You need to have a payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.

See the following Apple articles:

Payment methods you can use with your Apple ID

Change, add or remove Apple ID payment methods

Add money to your Apple ID balance

If you update your payment method or add funds to your Apple ID balance, It would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.

If you're still unable to update your payment method, Contact Apple Support.
