Your Payment method was declined. Update it or add a new payment method and try again.

I am new to apple recently purchased iPhone 11. While I was try to purchase app it asked me to add a payment method. After adding all the details my payment method was declined.

I searched for suggestions to solve this issue, one of the user said

  • "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please edit your billing info to correct the problem.”
  • "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Click Purchase History to view and correct the problem. If you cancel you will not be able to buy until this billing issue has been resolved."

since I am new to apple I cannot have any billing problem.

how can I solve this?


iPhone 11, iOS 14

Review this document about what to do "If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store" Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT203005 It mostly just suggests you make sure your payment method is up to date or to try a different one. Apple is probably just checking with the system linking to your financial institution and asking if the payment method is valid. The system is providing a negative response. Make sure the name and address are entered exactly as it appears on your bills and that the 3 digit CVV is correct. Check with your financial institution about the status of your card.

If you still have problems Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region/Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
