Hello~ If you’re being asked to add a payment method …then you must. Yes, even to download a free app. Many apps have in-app purchases and subscriptions …you will not be billed for anything free but verification is needed. Click on below…

Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support

Also…

If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support
