It may be possible to select None as your payment method. If you are not able to choose None (even for downloading free apps and updating existing ones), then the following support article explains why that is the case:

Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

Follow the instructions here as appropriate, including checking that your address details fully match those on file with your card issuer / bank:

If your payment method is a bank card, you may also wish to check with your bank, in case it has declined Apple's payment authorisation requests.

If you still need help, contact iTunes Support:

Let me know if this helps!
