– Expired or blocked card
– Incorrect billing information
– Bank security restrictions
– Apple Pay service interruptions
Gather evidence;
• Save screenshots showing:
– Payment error message
– Transaction attempt
– Linked card details (excluding sensitive information)
– Any notifications from your bank or Apple Wallet
• Keep:
– Payment receipts (if applicable)
– Bank or card statements
– Transaction timestamps
– Support conversations
Verify your payment method;
• Confirm:
– Your card is active and supported for Apple Pay

Contact your card issuer or Apple Support;
• Request:
