Unable to add a card as a payment method

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗

First, disable any VPN connections and restart your iPhone or tell Siri: "Restart".

You might want to start by checking your region: ▷ Open Settings ➢ General ➢ Language & Region ➢ Region.

Now, here’s the fully detailed procedure to adding a card: ↓

Try the following:

• Be sure to activate your card before attempting to add it to Apple Wallet.
• Be sure card has not expired.
• Be sure to verify all information on the card matches exactly.

—Apple Pay Support— * Set up Apple Pay. * Pay Participating Banks.

If none of those work, then try linking the payment method:
