My Apple ID payment method was declined and verification failed.

A “payment declined” or “card declined" message means that the issuer of the credit or debit card you have on file in your iTunes account rejected a charge or account confirmation. It is not an Apple problem; Apple is just passing through the message from your issuer. There are a number of reasons the charge or verification might be declined:

• Apple is not allowed to accept credit or debit cards in your country
• The card is not recognized in your country
• Insufficient balance or account in arrears
• Account suspended for suspected fraud (not necessarily by you)
• Error in card number
• Wrong expiration date
• Wrong security (CVV) code
• Address in your iTunes account does not match exactly the billing address for the card
• The card was not issued in the country of the iTunes store
• You are connected through a VPN provider that does not terminate in the country of the iTunes store you are connected to.

Here is additional information from Apple→If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support

I have a problem with My Apple ID payment method.. please kindly help

If the verification fails and you are using a separate ID for iCloud and Media & Purchases ensure payment details for both are correct. Payments and Shipping details do not copy through to Media & Purchase details. Media & Purchase details need to be updated separately.

SOMEONE HELP I CANT EVEN DOWNLOAD GAMES NOW SMH

Why can I not add a new credit card to pay my iCloud payment

I’m trying to download apps and when i try to verify it asks me for a payment method and in the past I have never needed one so I don’t understand why I need one now. But when I try to put in my payment method it says failed. I don’t have any subscriptions that i’m paying for with this card either. Someone please explain to me what’s happening because all of the stuff I try to download is free.
