How can I update my iCloud payment information?

It seems to be impossible, went to setting and clicked on my card and tried to update the new expiration date and new code but same number but wouldn't let me , the option to update code and expiration don't exist , only name and address and card number !! how dumb is that and can't use my iPhone to purchase anymore . do I have to go to the bank and get a new card with new number and new everything and add it and let that old card fester there until next subscription get declines !!!! get the message saying your card can't be deleted because there's a subscription and all I want to do is delete it and acdd the new one with new expiration and code . so dumb . Thanks . any help . card just expired and got issued a new one , same number But different code and expiration date.

Do you get a different result if you sign into your iCloud account on the web using a browser on a computer? As I outlined, when I sign into my Apple Account I get the options to edit the card I use as a payment method.

It appears that some of the screen shots you have above refer to your Apple Pay account in your iPhone's Wallet, rather than your Apple Account payment method?

As you have found you can't delete a payment method when you have active subscriptions and where that payment method is the only one. You need at least one, but you can have multiple. If you have another payment method - such as another credit card or PayPay - try adding that, removing your old card, then add the new details of your updated card.

If you have further difficulties you might get a solution by contacting Subscriptions and Billing - Official Apple Support

I am not clear from your question if you are asking about Apple Pay on your iPhone, or your payment method for your Apple Account.

If you are asking about Apple Pay there is no ability to update your card details. Many banks do not require user intervention to keep a card active, but some do. If you are in doubt get in touch with your financial institution. If your Apple Pay has ceased to function this is a good indication that they have made the decision for you that it needs your attention. This will require you to remove the card from your Wallet app and add it again as a new card with the new details.

If you are asking about the payment method for your Apple Account you can update this on your iPhone by going to Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Manage Payments > Payment Methods and touching on the card number. Or you can sign into your account on the web, click on Payment and Shipping, then click on the card and the all the details will be there for editing.
