How do I fix this?

Everytime I attempt to download a free app, it says “Verification Required”. There is no option to go around adding a new payment method onto my IPhone and I don’t want to have to put any card information on there. I used to use a card on my phone to pay for my Netflix and Hulu so that number is still on there but, won’t let me delete it off. How can I download apps and get that old cards information off?

iPhone 11, iOS 16
