Hi there Riz3xYT,


If you're unable to add cards to Wallet to use with Apple Pay, you'll want to check to see if you're in a country that supports Apple Pay. Have a look at the link below to find out:


Countries and regions that support Apple Pay


If you're in a supported country, you'll want to be sure your iPhone is running the latest software version, which is iOS 15.6. You can check that in Settings > General > About. Learn more about updating iPhone here:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Next, you'll want to be sure you're using a supported card from a participating issuer, and signed into iCloud with your Apple ID. The links below provide more information:


Apple Pay participating banks in Canada, Latin America, and the United States

Apple Pay participating banks and card issuers in Asia-Pacific
