Purchased iPad, Magic Keyboard and pencil this morning and the iPad is still pending payment even though the money has come out of my bank, I went to my local bank branch and they said everything is okay on their end that it must be an apple issue. I can’t use a different payment method because I don’t have more money to use on the iPad while the other transaction is still pending
iPad Air (5th generation)
Pending purchases indicate a purchase that was unable to be charged successfully to your valid payment method on file or Apple Account balance, as such you are responsible for that purchase, and must allow it to successfully complete before anything else can be done.
If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
