I finally managed to complete payment.What worked was asking Apple Support to create an order for a direct wire transfer and mentioning the fact that this problem is widespread with a reference to this forum discussion.I was then able to transfer 99$ directly to Apple's bank in USA. My bank charged me extra for the transfer but the payment succeeded.This is also a new account not a renewal.Good luck!

That solution is very strange,1. You need a "many years old appleid"2. I need to purchase a random app just to get a developer account? It's absurd.3. I don't have 2 phones to replace numbers.
