Is anyone else having issues adding a Bank Account to their Apple Card? I get the Services Unavailable error (several days in a row). Adding to Apple Cash is fine. I've tried adding the bank information manually and copying from Apple Cash but get the same error either way.

I had this exact problem. I also spoke to Apple support and was escalated through their ranks until eventually it passed to their engineers to investigate. I heard back from them yesterday and it turns out I was entering the incorrect routing number for my bank. I was using a routing number that was on a deposit slip from an old checkbook, but it turns out that my bank (Chase) uses an internal routing number scheme for deposits. So the routing number I was attempting to use was invalid.
I never realized that the routing numbers could/would be different and the error message made me think the problem was on Apples end, not mine. Also, the Apple Cash card allowed me to add this incorrect bank account info without issue. This reinforced my thought that I was doing nothing wrong.
Once I found the correct routing number, I was able to successfully add my bank account info to Apple credit card. ( I also removed the incorrect bank info that Apple Cash allowed me to add. )
Hope this helps someone.

Oh, wow! That's it. I was using the routing number (ABA) from a deposit slip as well. A simple google search provided an updated one and that worked. Just to test it I've transferred a small balance from apple cash; if that goes through successfully I'll call the problem solved.
Did you try signing out of your Apple ID on your phone and signing back in?
call them.
I just got off the phone with Apple Pay support. According to support, in my case, I received the invite to the email I have setup for purchases, but its not the account I use for iCloud. He asked that I go and request to be notified again and placed the email related to my iCloud account instead. So now I have to get back in line.... I wish if this was the case APPLE was clearer, knowing so many of us use multiple emails.
I'm trying to add a Bank Account in order to facilitate payments when that time comes. The adding of Bank Account information for Apple Card looks the same as when adding Bank Account information for Apple Cash, but it is not working for Apple Card.
I have the same issue. I got the Invite, I have iPhone X, at 12.4, Two factor authentication, logged into iCloud, No freeze in Credit, correct apple id zone.... And it keeps saying "Apple Card Unavailable" and to try later.
Same here! I had the iCloud email address different than my Apple ID email that they sent the invitation. So changed and put the same email address to my Apple ID and ICloud (the one they sent the invitation). But still that same msg.
Are you saying you cannot set up a payment method for your Apple Card?
Thanks, I've tried there. The section "Choose or change a payment source" and then "Add a bank account," step 5 is where I'm getting the error.
Same happening here! A have IPhone X and everything was checked step by step with an apple agent by the phone. And I’m still having the error when I hit continue button to apply to the Card.
My invite email address and iCloud address are one in the same, so that isn’t it.
Case has been passed to the engineers. I'll update with any new information as I get it. This is impacting my ability to pay my apple card balance now.
