No joy here either. Two HSBC debit cards and error "Card cannot be added. Please contact card issuer"

WHY HSBC WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

WHY HSBC WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

A phrase featuring piss-up and brewery comes to mind.

HSBC debit card. Managed to add it to watch via watch app. But not to my phone. Better than nothing I guess…

 

[adriancmr]

FirstDriect card added to both iPhone and watch without any problems.

 

[skwood]

Working after I called them and they switched something on

 

[mporcheron]

I rebooted my phone and it worked for both my fd cards

I have just tried again and it worked! Email verification done iOS 9 dev beta

 

[Hardbattle]

Just added my First Direct card (which is the card linked to my iTunes account) - worked flawlessly.

 

[dbrose]

I think server overload

 

[OllyW]

Finally got my First Direct debit card on, I'm now waiting for them to send me the verification code.

Worked on my watch, not on the phone - so I'm happy, as I haven't yet used my phone for Apple Pay.

Same here..tried removing and re-adding the credit card, still the same.

Same here..tried removing and re-adding the credit card, still the same.

Phone them up and ask to speak to the Apple Pay team

They have advisors from Apple in their call center talking them through the process.

Same for me, debit card activated immediately but credit card still activating.

I was able to add my HSBC debit card first time round without hassle. Having tried multiple times to add it to my watch it still isn't working. I've just tried again several times with the same message to contact card issuer. I can't contact them as I'm overseas. It makes no sense that I was able to add it to my phone but not my watch. After the two delay this just takes the biscuit. They better get it sorted soon.

Since my first use in Costa failed I've had 100% success since with my Natwest debit. Was mildly irritated our quick shop in Waitrose came to £21 today

Take something off and run it through separately

 

[markhort]

I tried to put through £22 in Boots yesterday. Didn't work. They haven't removed the £20 limit but they will be soon, so I was told by one of their staff.

 

[OllyW]

Still waiting for the email with the verification code.

 

[Crazy Badger]

I've added my First Direct Credit Card and entered the verification number sent via SMS but it's still showing as "Your card is being activated"

Can't quite understand everyones frustration and impatience though, as it's not like Apple or HSBC have taken something away. Just continue to use the plastic until it's up and running

 

[Gallag]

Just keep getting Verification Not Available on my FD debit card. Rebooted phone to no avail. Server overloaded maybe?

 

[Jordanbanimator]

It's the principal of the matter.

First Direct debit added flawlessly. First Direct credit card on the other hand is still stuck activating. Guessing they have to do something their side to approve.
