Apple may require a valid payment method for verification purposes. You can try setting your account to not need one but you may still find you have to have one to at least start.


Create or use your Apple ID without a payment method - https://support.apple.com/HT204034 - "When you use your Apple ID to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store for the first time, you're asked to enter a payment method so that you can purchase items from the store. Follow these steps if you don't want to associate a payment method with your account."


It could also be you owe money on a previous purchase: If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support
