I get the error "Contact Card Issuer" or "Could Not Add Card" when trying to add a Halocard to my iPhone


If you are in a supported country and receive either of these errors, it means Apple has temporarily restricted you from adding cards to Apple Pay. 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 or try adding the card on a different device. If either 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.
  6. Review and accept the terms.
  7. Enter the verification code sent via SMS or email.


Once added, your Halocard will appear in your Google Wallet and can be used immediately for online and in person payments.
