the payment card you entered is not valid in the United Kingdom

I have same problem with my card.

Yesterday I've run out of money, so I added costs to my card - and now it always says that payment method is not valid for Russia. Bank was not able to provide any information, they say that they don't even get an error from iTunes.

Same in India. With EntroPay Virtual Card...

I have simular problem in Ukraine (((

I always have an error: "the payment card you entered is not valid in russia"

but that work last week...

The same in HongKong today, it works last week...

Same. Very frustrating! Any way of fixing this?

"the payment card you entered is not valid in Italy. Please provide a valid payment card for Italy". I have just bought an iPhone5 on the Apple website with the same credit card (new). Can't download any app! Some help please?

Same problem for me in Luxembourg for over 2 months now. No solution in sight, meaning no new money for Apple since then. I refuse to put in another credit card out of principle. Same issuer, same billing address, same everything except a new CC number, expiration, and verification code. Maddening. And you would think that the support, who actually responded and attempted to help, would actually contact the card issuer and try to get the problem fixed.

Hi, I am also in Luxembourg and have got the same issue with my AMEX card.... don't know what to do ?

I kept escalating to Apple and they finally got back to me saying the card looks Belgian to their systems. I now went back to Amex and asked them to get their ITunes account manager to talk to Apple and get it fixed. I don't care whose fault it is, only that the problem get fixed. What boggles my mind is that only the last 5 digits of the new card were different, so how that turns a Lux card into a Belgian card is beyond me.

Having the same problem- appstore not accepting my visa, saying that the payment method is incorrect and the postcode as well.

Sumbitted ticket to the support.

Very flustrating...

This is different from the other posts.

When you receive this message that says your address or Postal Code is not valid, it is normally one of two possibilities. 1. The Zip code doesn't match. 2. The actual address including formatting is not correct.

Many people will call the bank to confirm the address; but they do not realize they must enter their address into the billing section using the same punctuation and abbreviations. For example, if the bank has Street, but the customer types St. then it will not accept. There are many examples of this, like North, Avenue, Apartment. All these must match identical. So call the bank back and have them read it exactly as it appears.

Hi I had the same issue for a few weeks. Today finally got to speak to Apple support and the problem is fixed.

You need to log into iTunes account, firstly change the payment type to 'none'.

Then go to change the country and region.

It should work.

Best,

S.

P.S. I do agree this is a bug Apple should fix.

I just experienced the same situation this morning.

The simple way to fix it is -- select none for you payment first, then change the country/region.

It should work!
