- If your payment method is declined, or you have a billing issue with a previous purchase in the iTunes Store - If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support - various reasons why payment method is declined.
- If this abruptly started happening try removing and re-entering your payment information -

- Do the name, address (all spelling, letter case and punctuation), and card numbers exactly match those you have entered? You didn't mis-type anything?
- You entered the 3 digit security code for the card? Correctly?
- The country for the bank and your address are the same as the iTunes Store country you are using?
- See the end of the document linked above for special measures that may be necessary for some cards, plus about contacting your financial institution to make sure your records match.
