Q: Apple pay - Can't activate debit card
System performance decreased after a couple of months of use.
As nothing worked, to improve performance I had to "Reset Settings".
After that I tried to add my debit card to Apple Pay Wallet ( the one I added when I bought the phone and used fine until the Reset Settings procedure) and the card will not activate.
Even after contacting the bank and confirming that the card is active and ready for use with Apple Pay, even after deleting and re-adding the card, resetting the phone, contacting the bank and confirming again, nothing works, the card is stuck in "Activating" even though until the Settings Reset it worked fine.
I use Apple Pay almost daily, and I miss not having it so...help !!!
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2
