How to fix Apple Pay services are currently unavailable on iPhone?

I'm trying to add my new Apple Card to apple wallet on my iPhone (14 Pro Max), but I get an error message with the title "Apple Card Unavailable" and description "Apple Pay services are currently unavailable. Please try again later." I have tried several times today already, from morning to evening, with no success. However, this morning I was able to add the Apple Card to my iPad with no issues?

This is in regard to an Apple Card Mastercard account, correct? If not, what card specifically are you trying to add?

Yes. I just tried it again after going through my settings and just toggling things off and on and it finally added it. Thank you.

What you trying to do? Transfer to a bank, withdraw from a bank, send to a friend or what exactly?

You haven’t answered my question from 6 weeks ago. Is your comment/post in regard to Apple Card Mastercard or a different card?
