Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with setting up Apple Pay. I am happy to offer some articles to help.

1. Please verify you are in a supported region: Countries and regions that support Apple Pay - Apple Support

2. Please verify you are using a compatible device: Apple Pay is compatible with these devices - Apple Support

3. Please ensure you are using a supported card: Apple Pay participating banks in Canada, Latin America, and the United States - Apple Support

4. Please ensure your device is updated to the latest version of iOS, watchOS, or macOS

5. Ensure the Apple ID used for Apple Pay is signed in to iCloud: Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

6. After verifying that info, please verify you are setting this up correctly as per this help article: Set up Apple Pay - Apple Support

Hope this Helps!

If the bank didn’t contact you via email or text, the issue is with the bank. Your bank, >not Apple< is trying to contact you. The bank uses the information you gave them to prevent fraudulent activities on your account.

In other words, your bank does not have current contact information for your account. Please contact your bank via phone and update your information. It is imperative that the bank delete old information and make new/current information the primary contact. Many banks just add new information and do not make the updated information the method of contact for verification.

Even if both accounts are with the same bank, there is no assurance that both bank accounts have the same contact information. I understand this doesn’t seem logical. However, this has been confirmed by many community members.
