Workable Prepaid cards to add money to Apple Cash

Why is it so hard to figure out which prepaid cards can be used to add money to Apple Cash? So far, it doesn't seem any answers from Apple or anyone. I have tried applying Serve Prepaid Debit Card and I could add it successfully as a Debit/Credit into my Wallet but it can't be used to add money to Apple Cash. In Apple Cash, it's listed as "Not enabled in App payment". I also tried to use it to pay electronically via my Wallet but Apple Pay rejected any transactions using it. Funny, it's still shown as one of the cards added to my Wallet.

Call the phone number on the back of the prepaid card and that will connect you to the bank that issued the prepaid card and ask if cash can be withdrawn from the card. That is essentially what is happening. Apple Cash is trying to withdraw cash from the prepaid debit account. I doubt many (if even any) will permit the transaction. It has overtones of money laundering.

How do you figure the companies/banks that support Apple Pay are scamming anyone? Prepaid cards are not scams. Federal banking regulations have allowed prepaid cards for years. The fact the some companies choose not to support a feature is not a crime or a scam.

i gave you from my experience the cards that work with apple wallet/pay. Some of these companies sell prepaid cards that don’t just not support Apple Pay, you cannot use the card on Apple at all!
