Hello,
I’m enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an organization for my US company. Organization verification is complete, but I can’t finish enrollment because the membership fee payment always fails with:
“Your payment authorization failed on card •••8191. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method.”
What I have checked:
The card is a Wise Business card issued to my LLC. It is fully active with enough balance. I contacted Wise support. They confirmed that no payment request for the Developer Program enrollment ever reached them, and nothing was declined on their side. The only request they saw from Apple was a $0 authorization, and that came from adding the card to my Apple Account, not from the enrollment. So the decline seems to happen inside Apple’s system before the request is sent to the card issuer. The same card adds to my Apple Account without any problem. It only fails at the Developer Program enrollment payment. This Wise account is my company’s only business bank account, so I cannot use a card from another bank.
I opened a support case (Case ID: 102994457596) and emailed Apple Developer Support on October 13 and October 15, 2026, but the payment issue is still not resolved.
My app is ready and fully blocked by this, so the enrollment is very important for my business.
Could someone from the Apple Developer Program team please:
Check whether there is a payment or risk hold on my enrollment, and remove it, or Process the membership payment manually, or suggest another payment method that works for my situation (for example, an invoice).
I’m happy to provide any documents needed. Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards, Md Maruf Hasan
