal, or by calling Woodforest customer service.
- Wire transfers, ACH payments, and direct deposits all require the correct routing number to reach your account without delay.
How to find your routing number on a check
The easiest way to find your Woodforest routing number is to look at a check from your account. On the bottom left of any check, you will see nine digits printed in a special format. The first set of three digits is your routing number. Write it down or take a photo so you have it when you need it.
If you do not have checks or prefer not to use them, this method still works if someone has sent you a check from their Woodforest account — the routing number on their check will be the same as yours.
Finding your routing number online or by phone
Log into your Woodforest online banking account and look for account details or settings. Many banks display the routing number alongside your account number in the account information section. If you cannot find it there, call Woodforest customer service at 1-888-992-3808 and have your account number ready. A representative can confirm the correct routing number for your specific account in less than a minute.
You can also visit the Woodforest website and use their routing number lookup tool if you know your branch location. Enter your city and state, and the tool will show you the routing number for that branch.
When you need your routing number
You will need your routing number whenever money is being sent to your Woodforest account from outside the bank. This includes direct deposits from your employer, government payments like tax refunds or Social Security, transfers from other banks, and ACH payments from businesses or individuals. The sending institution will ask for both your routing number and your account number to complete the transfer.
Wire transfers also require your routing number, though some wire services may ask for additional information like your bank's SWIFT code. If you are sending money out of your Woodforest account to another bank, you will need the other bank's routing number instead.
What to do if a deposit is delayed or missing
If you gave out your routing number and the money has not arrived within the expected timeframe, contact Woodforest customer service with the date the transfer was supposed to arrive and the amount. Have the sender's name and their bank information ready. Woodforest can check whether the transfer arrived at the bank and trace it if it went to the wrong account.
If you used the wrong routing number, the money may have been sent to a different Woodforest branch or rejected by the system. The sending bank can usually recall or redirect the transfer if you catch the error quickly — within hours rather than days. Call Woodforest immediately and ask them to help you locate the transfer.
Woodforest routing numbers for specific services
Most Woodforest customers use routing number 111000025 for direct deposits, ACH transfers, and standard banking. However, if you use Woodforest's online banking platform for bill pay or if your account is tied to a specific Walmart location, verify the routing number before you submit a large transfer. Some older accounts or accounts opened at specific branches may have different routing numbers on file.
If you are setting up a new direct deposit with your employer, give them 111000025 unless your Woodforest account documents or online portal show a different number. Most employers will flag a mismatch if the number does not match their records, so you will have a chance to correct it before the first deposit is processed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Woodforest routing number 111000025 the same for all branches?

Do I need a different routing number for Walmart Woodforest branches?
