Apple Pay for my 13-year-old kid

Hello guys,


I would like to set up a debit card for my kid's phone by using Apple Pay. She is 13 years old.

Unfortunatelly I cannot add a new card, I always get an instant error message if I would add a new card.

"Could not set up Apple Pay - An error occured while setting up Apple Pay".


Can you please help me somehow? Maybe I have to remove any restriction.


Thanks for your help.

Might be better served by adding Apple Cash Family instead: Set up and use Apple Cash Family - Apple Support

Learn what you need to set up and use Apple Cash for members of your Family Sharing group that are under 18 years old.


What is Apple Cash Family?

You can set up Apple Cash for the children and teens in your Family Sharing group so they can make purchases, and send and receive money in Messages. You can even limit who your child can send money to, get notified when they make transactions, and lock their account.1

Hello KGUTAY, Thank you for posting on Apple Support Communities.


If you are having trouble adding a card to Apple Pay you may need to check first that the card you are adding is supported in Apple Pay as not all banks are currently supported.


Take a look at this resource.


Apple Pay participating banks in Canada, Latin America, and the United States


Additionally, you can check this resource If your bank is a supported bank.


If you can't add cards to Wallet to use with Apple Pay


Hope this helps!
