How to fix "Unable to connect to Samsung Pay temporarily"?

I'm trying to setup Samsung Pay on a new Galaxy A8 2018 but I get this error message every time, even after re-installing Samsung Pay and resetting the phone as well as clearing Samsung Pays data. > **Connection Error** > > Unable to connect to Samsung Pay temporarily. Try again later. I've looked through the Samsung Account data and entered all I could. The phone has "Magyar" as default region when I start it, could that be it? I don't have any SIM card in it but when I try putting one in I still get the same error message. " class="img-fluid rounded" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 10px 0;" loading="lazy">
