HT1918 Couldn't use debit card with iTunes store

I opened a new bank account. When I tried updating my debit card in iTunes it didn't work. I got a message saying "Your credit card does not match your bank's records." The same thing happened to me a year ago when I opened a new account. After a few weeks it worked.  This must be common. Has anyone else had this problem?

Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.

Using a debit card in any online service where it stores your card is a bad idea in any case since if someone gains access to your account in the service, they can quickly drain your bank account. Credit cards limit your liability, as do prepaid iTunes cards.

  • Can I use gift card with iTunes to buy additional iCloud storage on my ipad2

    I need to purchase additional iCloud storage. My question is I have a couple gift cards with iTunes. Can I use one or both gift cards to buy this additional storage? Thank you. I await a response.

    According to Apple, payment methods accepted include iTunes store credit, credit cards, and debit cards.  Presumably this means that if you redeem the gift card to create an iTunes store credit, the upgrade would be charged against this credit.  If you want to confirm this, call the Apple online store at the number shown at the bottom of this page.

  • HT3702 can you use a debit card with itunes?

    hi, i am wanting to use a debit card from hdfc to make purchase on itunes. when i was living in the usa, making purchases with the debit card went smoothly but here in india despite it being an 'international' card it doesnt seem to go through and is rejected. my card works for many other sites including flipkart and amazon. not sure why apple doesnt accept debit cards

    As far as I know debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined. Do you have a credit card that you could use instead ? They are generally considered safer when used on sites where the card details are stored. The card also needs to have been issued by a bank in your country and be registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account.

  • Cannot use any cards with iTunes

    I recently got a new debit card from my bank so iTunes asked me to update my card info. Problem is that none of my cards work. My new card is a Visa Debit card whereas my old one was a maestro card and it used to work fine. I also tried my Mastercard and that didn't work either.
    What am I supposed to do? I can't even download free apps.

    I've got exactly the same problem - Nat West have changed my latest card from Maestro to Visa Debit, but there isn't an option to chose this in iTunes, and it doesn't accept my number if I click Maestro.
    I've just asked the bank, and they were really surprised iTunes hasn't been updated - apparently Maestro is being phased out because it's not recognised overseas.
    I don't want to use my credit card, because I try to limit it's use - so now I can't download anything! And what happens when my mobileme account comes up for renewal?!
    I've emailed Apple, so I'll let you know what they reply...

  • I can't connect my Payoneer debit card to iTunes store

    Hi, I'm from Sri Lanka. I have a Payoneer debit card (Master Card) and I tried to connect it to my iTunes account. But it shows an error as "your payment method is not valid in this store". Payoneer card is also a Sri Lankan and belongs to me. I entered all details correctly. Can anyone tell me the reason for this. ITunes does not allow to connect debit cards? Do they only allow Credit cards?

  • HT1918 I've changed payment card thru iTunes Store still not working so I can't update any Appts

    I've changed payment details on my computer through iTunes  Store but when I update any Appts it either says last payment declined or change payment method I can't update my Appts or download any new ones even free ones the last person suggested to contact iTunes customer support I rang the 0800 number after going through stuff it said if I didn't have something I had to pay 25 pounds so I put the phone down can anyone help thank you.

    There is no phone support for the iTunes Store. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to iTunes support and request assistance. Note that if you are trying to enter in a debit card, debit cards are apparently no longer accepted.

  • TS1646 Can I use Debit card instead of Credit card ?

    Can I use use debit card for apple store ?

    You can try, but a number of users have reported that debit cards are no longer accepted. I advise against using a debit cards, though since if your iTunes Store account was to be compromised, your bank account could be quickly exhausted and many banks provide less protection for unauthorized debit card transactions than are provided for credit cards.
