Remove a payment method from your Apple ID

Remove a payment method

If you have subscriptions such as iCloud+, have an unpaid balance or use purchase sharing, you must keep at least one payment method on file.

• Do you have a subscription? You can cancel iCloud+ and cancel other subscriptions from Apple. When your subscription period has finished, remove your payment method.
• If you're in a Family Sharing group and you use purchase sharing, the family organiser must have a payment method on file. If you're the family organiser, turn off purchase sharing, then remove the payment method.
• If you have an unpaid balance, you may not be able to remove a payment method. Instead, change your payment method.
• If you still can't remove a payment method, contact Apple Support.
