Handle your line of error as follows:

self.discountField.text = data!["discount"] as? String ?? ""

If data["discount"] has a value, it will be assigned to the textfield, else an empty string will be used. But it will avoid the crash due to a nil value.

As suggested by many other guys, first check your IBOutlet connection.

If it's properly set, then put '?' after addClientDiscount as:

self.discountField.text = "\(addClientDiscount?)"

Because if this line

let displayDiscount : AnyObject? = data["discount"]

gives nil then crash may occur.
So to bypass that crash put '?'

UPDATE As suggested by Eric D. we can also do this:

if let displayDiscount = data["discount"] {
   let addClientDiscount = displayDiscount as! String
   prefs.setObject(addClientDiscount!, forKey: "addClientDiscount")

   self.discountField.text = "\(addClientDiscount!)"
}
