Woodforest National Bank is closed on Sundays

Woodforest National Bank does not operate on Sundays. All branches are closed, and you cannot visit a physical location or speak to a teller on that day. If you need to handle banking on Sunday, you will need to use their online banking platform, mobile app, or ATM.

Woodforest operates Monday through Saturday at most locations. Standard branch hours are typically 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, though hours vary by branch. Some Woodforest branches operate inside Walmart locations and may have extended hours that align with store hours, but even those close on Sunday.

If you have an urgent banking need on Sunday, your options are limited to services that do not require a teller or branch staff. ATM withdrawals, deposits (at machines that accept them), balance checks, and transfers between your own accounts all work 24/7 through the ATM network or online banking.

Key Takeaways

  • Woodforest National Bank branches close on Sundays; no teller services or in-person transactions are available that day.
  • Most branches operate Monday through Saturday, with weekday hours typically 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday hours 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., though hours vary by location.
  • You can use ATMs, online banking, and the mobile app on Sunday to check balances, transfer money between your accounts, and withdraw cash.
  • Branches inside Walmart locations may have different hours but are still closed on Sundays.

What you can do on Sunday without a branch

Woodforest's online banking platform and mobile app remain active 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can log in on Sunday to check your account balance, review recent transactions, set up bill payments, and transfer money between accounts you own at Woodforest. Bill payments scheduled through online banking typically process on the next business day, so a payment set up Sunday morning will usually leave your account Monday.

ATMs connected to the Woodforest network work around the clock. You can withdraw cash, check your balance, and deposit checks at ATMs on Sunday. Some ATMs accept cash deposits as well, though this varies by machine. If you use an out-of-network ATM, Woodforest may charge a fee, and the other bank's ATM operator may charge a fee as well.

If you need to move money to another bank or person, you can initiate an ACH transfer or wire transfer through online banking on Sunday. ACH transfers typically take one to three business days to complete, so a transfer started Sunday will usually arrive by Wednesday. Wire transfers process faster but may not go through until Monday morning if you send them after business hours on Sunday.

What requires a branch visit and cannot wait until Monday

Some banking tasks require a teller or branch staff and cannot be done online or at an ATM. If you need to deposit a large amount of cash, deposit a check that your ATM will not accept, order a cashier's check, dispute a transaction, or report a lost or stolen card, you will need to visit a branch during business hours.

If your card is lost or stolen on Sunday, call Woodforest's customer service line immediately to report it. They can freeze your account and issue a replacement card, which will arrive by mail in five to ten business days. In the meantime, you can still access your money through online banking and ATMs, but you cannot use the physical card.

For urgent issues that cannot wait until Monday, Woodforest's customer service phone line operates seven days a week. You can reach them to report fraud, ask about account holds, or get help with online banking problems. The phone number is on the back of your debit card and on Woodforest's website.

How to find your branch's exact hours

Woodforest's website has a branch locator tool where you can enter your zip code and see all nearby branches, their addresses, phone numbers, and hours. Hours can vary significantly between branches, especially those inside Walmart stores, so checking the locator is the most reliable way to confirm when your specific branch opens and closes.

You can also call your branch directly to confirm Sunday closure and ask about Monday hours. If you plan to visit on Saturday, confirm that the branch will be open, since some locations have limited Saturday hours or may be closed for inventory or other reasons.

Alternatives if you need banking services on Sunday

If Woodforest's Sunday closure is a regular problem for you, consider whether another bank might better fit your schedule. Many online banks and credit unions offer extended hours or seven-day-a-week customer service. Some traditional banks operate on Sunday, though this is less common than it once was.

If you bank with Woodforest because it is inside a Walmart near you, remember that the Walmart location's hours do not determine the bank's hours. The bank closes on Sunday even if Walmart is open. However, you can still use Walmart's money services on Sunday—they offer money orders, bill payments, and wire transfers—though these are separate from your Woodforest account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I deposit a check at a Woodforest ATM on Sunday?

Some Woodforest ATMs accept check deposits, but not all machines have this feature. If your ATM has a deposit slot, you can deposit a check on Sunday and it will be processed when the branch reopens Monday. Check your ATM's screen or call your branch to confirm whether your nearest machine accepts deposits.

What if I need cash on Sunday and the ATM is out of service?

If your Woodforest ATM is broken or out of cash, you can use any ATM in the Allpoint network or other networks that Woodforest participates in. You may be charged a fee by both Woodforest and the other bank's ATM operator. Alternatively, you can withdraw cash at a Walmart customer service desk using your Woodforest debit card, usually without a fee.

Do Woodforest branches inside Walmart stay open later on weekdays?

Woodforest branches inside Walmart may have extended hours compared to standalone branches, but they still close on Sunday. Weekday hours at Walmart locations typically run 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. or later, depending on the Walmart's hours. Call your specific branch to confirm, as hours vary by location.

Can I set up a payment on Sunday that goes out the same day?

No. Any payment you set up on Sunday through online banking will process on Monday at the earliest. If you need a payment to leave your account on Sunday itself, you would need to have set it up before Sunday. For urgent same-day payments, you may need to use a wire transfer, which also cannot process until Monday morning.

Is Woodforest customer service available on Sunday?

Yes. Woodforest's customer service phone line operates seven days a week, including Sunday. You can call to report fraud, ask about your account, or get help with online banking. The number is on the back of your debit card and on their website.
