Unable to add a card that was previously linked to my Apple Account

I am trying to add a card that was previously linked to my account and used for purchases. However, I keep receiving a message that this card cannot be used for payments and that it has been declined.

What can I do to resolve this issue? Could you please provide specific steps to fix this problem, such as verifying my payment details, checking for any restrictions, or updating my account settings?

Hi there

Please see this

How to complete your purchase if a payment failed or was declined

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
Tap your name.
Tap Payment & Shipping.
Add a different payment method and remove the old one.
Try to complete your purchase.

If you still can't make a purchase

You might have an unpaid order. Learn how to pay an unpaid order.
Contact your financial institution.
- You might need to ask your financial institution to allow international purchases on your debit or credit card.
- If you want to know why a debit card, credit card, or other payment method was declined, speak with your financial institution. Apple doesn't have information about why the payment method was declined.
In some countries and regions, your payment method might be declined because of changes to local law. Learn about billing and purchases in Europe.
