The fastest way to pay Fios online is through My Verizon, the account portal where you can set up a one-time payment or enroll in automatic payments
You can pay your Fios bill online in minutes using My Verizon without calling customer service or visiting a store. The process works the same whether you have Fios internet, TV, phone, or a combination of services. You'll need your account number (found on your bill) and a payment method — debit card, credit card, or bank account.
Most people choose automatic payments so the bill is paid on the same day each month without having to remember. One-time payments are useful if you want to pay early, catch up on a past-due balance, or make an extra payment toward your account.

Setting up automatic payments in My Verizon
Go to verizon.com/myverizon and sign in with your Verizon username and password. If you don't have a My Verizon account yet, you'll create one using your account number and billing phone number or email address.
Once logged in, select "Billing" from the menu, then look for "Payment methods" or "Autopay settings." Choose "Set up automatic payments" and enter your payment method. You can use a debit card, credit card, or bank account (routing number and account number). Select the date you want the payment to come out each month — most people choose their due date or a few days after payday.
After you confirm, automatic payments begin the following month. You'll receive an email confirmation and can view your autopay status anytime in the same section. If you need to change the payment date or payment method later, you can update it without canceling and restarting.
Making a one-time payment online
Sign into My Verizon and go to "Billing," then select "Make a payment" or "Pay now." Enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay your full bill, a partial amount, or more than the minimum due.
Choose your payment method and review the details before confirming. The payment processes immediately if submitted before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on your due date. If you pay after that time, it may post the next business day. You'll see a confirmation number on screen and receive an email receipt.
One-time payments don't affect automatic payments if you have them set up. Both will continue on their regular schedule unless you change your settings.
What payment methods Verizon accepts online
Debit cards and credit cards are the fastest option. Verizon accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. The payment posts within one business day.
Bank account payments (ACH transfers) take two to three business days to post but have no processing fee. You'll need your routing number and account number, which you can find on a check or by logging into your bank's website.
Verizon bill credits can be applied to your account if you have promotional credits or account credits from a previous dispute or service issue. These show as an option during payment if you have a balance available.
Verizon does not charge a fee for paying online through My Verizon, regardless of which payment method you choose. Some third-party payment processors may charge a fee if you use their service, so stick with the official My Verizon portal to avoid extra costs.
Paying without internet access or a My Verizon account
If you don't have online access or prefer not to use the website, you can pay by phone at 1-908-559-4899. Have your account number and payment method ready. A representative will process your payment over the phone, and you'll receive a confirmation number.
The My Verizon mobile app (available on iOS and Android) also lets you pay your bill using the same login as the website. Download the app, sign in, and follow the same steps as the online portal. Many people find the app easier to use on a phone than the website.
You can also pay in person at a Verizon store, though this takes longer than online or phone payment. Bring your account number and a payment method. Store hours vary by location, so check the Verizon website for the nearest store and its hours before you go.
Viewing your bill and payment history online
In My Verizon, the "Billing" section shows your current bill, due date, and amount owed. You can also download a PDF of your bill or view past bills going back several months. This is useful if you need to check what you were charged for or if you're disputing a charge.
Your payment history appears in the same section and shows every payment you've made, the date it posted, and the payment method used. If you set up automatic payments, you'll see those listed separately so you know when the next payment is scheduled.
If you notice a charge you don't recognize or think your bill is wrong, you can contact Verizon customer service through My Verizon or by phone. Keep your payment confirmation numbers and bill copies in case you need to reference them during a dispute.
Troubleshooting common payment problems
If your payment is declined, the most common reasons are an expired card, insufficient funds, or a mismatch between the address on your payment method and the address in your Verizon account. Update your payment method in My Verizon and try again. If the problem continues, contact Verizon at 1-908-559-4899.
If you don't see a payment you made reflected on your bill, wait one to three business days depending on your payment method. Debit and credit card payments usually post within one day; bank account payments take two to three days. If it's been longer than that, check your payment confirmation number and contact Verizon with that number.
If you're having trouble logging into My Verizon, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page to reset it. If you've never created an account, you'll need your account number and either your billing phone number or email address to set one up. Verizon's support team can help if you're still stuck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Fios bill before the due date?
Yes. You can make a one-time payment anytime through My Verizon. Paying early doesn't affect your automatic payment schedule if you have one set up — both will continue on their regular dates. Some people pay early to stay ahead or to take advantage of a paycheck timing.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If your payment doesn't arrive by the due date, Verizon will charge a late fee and may suspend your service after 30 days. You can still pay online or by phone to bring your account current. Contact Verizon if you need to set up a payment plan for a large past-due balance.
Is it safe to pay my Fios bill online?
My Verizon uses encryption and security measures to protect your payment information. Your account is password-protected, and Verizon doesn't store full credit card numbers after payment. Use a secure internet connection (not public WiFi) when paying, and never share your login credentials.
Can I change my automatic payment date?
Yes. Log into My Verizon, go to "Billing," and select "Autopay settings." You can change the payment date, payment method, or turn off automatic payments anytime. Changes take effect the next billing cycle unless you specify otherwise.
Do I get a receipt when I pay online?
Yes. You'll see a confirmation number on screen immediately after payment, and Verizon sends an email receipt to the address on your account. Keep the confirmation number in case you need to reference the payment later or if there's a dispute.
