Woodforest Bank closes at different times depending on which location you visit
Woodforest National Bank operates inside Walmart stores across the United States, and each branch keeps the same hours as its host Walmart. Most Woodforest locations close between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., but some stay open later or close earlier depending on the Walmart's schedule. The only way to know when your specific branch closes today is to check that Walmart's hours directly.
Woodforest does not publish a separate branch locator with banking hours. Instead, you need to find the Walmart location first, then assume the bank closes when that store does. This matters because Walmart hours vary widely by location — a Walmart Supercenter in a city may stay open until 11 p.m. or midnight, while a smaller Walmart in a rural area might close at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m.

- Most Woodforest locations close between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., but hours vary by location and change seasonally.

How to find your Woodforest location's closing time
Go to Walmart.com and use the store locator to search for the Walmart nearest you. Enter your city, zip code, or address. The store listing will show the full hours for that location — Woodforest closes when the Walmart does. You can also call the Walmart directly and ask what time the bank closes, since the bank operates inside the store.
If you are already at a Walmart, ask a cashier or customer service desk associate what time the Woodforest branch closes today. They will know the exact time because it matches the store's closing time. Some Walmarts post hours on the door or window of the bank area itself.
Why Woodforest hours change by location
Woodforest National Bank does not set its own hours — it operates as a service inside Walmart, so it must follow Walmart's schedule. Walmart stores in different regions and formats operate on different schedules. A Walmart Supercenter in an urban area may stay open 24 hours or until midnight, while a Walmart in a smaller town might close at 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. Some locations close earlier on Sundays or have reduced weekend hours.
Seasonal changes also affect hours. Many Walmarts extend their hours during the holiday shopping season (November and December) and may reduce hours during slower periods. If you visit the same Walmart regularly, check the hours periodically to catch any changes.
