The short answer

Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why EA Billed Your Account

Unreviewed registry note: The billing descriptor EA *APEX COINS represents a digital microtransaction purchase of Electronic Arts Apex Legends In-Game Apex Coins issued by Electronic Arts Inc. Apex Legends is a popular free-to-play battle royale shooter, and Apex Coins function as the platform's premium virtual currency used to access seasonal Battle Passes and cosmetic character skins.

Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears when an active player purchases a virtual coin bundle directly through the in-game storefront on PC or connected gaming platforms. While console transactions on PlayStation or Xbox occasionally clear under Sony or Microsoft merchant descriptors, direct PC checkouts through the EA app or connected PC client display EA *APEX COINS or Electronic Arts Inc. Similar to gaming microtransactions in Activision Call of Duty or Fortnite Crew subscriptions, these digital coin purchases process instantly and do not involve physical shipping.
