I have had my debit card verified by phone three times now by my financial institution. Everytime I restore my phone or in this case I got the iPhone 7 and its saying my card needs to be verified again. This is in addition to needing another verification when I added Apple Pay to my Apple Watch. Is it normal for Apple to require verification of the same card multiple times when adding the card to a different device?

Hi
Your card issuer (rather than Apple) decides whether or not verification is required when adding your card to a new device (or when adding it back to an existing device that it has previously been removed from).
It may help to regard verification as a reassuring security measure, rather than an inconvenience.
Also note that the process is not about verifying the card.
The verification process instead focuses on confirming that it is you, not someone else, who is trying to add the card to a device.
Apple Pay card needs verification
