"Could not set up Apple Pay - An error occurred while setting up Apple Pay
I posted this question previously on the Apple Pay forum, but did not get any response. Hopefully this post is going to the general support forum...
I am trying to set up Apple Pay on my new MacBook Pro. In Settings, I click on "Wallet & Apple Pay," but then when I click on "Add a Card," the above message is displayed. I have checked that Language and Region are correct, set it to another region, then set it back to the US, and tried signing in and out of my Apple ID. I also restarted .
There are no other suitable trouble shooting options given in the solutions to this problem on the relevant Apple support page.
Possibly related: under Touch ID in Settings, I am not able to select Apple Pay or iTunes for use with Touch ID.
Yesterday I updated to Big Sur, perhaps this could be the problem?
