billing iss

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
• If you are trying to add the card to the Apple Wallet the issuer doesn't support the Wallet
• The card was not issued in the region of the iTunes store
• You are connected through a VPN provider that does not terminate near your actual location.
• If you have an expired or invalid card in your Apple ID account you must add a new card FIRST, then delete the expired card.
