iOS 16.7.5 iPhone 8 Plus wallet doesn’t work for payments in retail stores

After iOS 16.7.5 update on my iPhone 8 Plus, Wallet doesn’t work with contactless payments in retail stores. It keeps saying “Hold Near Reader” and won’t communicate with the POS terminal.

Contactless payments don't work on iPhone 13 After iOS Update Hello, Since updating to iOS 18.3.1, I've been unable to make contactless payments with my iPhone 13. Previously, there were no such issues. Even after updating to iOS 18.4, the problem persists. The issue arises in stores when I double-click and it prompts me to "hold near reader", but the reader fails to recognize any of my cards. I should mention my iPhone was designed for the Chinese market, and I currently reside in the EU. However, I don't believe this is related to the issue, as NFC technology is standardized and I experienced no problems before the iOS 18.3.1 update.

Experiencing exactly the same thing as SkinnyMoo. Tried some suggested fixes from previous similar issues, but no joy.
