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

Apple Pay participating banks in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East

Sign in with your Apple ID


Afterwards, you can try working through the remaining suggested steps in this support article to see if they help:


If you can't add cards to Wallet to use with Apple Pay


Cheers!
