If you want to make purchases or update / (re)download apps, including free apps, you need to have a payment method on file.


See -> If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad

If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad


If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple ID balance as payment method, see -> Add money to your Apple ID balance

Add money to your Apple ID balance – Apple Support (UK)


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.
