Here is a support article on how to activate your new or replacement Apple Card. It also has links to articles the will help troubleshoot your issue.

Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.

Did you check for update on iPhone using >> Settings >> General >> Software update. ??

You can also try logging out of your Apple ID/iCloud Account, the logging back into your account. Sometimes a forced restart may help,

Thx for the prompt support on this. I am sure my iPhone SE has latest iOS, also I log out and log in again which still has no lock!

Then I try to activate from my iPad under set up section. I successfully activate the new card.

Then I went back to wallet app in my iPhone which still shows account service isn’t available. I just can’t add it to Apple Pay. Probably need to wait until my next iPhone?
