You do actually need the bank's permission to enroll a card for Apple/Android Pay, it is a feature they have to support.

It is today with different added features, but back in the 2010s you didn't need your bank to support it. You could do it with your VISA/Mastercard/AMEX credit or debit card.

In what country? I tried to add my cards to Google Pay the day it came out and some were allowed and others weren't.

That's probably because Google Pay was second gen w/ additional features. Google Wallet accepted all my bank (credit union) debit and credit cards.
