2. Tap the plus (+) icon. It’s usually located in the upper-right corner of the screen.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll be prompted to enter your card details, such as the card number, expiration date, and security code. You might also need to verify your card with your bank.

On iPad:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and select “Wallet & Apple Pay.”
3. Tap “Add Card.”
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your card details and verify your card.

On Mac (with Touch ID):
