You can have a credit card / debit card on file and an Apple Account balance.

If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method, your default payment method will be used first by Apple when you need to make a payment.

Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.


See the following Apple articles:

Add a payment method to your Apple ID -> Add a payment method to your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)

  •  if you want to use your Apple ID balance, set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.


If you update your payment method or add funds to your Apple Account 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.
