Can't add card to Apple Pay

Today my bank started supporting Apple Pay in Canada and when i go to my banks website it says the card i have is comparable with Apple Pay, but when i try to add it i keep getting messages like " card no supported" "cannot connect to Apple Pay" and "could not add card". I know for a fact my card is supported and I've been trying to add it since this morning.

Solved by Apple Genius chat: sign out of iCloud. Keep my files and settings. Type in password to turn off find iPhone. Reboot iPhone (not sure if that was necessary) by holding power button and sliding to power off and then powering on again. Sign in again to iCloud and eventually add card to Apple Pay again.


Also turned off the iPad and watch during this time (not sure if that was necessary).


It remembered the card this time and just wanted the security code after which it activated 10 seconds or so later.
