Academy Bank at Walmart: Hours, Locations & Services

If you like crossing items off your to-do list, then banking inside Walmart can save time. No need to make separate trips to the grocery store and bank—you can handle both errands in just one stop. This quick guide explains the difference between banks in Walmart and Walmart Money Centers, the services you can use (from checking to business accounts), and how to find Walmart bank hours near you.

Are There Banks in Walmart?

Yes. Many Walmart locations include full-service bank branches RIGHT INSIDE the store. These aren’t just Walmart ATMs or cash-checking counters—we mean ACTUAL banks where you can open accounts, speak with personal bankers, and make deposits.

It’s worth noting that the specific Walmart bank name varies by location. Some stores partner with regional community banks, while others work with larger national institutions. It really depends on your region!

One of the banks you will find in Walmart is Academy Bank. We have Walmart banking centers throughout Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri. That means you can manage your money where it’s most convenient: while you shop.

Walmart Money Center vs. Bank at Walmart: What’s the Difference?

It is easy to confuse the Walmart “Money Center” with banks inside Walmart. Both handle money, but they serve different purposes.

Money Centers are service counters focused on quick transactions. This includes things like bill payments, cashing checks, and some prepaid or transfer services.

Meanwhile, banks at Walmart are full-service institutions with FDIC insurance coverage. They cover everything Money Centers do—PLUS a whole lot more. For example, you can:

• Open a checking account or savings account
• Apply for loans
• Get debit card instantly
• Manage a business bank account
• Add joint account holders
• Set up direct deposit
• Speak with personal bankers

BOTTOM LINE: While Walmart Money Centers are convenient for one-off transactions, a dedicated bank gives you more account options and personalized service—the better financial choice for managing your money in the long-term.
