Unable to add payment method on Apple Account

Hello Apple Support Team,


I am unable to add my payment method to my Apple Account. Whenever I try to add my card, I receive the following error message: “Unable to Add Payment Method. Contact Apple Support for more information.”


My card was previously working without any issues, but now I cannot add it to my account. I have sufficient funds available on the card, and I would like to understand why this is happening.


Could you please check my Apple Account and help me resolve this issue so I can add my payment method and continue making purchases and subscriptions?


Thank you for your assistance.

Probably the easiest solution would be to do as it says and contact Apple. This is a customer to customer forum and Apple isn't here.


This support page has information about contacting Apple support and service ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support If live support options (chat and/or telephone) are available they will show near the bottom left.

- Telephone numbers may only work when calling from the same country.

- Chat options (telephone numbers appear as active links, not plain text) may depend upon cellular connectivity. If a number shows as an active link, click on it to see additional options.

- If chat is not available on the top level support page, try selecting your hardware and narrow down your issue to see if a support article offers a support link offering chat. For example, the contact support link on this page Check your Apple Account balance - Apple Support offers a chat link about emptying account balance even on a computer where the top level page does not offer any chat.
