"Next" button is disabled when trying to add bank cards for Apple Pay on Mac

When attempting to add my credit cards to Apple Pay on my mac, I am not able to click the "Next" button on the dialog screen which asks "Do you want to add [credit card] to your Mac?" It is completely greyed out.

In the previous screen the existing cards linked to my account do show up - "select cards to use with Apple Pay". But for some reason, I cannot select "Next" on any of the cards in the next view.

I have no idea what's going on. It was definitely tied to an upgrade. This has been an ongoing issue for a year now. The only bank card that was added without issues was my Apple Card. With "Next" greyed out, I cannot add any credit cards for Apple Pay on my Mac. For now, I am stuck with making purchases via my phone, and i miss the nice experience of using Apple Pay on my mac.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.4

Wondering where you encounter that dialog screen with "Next"

and

Whether you tried using the method Apple Support suggests in the linked article below:
