Issue with authorizing debit card in Apple Pay

My bank (Nordea) and debit card are compatible with Apple Pay. I’ve tried multiple times to add my debit card to the Apple Wallet but even when I verify adding the debit card in my banking app it still isn’t available to use in the Apple Wallet app. It still says ”waiting for verification” under the card. Why could this be?

Hello TinkaK,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with a verification status message when adding your card to Apple Pay. As described in this article:


"The card issuer determines whether your card is eligible for Apple Pay, and may ask you for additional information to complete the verification process.": Set up Apple Pay in Wallet on iPhone


We recommend contacting the card issuer to see if they need more information to authorize the card.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
