Common causes for VERIZON charges

- Monthly wireless plan payment or taxes/fees for your Verizon Wireless account.
- One-time payment you made toward your mobile bill.
- Device financing or upgrade fees charged at purchase or on your next bill.
- Accessories purchased at a Verizon store or online.
- Pre-authorization hold placed when paying or updating a saved card.
- Auto Pay enrollment applying your monthly discount and triggering a scheduled charge.
Decoding VERIZON charge tags
Because Verizon uses multiple brands and payment flows, charges can appear under slightly different descriptors:
- VZWRLSS is an abbreviation for Verizon Wireless (mobile service and device billing).
- BILL PAY is a regular bill payment; ONETIMEPAY is a single, manual payment.
- APOCC VISN/VISE is a backend billing/authorization descriptor sometimes seen on Verizon Wireless charges
- AUTOPAY is a scheduled payment set up in your account settings (can include a monthly discount on eligible plans)
- CHECKCARD / POS PURCHASE / PRE-AUTH refer to how your bank processed the transaction (debit, in-person point-of-sale, or a temporary authorization hold)
