I just moved to Japan so I changed my region to Japan since there are some apps not available in my region, but when I’m trying to register my card as a payment method it says that it’s not valid even though it’s a Mastercard. Why is it denying it?

I just moved to Japan so I changed my region to Japan since there are some apps not available in my region, but when I’m trying to register my card as a payment method it says that it’s not valid even though it’s a Mastercard. Why is it denying it?

This is stopping me from making purchases on my phone and is just making it harder for me.

Start here, see -> Payment methods you can use with your Apple ID

Payment methods you can use with your Apple ID – Apple Support (UK)

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.
