I have $0.01 remaining in my Apple Account balance. I cannot spend it, and I need to change my country or region. Could you please help me clear the remaining balance?

Apple is not actively participating on this user to user support forums. Please Contact - Official Apple Support to let iTunes Store support staff zero out your balance for you

Hello ~If you are trying to zero your balance before changing regions…you may purchase an item from the App Store for more than your balance and the remainder will be billed to your credit card on file thus zeroing your balance . You may also go to lower left hand corner and click on Support and they can zero it for you or…


Contact Apple for support and service


Also if you are changing regions take a look through this article as well…

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗


  1. Purchase something from the App Store at a cost greater than your balance. This is the quickest option.
  2. If you are unable to spend the remaining balance, then contact Apple Support to request a reset of your account balance to zero.
  3. If you need to change your region, then click ▶︎ Change Region for step-by-step instructions.


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
