If you're receiving an error when trying to add a card to Apple Pay stating "Card not added. Contact issuer for more information", here are a few steps and considerations you can follow to potentially resolve the issue:


Check Compatibility:

    • Ensure that your bank or card issuer supports Apple Pay. Not all banks or card issuers are compatible with Apple Pay.
    • Make sure your device is compatible with Apple Pay. For instance, older iPhone models do not support Apple Pay.


Verify Card Details:

    • Double-check to ensure that you're entering all the card details correctly, including the card number, expiration date, and CVV.


Internet Connection:

    • Ensure that your device has a stable internet connection, either via Wi-Fi or cellular data.


Update Your Device:

    • Ensure that your iOS device is running the latest version of iOS. Sometimes, updating can resolve compatibility or software-related issues.


Restart Your Device:

    • Try restarting your iPhone or iPad and then attempt to add the card again.


Check Restrictions:

    • Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Make sure that the "Adding Cards" feature under "Allow Changes" is not restricted.


Contact Your Card Issuer:

    • The error message suggests contacting your card issuer. This is because sometimes there might be security restrictions or other issues from the bank's end that prevent the card from being added to Apple Pay. They might provide specific guidance or take necessary actions on their end.


Reset Network Settings:

    • Sometimes, resetting network settings can help. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. (Note: This will erase all your Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings on your device.)





Contact Apple Support:

    • If none of the above solutions work, it might be a good idea to reach out to Apple Support. They might provide more specific guidance based on any recent issues or updates.

Remember, the key is to be patient and methodical when troubleshooting.

For now what I know is Bank doesn’t have a department who specially handle Apple Pay and I don’t know. Is it just in my country? Which is Malaysia here but apple keep requesting me to call the PNO PAYMENT NETWORK OPERATOR AND THEY DON’T HAVE THE NUMBER EVEN SO I HAVE TO SEARCH ONE BY ONE OF COURSE I CALLED THE BANK THE BANK DOESN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS DEPARTMENT. I CALLED TO MASTERCARD. AND Walah they hand me back to my bank. So for people who are trying to call Visa or master. Don’t think about it. And I see some people say Apple Pay is working. Nope it’s not For everyone yet at least not for me yet my bank support Apple wallet this is not the first time I use Apple wallet I try all the troubleshooting from Apple and Bank try all the troubleshooting at their end also for people to take note regarding the token I believe if you receive the message saying card not added please contact card issue certain times it’s because of the token because last year my first Bank Card I have added to too many phones and I need to go to the bank to reset the token but this card which I’m referring to to this year have already reset the token for tons of time from the bank and I confirm it’s not the token

I’m having the same issue as everyone else with not being able to add my card to my apple wallet . I believe the issue is with Apple and this is why; I was successfully able to add the same cards to my friend’s Apple wallet with no problem.


I reached out to my card issuer (chase) and they too were unsuccessful with adding the card to my Apple wallet. I was told by the card issuer they received a message stating my Apple account has a FRAUD alert on it which is preventing them from adding my card to the wallet on there end.


I reached back out to Apple support and was told I don’t have any alerts on my Apple account. And the message the card issuer provided was untrue.


Can someone tell me if a Fraud alert on an Apple account is really a thing and how do I get this resolved?

Hello, has anyone found a working solution for this. Adding the cards works on my old iPhone SE but not on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I tried updating to latest iOS, network resetting, adding the card from settings, and contacting my card issuer, but they don't know what to do and no other fixes work.


I also used to be able to add the card on my iPhone 11 Pro Max until it randomly stopped working.


Any fix?
