Failed to add Apple Pay card

Card check

The issuance of pension cards has already started, this is also a large issue size, despite the long transfer period (the transition should be completed by mid-2022.

The NSPK National Payment Card System and the operator of Mir communication cards, and Samsung Electronics provided users with the opportunity to connect Mir cards to the Apple Pay system, the NSPK release says.

Otkritie bank, Rosselkhozbank, Center-invest and Chelindbank are participating in the pilot project. At the moment, such a technological solution will be available to banks participating in the Mir payment card system for large-scale implementation in 2022.

As previously reported, in 2022 NSPK may offer the market its own solution for paying with a Mir card using a phone.

The joint operation of these systems was expected in mid-2017. Users, of course, appreciated the speed and convenience of this service after the launch of this card.

Instructions on many sites advise that when a failure occurs, the first thing to do is to make sure that your gadget supports working with a payment service. We believe this test is useless. If the version of the iPhone or iWatch was not suitable for working with Apple Pay, you simply would not be able to start the process of adding a card – there would be no corresponding button in Wallet.

But what you should check if a failure occurs is the version of the operating system installed on your gadget. If it is outdated, we recommend downloading the latest release and then rebooting the device.

In addition, you should make sure that at the time of pairing on the device:

• fingerprint sensor connected;
• a fingerprint is set to verify the user’s identity;
• Signed in to iCould.

If one of these conditions is not met, it will be impossible to use the payment service in principle.

If everything is in order with the gadget, but you cannot link a payment instrument to it, you should check the card itself. It must meet the following conditions:

• belong to Visa or MasterCard systems;
• be issued by a bank that cooperates with Apple Pay;
• supported by the service.

Today, more than 30 Russian banks and payment systems cooperate with Apple Pay. But it should be borne in mind that not all cards of partner banks of the system can work with it. Even if the card belongs to one of the two payment systems compatible with the Apple service, this does not mean that it can be digitized.

Why NFC doesn’t work

Does the apple pay system work without internet? This parameter should be taken into account if the apple pay payment system does not work for you and in order to know how nfc works. To perform transactions using Apple Pay, an Internet connection on the device is not needed – when paying, the data comes through the connection in the terminal. In this case, all cardholder data is not transferred to the recipients of the payment.

The NFC chip is out of order. The Apple Pay payment program uses an NFC chip. Such a module rarely fails. More often, the contact between the antenna disappears in it. The communication bracket, which is responsible for the transmission, is located in the right corner. It is a jumper.

This jumper has poor contact with the antenna, which is why the payment service often refuses to work. It is enough to press a couple of screws tighter and the problem is solved on its own. Sometimes clogged dust and debris interfere with the contact, then you need to unscrew the jumper by cleaning the contact and install the part.

1. You can find the part in service centers and workshops that buy iPhones.
2. You can order a jumper. There is nothing over the top technology.

Server connection error

Quite often, for this reason, apple pay does not work on iphone 6 or, if apple pay does not work on iphone 6s, and in general, nfc does not work on other devices either.

How to treat?

1. Force restart the device.
2. Erase settings (Settings – Basic settings – Reset settings).
3. Reset iPhone settings.
4. Reinstall firmware. After checking the operation of the device without restoring your phone from res. copies.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated. Here the most difficult thing is to check whether this system has worked? Although you can use Macdonalds and terminals.

You don’t need internet to pay with Apple Pay. But during the setup it is necessary. Check:

• whether your gadget is connected to the Internet;
• whether the connection is stable, whether the speed is sufficient;
• Whether the Apple ID entered on the device is valid.

In addition, one cannot discount such a circumstance as a possible overload of the company’s servers or malfunctions on them. Try to wait a while and try to bind again.

Other reasons

Many banks, in order to add a card to a payment service, require mandatory confirmation of this operation using a one-time SMS password. These include, for example:

• Sberbank;
• Alfa-bank;
• Promsvyazbank and some others.

If the SMS informing service (“Mobile Bank” or its equivalent) is not connected to your phone, the system will not be able to send you a password. Accordingly, the card binding will be impossible.

Speaking of balance. One of the fairly common reasons why a card is not added to Apple Pay is a banal lack of funds in the account. For successful binding, the card must have at least 1 ruble. If you have just received a card and have not yet had time to replenish its account, you will not be able to digitize it and enter it into the system.

When nothing helps

If, despite all the steps listed above and the checks made, you still cannot set up Apple Pay, we recommend that you contact Apple technical support. Residents of Russia can contact the company’s specialists at the round-the-clock toll-free number 8-800-555-67-34.

If you have the Internet at hand, you can go to the official Apple website and contact a support representative in the online chat. In some cases, this is more convenient than a telephone conversation, since it allows you to immediately send a screenshot of the error to the specialist.
