Apple Pay not working for contactless payments

When I open up Apple wallet, the Face ID works and allows me to access the card but it can’t be used on any card machine/wont allow me to use contactless. My cards work normally if I tap them it’s just when using Apple Pay. This only started a few days ago randomly, it working in the morning but by the afternoon it had stopped working.

Any help would be great!
