solution : get a credit card or use iTunes gift cards
Apple does not accept debit cards for the App Store.
Accepted payment types
You need an Apple ID to buy items in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store and iBookstore. When you create an Apple ID for any of these stores, you will need to provide a payment method for purchases. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use:
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.
In your case, go to a physical store, use your debit to purchase an iTUnes gift card, redeem that and you'll have an amount of credit ($15, $25, $50 are common demoninations) in the app store.
I use the gift cards all the time and have had no issues. In fact I prefer it over giving up my credit card number. This way if my account is ever compromised all the 'bad guys' can get is 15 dollars and change.
While Demois correct in that the list they provided is the supported methods, as I have been told a Debit card with credit card access may work. I would check to make sure that the billing address that youhave supplied iTunes matches exactly the one on your credit card access debit card.
Debit card not accepted. Why?
