"Could Not Set Up Apple Pay"

[alfista]

Trying to set up Apple Pay on a fresh install of iOS 9b3, and watchOS 2b3, and getting this error when I click 'Add Credit or Debit Card':

"Could Not Set Up Apple Pay

An error occurred while setting up Apple Pay"

any ideas? I've seen tips to remove/re-add iCloud account, but I don't really want to do that (4gb of photos to re-download).

Thanks

Which financial institution are you trying to add?

Hi Xiph0s - at the moment, I only have a Chase card loaded into my iPhone.

Actually, no, LOL. I hadn't added any cards after the reload (weird), but....

I added two cards (both with chase) and got the same error after each, when it offered to enable them on the watch.

so I just bit the bullet and signed out of iCloud. This isn't that important, but its really bugging me.
I added a chase card that it 'had on file' by entering the security code. Then it wanted me to log in with my apple ID, which I did. This was my iCloud apple ID, not the one I use for iTunes purchases. It took about 5 minutes of spinning, but then finished.

Trying again, it complained twice it couldn't connect to the watch, and then repeated the above error message. Rebooting watch now...

No luck. Same error. Maybe I'll repair...
