    To create an account for a child under 13* in Family Sharing, you can only use the following payment methods:

    • Credit cards
    • China UnionPay
    • A post-paid mobile phone billing account

    After you create the child’s Apple ID, you can change your payment method to a different method, such as a debit card, China UnionPay debit card, or a pre-paid mobile phone billing account.

     

    So, you need a credit card to set it up initially. Unfortunately, that is a requirement of Family Sharing with a Child account attached.

     

    Sorry,
