In this article, we will discuss and walk you through how to add a credit card to your PS5. This will greatly make purchases easier for users plus a lot of other convenient options it brings. The PlayStation Store as it should rightly be is the biggest library of PlayStation products, from games to items. A lot of these items and some games are free for users who have PSN accounts but the majority of the games are not. Sony Interactive Entertainment has provided lots of payment options for users to make purchases more convenient. Talking about convenience, one of the easiest ways you can purchase games and other items from the PS Store is through a credit card.
Now, the credit card has a lot of details on it mostly put in place for reasons of security for both the user and all parties involved. Some of these security measures include credit or debit card PIN by the credit or debit card company, the unique card number on your credit or debit card, the checkout password, and your private transaction PIN. All these PINs and passwords are great for security but they cannot be easily memorized. Moreover, you might come across a great offer in the store that is available only for a limited time. Trying to input all these security checks, like typing in your credit or debit card number one digit at a time could make such an offer pass you by. In such a case, adding a credit card to your PS5 account is the way to go.
