This means Apple has placed a temporary restriction on adding cards to your Apple Wallet. Apple's security policy allows adding up to 10 cards every 90 days or 5 cards every 24 hours. Please wait until either limit resets before trying to add your Halocard. If this still fails, please contact Apple directly to resolve the issue.


Google Pay


Before you begin, make sure you have an Android phone with NFC, Google Pay app installed, screen lock enabled and your Halocard card details handy.


  1. Open the Google Pay app.
  2. Tap Add a card.
  3. Select Debit or credit card.
  4. Tap Enter details manually.
  5. Enter your Halocard detais including Card number, Expiry date and CVV.
