Having issues authorizing payment for Apple Developer Program

Hey guys

I’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.

Have any of you ever had issues like that?

Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?

Same issue, from Brazil too, i have tried with Visa, Mastercard, 6 cards no luck. Apple only says "Is a bank problem" or "I cannot help you". Waiting an American Express card to try again.
I think we need to confirm the info we provide to the Bank and our enrollment info, maybe Apple check that automatically if they can get our info (address, name, phone) via our card.

Can I use a credit card other than my own to complete my purchase?
The payment information you provide must match exactly with your enrollment information. If this information does not match, your enrollment will be delayed and you may be asked to provide a copy of a government issued identification.


Quote from the solution offered by "the app" user:

"First Solution:

Place order form Apple Developer app.

Use a new apple device which is not trusted device of any other apple developer account.

Signin with your apple developer id, Add payment mehtod and 1st buy an app. So your credit card will be verified.

Now download apple developer app and signin with apple developer id (in some countries apple developer app do not support direct transaction) so they will provide your weblink inside app.

If your country do not support direct transaction from apple developer app, click on weblink and complete transaction from mobile.

Thats' it. I have renewed 1 developer account and purchased 3 new developer account using this method."


Short answer: brand new iPhone SE, new iCloud account, new bank card, new telephone number, installed Apple Developer app on iPhone, bought an app from Apple Store (payment was OK), bought Apple Enrollment program (the app wasn't supporting payment inside the app for Romania so I was redirected on the payment page where I made the purchase) - after one day -> transaction canceled!

So, it doesn't work for me. :(


I have the same issue, tried to pay with different credit card, different Apple IDs. Tried to pay via Safari (Cleared cache), Also tried to pay with my iPhone but no success!
Contacting apple support is waist of time! Only they respond with the same fix template and then ignoring to follow up my issue.
I'm wondering how is it possible that Apple doesn't follow up and fix this issue?

Hi. I'm from South Africa and I'm having the same problem. The Apple payment site doesn't require a CVV number from Mastercard and VISA my credit card. Has anyone managed to get sorted?

Something really weird is going on.
I'm located in Indonesia and have tried 3 US card, 1 German based, and about 8 Indonesian card. All failed.

The weirdest thing is some of these cards have successfully enrolled my friend in single try. Creating new account doesn't do anything—it's still automatically canceled.

What makes me furious is some developer from my country can enroll with their CC and immediately confirmed in 3 minutes after submission is processed.

I don't know what to do anymore. I have applied 32 times for the past 80 days.

This is so stupid.
Having the same issue. U.S. resident. U.S. credit cards. U.S. banks. Firstly, the card I routinely use in the Apple store got denied. Tried a second card where the payment went through, only to have an email sent days later saying that I cancelled the order (which I definitely did not). That card now also doesn't work. I'm on my third attempt with a third different card. What the heck Apple!?!? Instead of streamlining payment, they're spending resources not allowing words like "ginger" to be in our forum name. (blondes & brunettes are fine apparently) This is cancel culture run amuck.
Any luck with the payment? I have been trying this for the past 2 months..
