Won’t let me install apps

While trying to download an app it is saying that I need to verify my account and then takes me to the billing section so I can add a card to my account. Already previously had the app on my phone but still won’t let me install the app

iPhone SE, iOS 14

After you have used the App Store and  iTunes for the first time, it is possible to remove the payment method.
