Hello~ Take a look at the following information by clicking on below…


If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support*



*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 and Japan.
