Apple Pay - iPhone Migration

I migrated from a iPhone 10 to a 12 pro max, iOS 14.4 and I am unable to add one of my debit cards. Card issuer says not their issue on back end, no token being sent from iPhone. Have deleted card from old device and all other devices. Other cards migrated seamlessly.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

  1. Sometimes if you sign out of your Apple ID and back in it resolves the problem.
  2. Make sure you are using the latest iOS/macOS update.
  3. 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)
  4. Check the region on your device to ensure it is correct (Settings>general>language & region - set to your region)
  5. A passcode is required to use the Wallet app. 
  6. You need to be in a region that supports Apple Pay - Countries and regions that support Apple Pay - Apple Support
