How to fix Apple Pay services are currently unavailable on iPhone?

I'm trying to add my new Apple Card to apple wallet on my iPhone (14 Pro Max), but I get an error message with the title "Apple Card Unavailable" and description "Apple Pay services are currently unavailable. Please try again later." I have tried several times today already, from morning to evening, with no success. However, this morning I was able to add the Apple Card to my iPad with no issues?

I have followed your step by step instructions 4 times and I still can’t add my Apple Card to my wallet. I keep getting the same message. I’m at my wits end. I tried to apply for another Apple Card thinking that might solve the problem but I wasn’t allowed to. Maybe I should call Goldman Sachs and tell them to cancel my current card so that I can apply for another. Do you have any suggestions?

Tried this steps 2 times, still when trying to apply for Apple Card in wallet it still says “Apple services not available”. However, I see my previous Apple Card that got disabled once I paid off air pod max, still in the “previously cards” and it doesn’t let me to remove it saying “either Apple Card has a balance or user is offline”🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. So looks like it’s not letting to apply for new card because old cards roots are still wired deeply in the system, gotta find out how to completely uninstall it from system
