Adding debit card to my son's Wallet - Not allowed

I'm trying to add my son's debit card to Wallet on his own phone (with a child account, he's 7 yo). When clicking Add Card i Wallet I get a message saying "Cannot add card. Payment cards are not supported for this account". Why is this and what do I do to approve him having his own debit card (connected to his own bank account) in Apple Pay /Wallet?

Using iOS 16.3.1

Thanks,

Joakim

Adding a debit card to child's account Is there any way to override the inability to add a card to a child's account? My kid has his own debit card and frequently gets visa gift card as presents. I want to be able to add these to his account so he can buy stuff. We're constantly having trouble allowing him to purchase things. It won't let us approve purchased or tells us to verify the card but gives us no to do so.

I believe the child must be at least 13 for a card to be added
