Help!! Can’t add ANY cards to Apple Pay or Wallet

I was using Apple Pay and Wallet with no problems at all for about three or four weeks then all of a sudden, every time I try to add a card it won’t let me add any card at all. It says to contact the card issuer. These are some of the same cards that I had on there before and used with Apple Pay but I had to delete them now I’m trying to re-add them. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting I can find online about when you can’t add a card to the wallet I’ve done everything. Nothing works. I really need to get my Apple wallet up and working. Can somebody please help me figure out why it’s not letting me add any cards???

iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 26

Then you need to contact the issuer or bank for help as suggested.


If you had them there and then removed them, the bank or issuer may still think they are already added and will not allow a second addition attempt.


You must contact them and make sure they are not denying the card addition to the Wallet app.
