Do what it says and call your card issuer. Sometimes they have to manually approve Apple Pay.

Cant Add Card to Apple Pay on iPhone So I recently lost my debit card and removed it from Apple Pay and requested a new card from my bank, for the meantime my bank gave me a virtual card to use until my new one arrives. I tried adding the card to my iPhone SE (2020 model) through the BOA (Bank of America) app, and it says “Card Not Added”, however when I retried it in the BOA app again and I had an option to add it to my Apple Watch (Series 3), so I chose it and it added to the wallet on my Apple Watch no problem, but every time whether manually entering it in the wallet app or through the BOA app I get the same message, and since it is on my Apple Watch I’m thinking the problem is on Apple’s end not BOA’s. thanks for any help.

Apple watch SE 2 After the latest update my credit cards wont work with apple pay. I use 3 different bank cards and all of them when I try to pay the terminal ask to swipe the card. I removed the cards and add them again but still the same.
