The first 4 digits of your card number represent the card type, i. e. Mastercard, Visa, or Discover. When your bank changed card types, they should have issued you a new card with a different number. That's the problem, and you will need to notify your bank.

Hi, I’m attempting to set up my payment info in the App Store for my first free download of an app on this iPhone 6s, having verified my fingerprint ID and entered my password when asked. (This is for a free app, but ‘verification is required’ probably as it’s my first download on this iPhone from the App Store. The 16-digit Credit card number, CVV, and Expiry Date, are correct. So, what does, “Credit card number does not match credit card type” mean? Does it mean, that I must contact my card provider to proceed anyway? Or, does it mean something else? Or does it signify something else entirely unrelated? Or, does it mean that I should simply try PayPal and hope it works? (When I/my Bank changed from Visa to MasterCard, iTunes/App Store had accepted that in the past and I made purchases using the latter card type.) Any good ideas? Thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
