The short answer
VZWRLSS*APOCC VISB looks like a Verizon Wireless bill payment, but the Verizon help pages reviewed here do not document this exact text or explain APOCC or VISB. Open My Verizon payment history for every account you or someone in your household manages and match the amount and date against each stored card and bank account. A familiar-looking abbreviation is a lead, not proof of which account was paid.
What do the parts of VZWRLSS*APOCC VISB mean?
- VZWRLSS * APOCC VISB
- Before the asterisk, "VZWRLSS" usually names the platform or parent company. After it, "APOCC VISB" usually names the product, store or order. How descriptors work →
Match the payment method, not just the plan price
Verizon lets a mobile account store up to 2 checking accounts and up to 6 credit, debit or ATM cards, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. When a VZWRLSS line appears, check which stored method on which account was charged. Two accounts with similar monthly totals can both look like a match, so compare the exact amount and date.
Verizon processes a scheduled payment on its scheduled date and debits or charges a one-time payment within 24 hours of submission. A one-time payment made in My Verizon, at a Verizon store or by dialing #PMT carries no Verizon fee, but Verizon lists a $10 Agent Assistance Fee when you pay by calling Customer Service. Verizon also allows paying up to $500 over the balance due in advance, so a card payment can exceed the current bill.

When a card you removed or shared is still charged
One Verizon bill can have several payers. Verizon says up to 3 Account Managers can each pay a portion of the bill, while Auto Pay draws the whole bill from one payment source. If a relative or former partner manages a line, their payment could use a card you once shared with them.
Verizon also notes that customers who accepted the Backup Payment Agreement at order time agreed to let Verizon store a credit or debit card for use if the account enters Final Bill Default, and that this stored card cannot be viewed or deleted. Ask Verizon whether that applies before assuming a removed card was billed in error.
- Remove a card you no longer want stored In My Verizon payment methods, select the arrow next to the method, choose Remove, then Save. Verizon says the change can take up to 15 minutes to appear.
Does VISB mean the payment was made with a Visa card?
The Verizon pages reviewed here do not define VISB or APOCC. Verizon accepts Visa among several card brands, but the letters alone do not show which card or channel was used.

If you did not authorize the payment
If no Verizon account you manage shows the payment, contact your card issuer or bank promptly through its official app or the number on your card. Keep the statement entry and notes of every call. The CFPB advises reporting suspicious transactions quickly and keeping copies of letters and dates of follow-up calls. This page cannot decide authorization or liability for your account.

Replaced the homepage source and an off-topic CFPB link with Verizon's bill-payment and Auto Pay FAQs plus a specific CFPB reporting page. Removed the unsupported claim that APOCC means autopay one-time card payments, the boilerplate fraudRisk, the generic subscription cancelSteps, the invented 48 to 72 hour refund window and repeated filler text. Kept 800-922-0204 because Verizon's FAQ lists it. Identity of VZWRLSS, APOCC and VISB remains unconfirmed.
- Verizon documents stored payment methods, payment timing, fees and advance payments for mobile accounts; the descriptor text itself is not documented.
