After upgrading to iPhone 17, debit card doesn’t link.

After transferring data from old to new, under “cards found for you” in Apple wallet settings, it had my debit card on there. After clicking, I get invalid card. Again, both credit and debit cards from same bank were working and linked to Apple wallet. I deleted that information from cards found tab, and initiated the adding process and still same error. The default payment method is that same debit card in question. Apple states the problem is not in their end and so does my bank. The credit card is currently linked and working. Mind boggling situation. Probably some simple setting that has changed with the new phone and iOS update, any ideas?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
