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.

Is your debit card issued by a bank for use with an account in the bank? Are there funds in the account?


Is your card a prepaid debit card that you bought from a store? Apple often does not accept this type of debit card.
