Having issues authorizing payment for Apple Developer Program

Hi guys, we are from australia, we applied apple developer program enrolment since dec 2024, and we are stuck in a loophole that after we pay the AUD$149 for the developer program, which reflect in the bank immediately, but it will show cancelled status next day, and the bank will get bounced back $149 in several days anyone can help? We tried 6 cards, Mastercard, Visa, Prepaid, Amex, Credit card and Debit card, under different names but they are all Australian card. We emailed apple support team and we experienced 7+ agents who can't really help us and we enrolled 5+ times on both iPhone and Mac, developer app and web and everytime the results are the same!

SOLVED FEB 2024------PLEASE READ

We tried 6 different cards in 2 months, no support agent can really helped us, and we got the solutions for 2 major errors we faced.

1. When you can't proceed in the web giving you red banner, it is one common issue, the address, email and phone number is not matching the card holder's bank details on file with the bank, the billing address and email and phone numbers fields must match the bank details on file, apple use these details to verify with your bank so you need to make sure the address, mobile and email is same as the info bank recorded!

2. If you can proceed on web, and got charged the membership fees, but got cancelled next day or 48 hours etc, and no matter how many card you tried, it will keep cancelling you after one day or 48 hours, please

3. withdraw your enrolment first

4. then use a clean erased/reseted iphone to log in your developer ID

5. change all the details to another person (names, address, email, phone number etc)

6. then download developer app and make sure all the details in the app is showing the new person's details

7. restart another enrolment from the app, and use all new materials under the new person's details

8. follow the instructions and wait 2-3 days to got approved to let you pay

9. pay with the card that is under new person's name and the billing address and email and phone numbers fields must match the bank details on file, apple use these details to verify with your bank so you need to make sure the address, mobile and email is same as the bank recorded!

Good Luck, these are the experience we learned from past 2 month, emailing tim c won't help, coz the senior team members are not being helpful to us, and yes we are from Australia, we didn't use US cards to pay, and debit cards and credit cards are both fine!

same issue happened on me. Have you already solve it ?

Hey same problem here and it seems since 2019 to 2024 no problems but now no one can get this done ?

I’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment since decemeber 2024 so now in June 2025 - 6 months of no solutions

We have tried all everything, emailed every possible support on developer website, tried mutliple cards and accounts, withdraw enrolment, re-enroll nothing.

We even spoke to local Apple Head Office to try and get help to no avail.

Customer senior management support even could not help or escalate nothing – But I don’t know what’s really going on or what to do next

we also from South Africa
