Hi. I have a VISA Debit Card, whenever I enter all it’s details to buy iCloud storage or any app from the App Store, the error “Payment method declined” appears, even though it is a VISA debit card and Apple accepts this card. My debit card is working fine on other apps/websites but not on App Store. Kindly, help me out. Thanks.

- If you are updating an old card and have ongoing subscriptions you may need to first add the new card and make it the primary payment method before deleting the old card.
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 financial institution bills and that the 3 digit CVV is correct. Check with your financial institution about the status of your card.

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.

I recommend reaching out to your local bank.
Safeguards are more common with online financial transactions. 😉👍🏼
I asked them about whether if online transaction has been activated on card and they said yes.
I’m sure when you explain the declined card that they would look further into your account.
