The short answer
Unreviewed registry note: VZWRLSS is Verizon Wireless with the vowels squeezed out — this entry is a phone bill payment. The APOCC suffix appears on autopay one-time card payments. The ACHMA VISB association remains unconfirmed; do not assume both entries share an originator.

Quick questions
What does APOCC mean?
Unreviewed registry note: It's Verizon's internal code for the payment channel (autopay one-time card payments). Same bill either way.
Why do I see both VZWRLSS and ACHMA lines?
Unreviewed registry note: The registry has grouped these entries, but the exact ACHMA VISB identity and payment-method mapping remain unconfirmed. Ask your issuer about each transaction instead of assuming both share a biller.
Is a VZWRLSS line a purchase or a payment?
Unreviewed registry note: A payment — it's your phone bill being paid by card, not a purchase from Verizon stores or the Verizon store online.
