You can download free apps, but you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
You can have a credit card / debit card on file and an Apple Account balance.
If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method, your default payment method will be used first by Apple when you need to make a payment.
Free apps has also In-app pruchase.

fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your ban

Apple charges me $5.99 a month and when I don’t have the money in my account it won’t charge me and then I can’t download apps. Whenever I try it says I need to update my information (card/payment info). Even though I now have the money it won’t let me use my card. How do i fix it?

Most people do not have that option, which is why they are met with the message to add a payment method. Apple does not provide guidance on who is allowed to use the App Store without a payment method, but if you have received that message, then there is no workaround and you will need to add one. Apple even updated their Support Document about downloading apps saying that a payment method might be required even to download free apps.
