Transferred to iPhone 14 - not letting me add cards to wallet

Last question and I’ll explain what is going on. When you add the card data (by whatever methods) Apple Pay has to verify that the card belongs to you. In order to do this Apple Watch (in very simplistic terms) contacts the bank. You’ll be asked enter a verification number. The verification number comes to you via TXT/message, email or voice.

Are you receiving any of the verification messages from the bank?

Have you done a forced restart of your iPhone? Not just turning it of and back on. But a forced restart.

Basically hold both the Digital Crown and side button in (at the same time) and do not release until the white Apple logo appears. The screen will go black and after maybe 30 seconds the while logo appears. You have to hold both buttons in until the logo appears then you let go. IPhone will restart and try again. If the don’ t get a verification notice/option, it’s on the banks end. Apple Watch is transmitting, but not getting a response from the bank.

Yes, and could be the solution. However, it’s a fair to start questioning the bank and asking why they are not responding with a verification. I’m sure the first tier support will have to raise the issue to engineering and it could be days before they want to pull the records.

Deleting the Wallet is nearly the nuclear option. Some data from loyalty cards may be saved, but usually any airline passes, concert/movie tickets etc. have to be added again. No guarantees it’ll work. That’s why I’m suggesting calling the bank and hopefully they’re on top of this issue.

Do you have any other credit cards or debit cards in your Wallet? If so, you could try removing that card and then re-adding the card. If it works, again, probably the bank. If you can’t add the card, could be hardware issue or OS issue.

What iOS is you new iPhone on? Do you still have your old iPhone 11 Pro?

When you try to add the card, are you manually entering all the information?

I suspect the issue is with the bank. Do you have the card on any other devices, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac? AS a last resort, remove from all other devices and then try adding to the new iPhone. If you still don’t get a verification request, it’s likely the bank.

Another option for further verification is delete the Wallet app, do a forced restart, and download the Wallet app again.
