I can’t add my payment method

Hello bahatti,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you're having an issue with adding a payment method to your Apple ID, and I'd like to help out.

When entering a payment method, make sure to use the exact same address that your financial institution shows for the billing address. Change, add, or remove Apple ID payment methods

If you're still receiving the same message, try using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data. Also verify that cellular data is enabled at Settings > Cellular > Settings. Check the cellular data usage on your iPhone and iPad

This article can also help: If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store

Take care!

Hello bahatti,

We appreciate the reply and additional information.

Yes. The card information needs to match what the financial institution has on file.

If you don't have a card to use, you can use an iTunes & App Store gift card. Redeem App Store & iTunes Gift Cards and content codes

Or, if you don't plan on making any purchases, then you can choose None.

Enjoy your day!
