Debit card "not accepted by app"

I want to make an instant transfer from the Apple Cash card to one of my accounts, but the Wallet app says that debit card is "not accepted by app." What does that mean? Why not?

Yeah, I actually figured out the answer shortly after I posted: the card in question is a Discover card and the Apple Cash mechanism is only fully compatible with MasterCard and Visa. Alas.

Check if this helps -> Transfer money from Apple Cash to your bank account.

Not sure what you mean by resetting your phone (different people mean different things when they say that), but I'd try removing the card from Apple Wallet and adding it back in again.

I have a Mastercard but it still won’t accept it. My bank for some reason isn’t connected with apple wallet. But I’ve had my card on my phone before in Payment & delivery settings. So I can download apps but it won’t let me. Sometimes it says my payment was declined. But I’ve always got money in my bank and when I connected a card it doesn’t take money out unless I’m buying something in the apps. Someone tell me it’s my bank and I need a new debit card, I’ve tried resetting my phone but that hasn’t work either. Any help will be much appreciated. Merry Christmas
