Hi all.

Had a new card and account from American Express. Added new card to iPhone and Apple Watch. The card is verified and works fine on the Apple Watch but will not verify on the iPhone.

American Express don’t know how to fix it because all they can see is that my card and account are authorised for Apple Pay (as evidenced by the fact it works on my watch).

I’ve tried removing and re-adding the card to no avail.

I’ve also tried Apple support but they were unwilling to help until I had downgraded from the latest public beta. However I am now running the gold master of 13.5 and my card will still not activate.

Has anyone seen this before and know how to get around being stuck on verifying the card?

Many thanks.

M.
