I keep getting message that my new bank card is invalid when trying to add to my Apple Wallet

To totally separate functions. Apple Wallet is utilized by Apple Pay, which is a payment service between your card in the wallet, through the merchant to the payment network (Visa, Mastercard etc.) and finally to your bank. Apple’s service protects your personal and financial information from hackers and scammers.

Apple Account is Apple the merchant storing your payment information for exclusive use on Apple.com/store and iTunes, App Store, and the myriad of products and services Apple offers.

It shouldn’t be an issue. The verification a merchant can do is much simpler. The verify by doing a zero balance inquiry, a BIN verification (or something similar) or a trial charge of a $1 or less.

What country are you in? Have you talked to the bank that issued the card? If so, what did they say?

I have same problem, also I did all steps that you telling until calling the bank, also I want it to issue a replacement for a lost card, and repeat all steps again, but still I can't add my new card, but when I add another card like the visa prepaid card or digital Visa card , the wallet app is adding on it so I sure is the problem not with my bank

so what you think where the problem ?

my version iPhone IOS 17.4.1

just when I do this version appeared to me this problem (can't add card in Apple Pay)

I’m having the same problem, I spoke to my bank they told me they will usually receive an error message when this happens to tell them what the problem is, but they’re not receiving any error message. They sent me a new card which I received this morning and it’s exactly the same! It’s so frustrating as I use Apple Pay a lot.

I just got a new phone and my debit card stopped working with Apple Pay. The card has not changed. I deleted it and tried to reenter it in Wallet and it keeps getting rejected as invalid. The only difference is my phone, therefore this seems like an Apple problem. I did call the bank and they could not see an issue, and confirmed the card is valid and active. So excited to figure out the resolution to the mystery...

Wondering if you figured this out?

I am getting this exact same error message and recently got a new device – this is unequivocally not an issue with my bank card or with any services they provide. This is an apple issue

an apple sr advisor said so- it had to be escalated twice- the proof is that my card number and details including exp date was the exact same; my device was replaced- that was only change and an apple sr advisor said as much.

they are currently helping me to fix

Same problem. Back and forth with Apple and the bank and one keeps blaming the other. Looks like an issue affecting newly issued card, since I was able to remove and re-add older ones (including one credit card from the same bank).

Don't even bother going through their 1st line troubleshooting (where they usually blame your device), it's a waste of time and effort.

This is something that needs to be sorted between Apple and Visa, I am very surprised they haven't acknowledged the problem yet.

I believe it's an Apple issue because I have exactly the same problem with the new card. Others seem to have the exact same problem also this year and very likely we don't share the same bank assuming we live in different countries

I am having this same issue. I have a new expiration. I deleted the old card, waited 10 days to try again. I am getting the invalid card message. I have contacted the bank 5 times, each time I get a new representative. They all say the same thing. There is nothing on their end that is causing this issue. I have been able to add this card to every other platform except apple wallet. I have even read through this post and used the words used here by Jeff Donald to have the bank reprovision the card. Again they say there is nothing on their end and they only solution they can offer is maybe get a new card and hope the new card can be entered. But the card works every where else. I'm assuming I'm just venting here as I will get the same response as everyone else that it is the bank and not apple.

Arent they both the same? Adding to apple account and then adding it to apple wallet. I know I added mine to apple account and it was fine at first then I scrolled to apple wallet and it said needs to be verified. Maybe theyre different.

Oh that makes sense. Its on apple account just not verified on apple wallet. Im worried it wont take my subscription on icloud + that comes out tomorrow because its not verified yet on apple pay. I do have money on the apple account though from gift cards. Sometimes I add money to it from my card to the account BUT I prob wont be able to add money to the account until I get apple pay verified I would think. Hence why I have to go in to the bank to have them verify it
