Hey there Tired789,


It looks like you reached out from the resource that helps with adding cards to Apple Wallet. Were you able to follow those steps yet? If not, go ahead and give this a try next, since they're the best steps for the behavior you're experiencing and can often resolve this:


1. Check that you're able to use Apple Pay:
* Contact your card issuer to see if they support Apple Pay.
* Update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOSwatchOS, or macOS.
* Make sure that you are in a supported country or region.
* Check that your device is compatible with Apple Pay.
2. Check for services outages or connection issues.
3. If you see the message "Could Not Add Card" or "Invalid Card," contact your bank or card issuer.

Apple does not approve or decline cards for use with Apple Pay. If your card was declined, contact your bank or card issuer.

If you need help adding a card, learn how to set up Apple Pay.


If you can't add a card to Apple Wallet to use with Apple Pay - Apple Support


If this persists, Contact Apple Support directly for additional guidance.


Take care!
