If it’s a managed device, the manager (employer, school or parent) of the device may need to enable certain services required for Apple Pay and Apple Wallet.


VPN will need to be removed, not just turned off and Network Settings will need to be reset.


Region must be set correctly. Many banks will not verify and add a card if outside of country or region.
