Why am I asked for account details for a free app?

For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

Why does it ask for my bank details when I want to download a free app?

when I go to download a free app is asks for my bank details I put them in but it keeps saying that they are wrong;( halp meh

They're wrong. That's why it's saying that. Check to make sure that the address you have input is the same as the address that your bank has on file for you. Also, make sure you're using an approved payment method for your area. Alternatively, you can simply use an iTunes gift card instead, which bypasses the need to have payment information on file.

In iTunes, click "Store", sign in with your Apple I.D. After singing in, click "Store" again, select "View my Account", re-enter your password and your account info will be displayed.
Click "Edit" in front of "payment information" and select "None"

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Why am i being asked for my billing information when i want to download a free app?

Because you have not entered billing information and it is required to confirm you are in the country which you are attempting to acquire content from.

I want to download a free app. But iTunes wants my credit card information everytime and I get declined. Why and how do I fix it.

I want to download a free app. When I sign in then I have to sign in again to iTunes. Then it wants my credit card information as it always does. When I fill it out it says I'm decline and try a different card. Why it do that when the app is free. When first started iTunes I had no problem downloading apps. Why now since I used a card a few times does it ask me for my card information everytime now. Can't download any free apps without being declined.

Hello Snoweagle57,
It sounds like you are trying to download a free app, and when prompted to enter a credit card it is declined. I would use this article to go into iTunes and change your payment method to None:
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
If you are unable to select None, the following article may help you determine why:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

HT5622 Why i an asked to verify payment information while i try to install free apps?

Plz help me i am unable to download free apps , I am asked to verify payment information while the aap is free

Hi Kashif jalil,
If an iTunes Store account was originally set up with a credit card, the information on file needs to be valid and active for all purchases, even if the purchase isn't charged (free apps). If you need to update your billing info, you may find the following article helpful:

When I want to download a free app I am required to give my credit card details. Why if the app is free?.

I am not prepared to give my credit card details for a free app. These days I don't trust anyone with my bank details if I am not making a purchase & the app is free.

Is it an account that hasn't been used in the store before, and if so how did you create it ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store (you should be able to remove credit card details after entering them).
If you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details or create a new account (and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it).
