Apple pay not accepting credit card

Just got a new iphone. Was on Samsung previously. While I can add other cards to Apple Pay, one in particular refuses to be added. My wife has the same one added on her iphone with no issues. Call up the provider and no issues on their end. Anyone find a solution for this?

  1. Sometimes if you sign out of your Apple ID and back in it resolves the problem.
  2. Check your Apple ID region to make sure it is correct. If it is correct, you may need to select the same region again. (Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support)
  3. Check the region on your device to ensure it is correct (Settings>general>language & region - set to your region)
  4. A passcode is required to use the Wallet app. 
  5. You need to be in a region that supports Apple Pay - Countries and regions that support Apple Pay - Apple Support
  6. Your bank needs to support Apple Pay - Apple Pay participating banks - Apple Support
