You will find below the steps to remove payment info on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows as well as other devices like Apple TV and Google Chromebook. Apple Pay, PayPal, and a variety of credit cards are all accepted on the App Store and iTunes. When you make an online purchase with Apple using your credit card or PayPal account, the transaction instantly links your payment method to your Apple ID, making it easy to shop on the App Store for the next time. If you don’t want that, you can update or remove a payment method linked to your Apple ID.
Don’t forget that if you delete your credit card or PayPal information, you will no longer be able to make purchases on the iTunes Store and App Store.

Can’t remove billing information on iPhone and iPad?
To see your subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap your account name, then tap Subscriptions. If you have any active subscriptions, including iCloud+, you must have a payment method on file. If you want to remove all payment methods, you can cancel your iCloud+ plan and cancel other subscriptions from Apple. We recommend using iTunes to backup your data first.
Make sure you don’t have any subscriptions
When your subscription period is over, try to remove your payment method again. Speaking of backing up data, if you’re going to check for individual back ups due to storage restraints on your PC, check out our how to delete multiple contacts on iPhone guide.
