I cannot download my FREE banking app to update my payment….

I had my card stolen, and need to get my banking app in order to deposit a check in my bank so my apple account has an “updated” form of payment. The irony that Apple’s policies have actually made it impossible to do the thing they require.


I’ve had an iphone since the second generation, and the gatekeeping is starting to make me question if i should jump ship to a different phone maker. It’s this kind of horse dung along with virtual sims that makes me actually not like Apple and I’m a huge fan of the ecosystem for devices. I actually think they are worth the high price, but today I’m doubting that. It seems that Apple really wants to cut out a LOT of customers and just cater to rich, white people.


What am I supposed to do to update my payment info if Apple’s gatekeeping is making it impossible to update my payment info?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Buy yourself an iTunes/Apple Gift card and load it on to your account.


Or, if you have a real bank account, deposit the check at a branch or ATM. Obviously, that may not be possible if you're using a fintech company like Chime.

My financial information has been hacked, my bank account emptied by hackers, my google accounts possessed by hackers who continue to change my password and attempted to intimidate me to withdraw my money and purchase a debit card with the cash at a cvs. My devices have been scrubbed twice and I do not want to put my personal financial information at the App Store to get my free banking app. I only give my account info to my bank. The App Store is not my bank. How can I retrieve my free banking app ?
