Card has insufficient funds and cannot compete nor does it let me take off the card form the acodunt

Why every time I try to make a purchase it says I cannot complete the purchase to insufficient funds when I have money in my bank account. Then when I try to take the card off it just says failed also when I go to payment methods it says failed on my card I was trying to pay it off but there’s no red words to lock from purchase history for me to pay off it says it was paid

iPhone XR, iOS 16

If you get a message -> Your purchase could not be completed, you need to Add a payment method to your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)

  • If you want to change your card, add first the new card, then remove the old one.
  • or if you use your Apple Account balance, you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.

FYI: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.


Add money to your Apple Account balance -> Add money to your Apple Account balance - Apple Support

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.

How to complete your purchase if a payment failed or was declined

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name.
  3. Tap Payment & Shipping.
  4. Add a different payment method and remove the old one
  5. Try to complete your purchase.


If you still can't make a purchase


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.
