Adding payment to my Apple ID

I’ve been having issues with adding billing and payment methods to my Apple ID for some months now and I’ve not been able to download any apps on my phone either. It keeps asking me to add a payment method which I did but it keeps declining.


I need help with this guys

Based on your country of residence and country you have selected under your Apple ID --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple ...


Have you a Debit/Credit card issued to you that is valid internationally and from the same Country / Region as your Apple ID?



Know it here --> If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes ...


Check the following

  1. The payment method that you are adding is of the same country as that of App Store Country on your iPhone
  2. You have a valid payment plan debit/credit card from an authorized bank from the same country
  3. Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple Support
  4. Learn more about family purchases and payments.
  5. Please check if your Debit/Credit card is valid internationally
