NFC Enabling

I have an iPhone 11. I just received a card with information on it, that says it can be read simply by tapping on the phone. But there's nothing to scan. and nothing opens when I tap. I have not enabled Apple Pay... is that the problem? There are no instructions online that match any of my screens.

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hey there djajsmom,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to provide some assistance.


It sounds like you want to add your card to your iPhone to use with Apple Pay. Check out this resource on how to do this for your device:


Set up Apple Pay in Wallet on iPhone - Apple Support


Add a credit or debit card
In Wallet, tap the Add Card button. You may be asked to sign in with your Apple ID.
Choose one of the following:
Previous cards: Choose the card associated with your Apple ID, cards you use with Apple Pay on your other devices, or cards that you removed. Tap Continue, then enter the CVV number of each card.
Debit or credit card: Position iPhone so that your card appears in the frame, or enter the card details manually.
Alternatively, you may be able to add your card from the app of the bank or card issuer.
The card issuer determines whether your card is eligible for Apple Pay, and may ask you for additional information to complete the verification process.


We hope this helps.


Have a great day!
