How do I add a new card to Apple Pay when previous cards are unavailable?

Hi I’m having issues connecting to Apple Pay when I go into my wallet and try to add a card. It says there are no previous cards available and it won’t let me add a new card. Do you know how I can fix this?

You might want to check whether the OS version is up-to-date with the latest compatible version for the computer or device you are using. Eg: See if an update is waiting to b installed in Settings > General > Software updates. NB Reminder: It is always wise to back up the data before updating OS version.


Else: If OS version is already up-to-date

You might want to try restarting your computer or device (ie: deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update recent changes you have made, and often restores order if something is not working as expected.)
