First, make sure that you are in a supported country or region.


If that didn’t help, then check ▶︎ System Status for possible service outages.


▷ Be sure card has not expired. ◁


Then be sure to activate your card before attempting to add it to Apple Wallet by contacting your bank.


If that didn’t work, then click ▶︎ Can’t add a card to Apple Wallet for detailed instructions.


If that doesn’t 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.
