Unable to update payment method and change Apple ID country

I tried to change my country of origin because I moved from South Korea to US, but apple required to change my payment method first. So I added new credit card information I use now, but it's not working and the message was popped up 'ask apple support team'.

But it's really hard to find an answer I want. It makes me annoyed.


What should I do to update my payment method and country of origin.

Additional info for changing your region is here. The region of the financial institution for the added card must match the region you have on your device, otherwise it will not work.

Hello~ In addition to *Mac Jim ID’s* always helpful information…


Add a payment method to your Apple Account - Apple Support*


*If you can't add a payment method

  • Check what payment methods you can use with your Apple Account in your country or region.
  • If you're using an accepted payment method but your Apple Account is set to a different country or region, change your country or region.
  • If the Add button is grayed out, you might be in a Family Sharing group and you use purchase sharing. Only the family organizer can have a payment method on file. If you want to use your own payment methods, turn off purchase sharing, then add your own payment method.
  • Double-check that your name, billing address, and other information is spelled correctly and matches what you have on file with your financial institution.
  • Some payment methods require that you verify through your financial institution's app, text message, or other means. Contact your financial institution for help if you're unable to verify.
