They already have branches inside most Wal-Marts, at least around here. I assume Wal-Mart has an ownership stake in Woodforest, but maybe they're just collecting rent on the space. We opened a checking account there a couple years ago just to have a physical place to cash checks, get things notarized, etc. We still do most of our banking with the credit union, but with Woodforest, you've got a branch in nearly every town and city. The fee for a checking account is minimal, and if you're over 50 it's free. I know the target is also lower income folks, but the convenience of all the locations is hard to beat.Nnoreply@blogger.com
