Thanks for reaching out Oleg_Kovtun,
It sounds like you are having some trouble adding your card to Apple Pay. We can help.
While we understand that you spoke to your financial institution and they referred you back to Apple, consider that Apple wouldn't make a determination of your card's usability, they would simply send a request and your bank would either authorize the card or decline it. Apple would just tell you the outcome.
There are some possible reasons for this behavior you can check out:
- Have you recently had a replacement card issued to you, where some of the details are now different from what you put in?
- Do you have any sort of restriction on purchases in place to prevent unauthorized charges if your card is ever compromised?
- Are you in a one of the Countries and regions that support Apple Pay? If so, is your bank listed as a participating bank?
