You might want to start by checking your region: ▷ Open Settings ➢ General ➢ Language & Region ➢ Region.


Now, here’s the fully detailed procedure to adding a card:⇣


Try the following:

  • Be sure to activate your card before attempting to add it to Apple Wallet.
  • Be sure card has not expired.
  • Be sure to verify all information on the card matches exactly.


Apple Pay Support

* Set up Apple Pay.
* Pay Participating Banks.



If none of those work, then try linking the payment method:


Open Settings ➢ your name at the top of the list ➢ Payment & ShippingAdd Payment Method.


Once the payment method has been added, you should have the option to link it to Apple Pay.

Good luck! 👋🏼😉
