Find out what it was

- 2
Open your Verizon account and compare its payment history, and the card saved for Auto Pay, with the date and amount on your statement.
- 3
Search your inbox and text messages for a Verizon payment confirmation with the same amount.
- 4
Ask who else uses this card or shares your Verizon account: a family member may have paid a Verizon bill with it.
- 5
If you changed cards or removed this one, check which card was set for Auto Pay on the date of the charge.

Not in any of your accounts? If nobody in your household made it, someone else may have used your card details. Your card issuer can stop the card, so the charges do not continue.
Why does it say “VZWRLSS*APOCC VISB”?
Card statements leave little room for a merchant name, so Verizon Wireless shows as VZWRLSS, and on some lines as VERIZONWRLSS. The letters after the asterisk point to how the payment was made: MY VZ to the My Verizon app or website, IVR (a common short form for an automated voice system) to a payment made on Verizon's payment line, BILL PAY to a bill payment and PREPAID PYMNT to a prepaid payment.
Verizon does not publish what APOCC or RTCCR mean, nor the short codes at the very end, such as VB, VE or VISB. In public card records from one US state, VZWRLSS*APOCC VISB lines arrive on the same day each month for each account, which is how an automatic payment such as Auto Pay behaves. That is what the records show, not a meaning Verizon gives.
Why you might see this charge
- An Auto Pay payment on a Verizon mobile bill, taken from the card on about the same day each month.
- A one time bill payment made in the My Verizon app or on the website.
- A bill payment made on Verizon's payment line.
- A payment on a Verizon prepaid plan.
- Auto Pay or a payment set up with this card by another person on the Verizon account, such as an Account Manager.
- Two payments close together, when a one time payment was made near the Auto Pay date and Auto Pay also ran.
Is VZWRLSS*APOCC VISB legit?
Yes. VZWRLSS is how Verizon Wireless, one of the largest US mobile networks, shows on card statements, and public card records list these lines as telecom payments made month after month. A VZWRLSS line normally means a real payment on a Verizon mobile bill.
The line does not show whose Verizon account was paid. If nobody in your household has a Verizon account, the card may have been used to pay someone else's bill. Fake texts and emails that use Verizon's name also circulate; check payments against your own Verizon account and receipts, never through a link in a message.
