Woodforest Bank hours vary by location, but most branches open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. on weekdays
Woodforest National Bank operates inside Walmart stores across the United States. The branch hours depend on which Walmart location you visit — they are not set by the bank alone. Most Woodforest branches inside Walmart open when the store opens, typically 9 a.m., and close when the bank counter closes, usually 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday hours are shorter and vary widely by location.
Because Woodforest branches sit inside Walmart, you cannot assume the bank stays open as long as the store does. The bank counter closes earlier than the store itself. If you need to deposit a check or withdraw cash, arriving before 4:30 p.m. on a weekday gives you a buffer before the counter closes.
The only way to know the exact hours for your nearest branch is to call the Walmart location directly or check Woodforest's branch locator on their website. Hours change by season and by individual store, so a branch near you may have different hours than one across town.

How to find your nearest Woodforest branch and its hours
Woodforest's website has a branch locator tool where you enter your city or ZIP code and see all nearby locations. The locator shows the address, phone number, and hours for each branch. This is the fastest way to get accurate information for the specific Walmart you plan to visit.
You can also call the Walmart directly and ask for the Woodforest bank counter hours. The Walmart customer service desk can tell you when the bank opens and closes. This is useful if you want to confirm hours before making a trip, especially on weekends when hours often differ from weekday schedules.
Weekday versus weekend hours
Woodforest branches typically operate longer hours on weekdays than on weekends. Most open at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and close at 5 p.m., though some locations may open at 10 a.m. or close at 6 p.m. depending on the Walmart's staffing and traffic patterns.
Saturday hours are usually shorter — many branches open at 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. and close by 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. Sunday hours are even more limited; some branches open at 11 a.m. and close by 2 p.m., while others do not open on Sunday at all. If you need to bank on the weekend, call ahead to confirm the branch is open.
What to do if you cannot visit during branch hours
Woodforest customers can use ATMs at any Walmart location 24 hours a day to withdraw cash or check their balance. ATMs are available even when the bank counter is closed. If you need to deposit a check outside of branch hours, you can use mobile deposit through the Woodforest mobile app if your account supports it — this lets you photograph the check and submit it without visiting a branch.
Online banking through Woodforest's website also lets you transfer money, pay bills, and manage your account without visiting a branch. For questions or problems that require speaking to someone, you can call Woodforest customer service during their phone hours, which may extend beyond branch hours.
Holiday hours and closures
Woodforest branches close on major federal holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some branches may also close on other holidays depending on the Walmart's schedule. If you need to bank on or near a holiday, check the branch locator or call ahead to confirm the branch will be open.
During the holiday season, some Woodforest branches may adjust their hours to match increased Walmart traffic. Hours may open earlier or close later than usual. If you plan to bank during November or December, confirm the specific hours for your location.
