I can’t add card to payment method. It says: “ Your payment method was declined. Update it or add a new payment method and try again.” What should I do?

Hi. It depends on the bank. For example, debit cards associated with prepaid accounts won’t be accepted. But if you have a routing and account number, you have a better chance of Apple Wallet accepting that instead. Hope this helps.

See the Apple Support article(s) below. Link to contact Apple Support in the article.
