Heather at the Senatobia branch is the best, and so is the rest of the staff, also the people in Oxford are great too. I love the personal service, and after going to the bank at oxford for the second time the teller remembered my name and remembered that my husband was in the hospital! I love this bank!

Well, I have an account with Woodforest and the day before yesterday, my purse was stolen as well as my bank card. I reported it stolen to my bank and they supposedly canceled the card and it couldn't be used anymore. Well, not 24 hours later, the lowly pricks who took my purse are there using my "canceled card" somehow again. I went back to the bank and told them to close the account altogether which they said they did and I sign on the website to make sure but its not cancelled and I'm overdrafted about 600 dollars now! What the heck is this? I'd rather go with chase or generations, where I know they're safer. Don't go with woodforest please.

Do not open a account this poor excuse of a bank.  Inconsistent with their policies.  Customer service is non existent.  They are rude unfriendly and have no idea what they are suppose to be doing.  I have attempted to close out an account twice.  Went to open an Account with another bank and it showed I owed this bank money after numerous phone calls my account was never closed and service charges were  charged to me because of a zero balance!  The bank did not have me sign the close account form.  Seriously an error on the banks part cost me?  This bank is only out to make money at your expense!

I don't have an account here and I would never want one here. I drove my mother there as a favor because she was sending money to her brother who is the one with the bank account there. The lady that helped us was rude and unfriendly. It made me uncomfortable to be there. Are all banks in walmart like this? I left the first convenience bank at the supercenters for this exact reason.

Do NOT set up ACH withdraws from any account with this bank.   The bank will sometimes allow, and sometimes not allow ACH drafts if there the funds are there or not.  Three times they rejected ACH drafts when the account did not have the funds, and three times they let the ACH go through and maintained a negetive account balance.   They do not have a consistant track record.

My complaint about this branch of Woodforest Bank is that they are not receiving the awards and kudos that they deserve from the upper echelon.  The staff at the Fredonia Branch are remarkable and deserving of recognition.  I could always use a different bank but I absolutely refuse.  The staff did an in-house fund raiser to help with the financial costs of my family once they found out that I had been diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer.  Who does that?  That was the first time that I had ever received money from a bank!!!  Keep up the excellent work and I will be a lifelong member.  To the bosses of this fine bank.....reward them....they deserve that and so much more!!!!!!

No hassle, great rates, excellent service, and their senior plan is bar none the best. I pay for NOTHING!!! I encourage all my family and friends to use this bank. Now I encourage you!

About a year and a half ago, I was looking to open a checking account because another bank had charged me way too much for simple things like calling in and talking to someone at their office ($10 fee). I went to 2 other banks and they refused to open an account for me because of me refusing to pay the ridiculous fees the other banks charged me.

Then I was in my local Walmart and saw a bank there with a sign "2nd Chance Checking" so I stopped in and asked a few questions about their fees and such and then successfully signed up for an account with absolutely no problem. The branch manager, Andrea, personally opened my account and was very kind and friendly.

As the months passed by the tellers at Woodforest got to know me and always were very kind and always called me by my first name when I dropped by to deposit or withdraw money. By the way almost every deposit is available IMMEDIATELY! At the other bank, even though I'm sure they knew me, it seemed like I was just a number to them, maybe because I kept a lower balance than other customers, maybe because I had no huge loans with them, who knows. Also if I made a deposit that wasn’t cash it would take 1-3 business day(s), or more, to be available to me. Not at Woodforesst! The tellers at WOODFOREST always treated me like I had a million bucks in my account.

After having an account there for a year, in good standing, they upgraded my account to a free account with FREE $500 in overdraft protection that they called "privilege pay." At the other banks they made you apply for a line of credit to get overdraft protection, which, of course, they never approved for the average person! Not at Woodforest! They upgraded my account one day I was in there, making a deposit, surprising me! Wow, again making me feel like a treasured client.

At one point in time I had an overdraft, it got paid (thank goodness) and I got charged a $34 fee. Now its worth mentioning that while Woodforest only charged me ONE overdraft fee, the other bank would have charged me about 11 FEES because at my other bank they charged overdraft fees on” pending items” too. Again, NOT AT WOODFOREST. I went in that day and corrected my account making the balance positive and making sure my “pending transactions” didn't get any overdraft fees when they cleared. I talked to the manager that day and she told me that they limit the amount of overdraft fees that someone can incure in one day. Then she told me she would REFUND the overdraft fee if I completed an online banking education class (which took about 10 minutes to do) which was well worth the $34.00 I was refunded.

Another great thing about Woodforest is their online banking. You can log in anytime and see EVERYTHING going on with your account. For example, if I just went to the store and spent $50, there it was right on the screen. If I just got gas, instead of showing $1 it showed the actual amount. This is very helpful, in case you make a mistake. If you overspent, as long as you can make it to the bank before the "pending items" change to "posted items" (about 1-3 days) you can save yourself on fees if you make a deposit and bring your account to a positive balance. My other bank hid the "pending transactions" and just told you a total of them. Like I said earlier in this review, if you make a mistake and over spend, you will be charged fees on EVERY “pending item” that could be as much as $300+. NOT WOODFORREST!

Fast forward about 6 months. I woke up and checked my account online as I always do and there was an ACH for $200 that I did not recognize. It turned out to be fraud. Now this is what impresses me the most about Woodforest National Bank, the Vice President of the entire company (not just my local bank manager or a regional manager) this was the real deal Vice President of the bank (on a NATIONAL executive level) calling me from HIS CELL PHONE! A few questions and he fixed the problem RIGHT AWAY and told me to call him ON HIS CELL PHONE if I ever needed his help again. Now you tell me of a bank where the VICE PRESIDENT personally helped you out when your account only had a balance of $112.00 and gave you his cell phone number for future help if needed! Again, ONE MORE REASON I felt like I had a million dollars in my account.

To summarize, I would highly recommend this bank to anyone who wants a bank that not only says “We care about our customers….” but they ABSOLUTLEY really 100% do care about their customers. Thank you Woodforest for your AMAZING service. It’s the little things your bank does that counts. I’ve had bank accounts with around 25-30 banks in my lifetime and NEVER got the great service from anyone like I have from you. I’m just your ordinary guy who keeps an average of $300-600 in my account with “not so good” credit.  Keep up the good work and everyone will have accounts with your bank! Thank You, from your customer for life!

by spartanburg1, Nov. 09, 2011

I switched banks because I didn't like going in and having to talk to a banking representative through plexi glass.  The associates are always friendly and I have never had to wait in line yet.  I love the extended hours as compared to other banks.  I always do online banking, but since woodforest sends me an email alert every day about my account, I have yet to set up my online account.  I like being able to deposit money and then 5 minutes later make my credit card payment because the deposit has already been credited to my checking account.  There isn't a single thing so far that I dislike about the East Side Spartanburg branch location.

Every time I go there for western union sending money, every employee is been very helpful. Only the manager there, she is terrible, with lemon face, wants to force on clients her own rules. Example: I have a western union membership card, whenever I want to send money from anywhere here in the U.S I have to present my card, they swipe it and there you go they'll retrieve all info. about me, no need to fill that form no more and I was told everywhere but first I was told by western union since I am a long time customer...Only that ignorant lady in woodforest Wal Mart Macomb wanted me to fill up the form, I know she does it on purpose. When I told her ( several times ) her employees never asked me to, she replies but I WANT to..... She is bad deal, just go and look at her lemon face.
