• If you are getting a message that Apple Pay services are unavailable at this time, sign out of your Apple ID and back in.

Hi, welcome to the Apple Users Community.

Please follow the instructions and contact your card issuer or bank. They can authorize adding the card to your Apple Pay. It's a security feature at their end.

Best of luck
