Hey pratham2002,


It appears that you're having an issue adding a card to Apple Pay. You'll want to make sure you meet these requirements for Apple Pay:


"To use Apple Pay, you need:


You can add up to 12 cards on most devices, and up to eight cards on some older models.


Learn if your country/region supports Apple Pay. To check if your card is compatible with Apple Pay, contact your card issuer.


  1. Make sure that you sign in to iCloud on all your devices. On your iOS device, you need to set up Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. On your Apple Watch, you need to set up a passcode. If you sign out of iCloud or remove your passcode, all credit, debit, prepaid, transit, and student ID card will be removed from that device.
  2. If you're less than 13 years old, Apple Pay isn't available and you can't add a card in the Wallet app. Age varies by country or region."


That information came from this article: Set up Apple Pay - Apple Support


If you and your device meet the requirements, then this article has steps that could help: If you can't add cards to Wallet to use with Apple Pay - Apple Support


Best wishes.

I know it’s been a while but I figured this one out. When you did an update for some reason the region settings are getting stuck in a unrecognized loop so go into your settings click general then go to language and region and re select your region even though it will already be selected and then click change region it should fix this issue. I was having the same problem with mine for about the same amount of time and finally got fed up and decided to figure it out.
