Hi there,


This article also 'teaches' you how to change/update your payment information, such as your billing address that may not match with the card billing address, etc.

Here are all the reasons your payment method may be declined; please review them:

  • Insufficient balance or account in arrears
  • Account suspended for suspected fraud (not necessarily by you)
  • Error in card number
  • Wrong expiration date
  • Wrong security (CVV) code
  • Address in your iTunes account does not match exactly the billing address for the card
  • The card was not issued in the country of the iTunes store
  • You are connected through a VPN provider that does not terminate in the country of the iTunes store you are connected to.
  • Your Apple ID has security issues (email address/phone number not confirmed, password needing to be changed, two factors authentication required, etc.)
