An ongoing outage on Wednesday has resulted in Apple Wallet rejecting Mastercard enrollments for a portion of users.
Beginning around 6:54 am ET on Wednesday, Apple’s System Status page reported that an issue has occurred for some users trying to set up new Mastercard payment options for Apple Pay.
While the initial error was resolved at 4:23 pm ET, another of the same nature emerged at 5:10 pm ET. It is not known if Apple Card, which is also powered by Mastercard technology, is similarly affected.
One AppleInsider staffer was able to add a Mastercard to the Wallet app, suggesting the issue may have limited spread.
The series of outages for Mastercard happened on the same day as the rollout of fraud prevention features for Apple Pay. Available for iPhone and Apple Watch, the device will utilize Apple ID, device, and location to assess for the possibility of fraud.
However, the fraud prevention feature, now live in Apple Wallet, is only available for Visa cards.
