Tips

• Once you add your bank card information to your PSN account, it will be saved. This will automatically open your credit card details when you go to the PlayStation Store checkout page.
• A bank card can only be added to a primary PSN account. Credit card funds from the primary account can be added to the secondary account, which is usually the child's account, if parents want to restrict PlayStation Store and certain features.

Warnings

• Make sure your PSN account is password protected (that is, you are not automatically logged in) if you do not know who will be using your PlayStation. Your credit card information is stored on file, so anyone with access to the console can buy something from the PlayStation Store without your knowledge.
