To see the payment methods that you can use with your Apple Account [formerly Apple ID], click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT202631

Note that these are ones that are accepted, but specific kinds (e.g., credit or debit cards) might be required in particular circumstances.


A checking account payment method would be added in the form of a debit card.
