Why do I have to enter credit card info/billing info for free apps?

I’ve been trying to download free apps from the App Store but it keeps asking to sign in and enter billing info/payment info and it says my card gets declined as I enter it when I’m trying to download FREE apps. Why does it do this? How can I fix it?

iPhone X, iOS 14
