You can download free apps, but you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
Free apps has also In-app pruchase.

Add a payment method
You may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
- If you want to change your card, add first the new card, then remove the old one.
- or if you want to use your Apple ID balance, you need to set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.

fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.
