Not many really memorize all of their credit card details. You can remember your security code and expiration date with some training, but your credit card number will mostly fade away since most people have more than a single card at their disposal.

That’s why most payment systems, even your browser, ask you if you’d like to save your payment details so you can save time during your next purchase.
As convenient as it can be, storing your cards online can also have its drawbacks. There will be times that you’ll need to replace them with new ones due to expiring or losing them. You may even decide to remove it if your kid is getting old enough to make spontaneous purchases in games, which happens more than one would think.
It doesn’t matter if you’re running out of card slots, or just want to give your new bank a chance, the process of adding or removing a card will be the same on PlayStation 5.
Here’s how you can add or remove a credit/debit card onto PlayStation account through your PS5 and web browser.
PS5 requires you to connect to your PlayStation Network (PSN) account while you’re first setting it up. This means that your new console will have all of your payment details from your old one, and you will be able to make any adjustments to your payment preferences through your console.
Not many gamers will have access to their PS5s 24-hours a day. You may need to add a card during a flash sale or remove one to make sure your contribution to the next age of gamers doesn’t go crazy on Fortnite’s in-game shop.
Considering all of your information is tied to your PSN account, you’ll be able to make the necessary changes through a browser.
PlayStation is picky when it comes to accepting credit/debit cards. If yours is getting rejected despite being an accepted payment method, the chances are it’ll be due to a typo.
Ensure that you have all the correct numbers, and confirm your address with the one that your bank has listed for your credit card. Entering a different address than the one your bank provides for your credit/debit card will cause your PS5 to deny the payment method. If your address has special characters, replace them with the closest letters from the basic 26-letter Latin alphabet. Typing it all in capital letters can also be helpful.
PlayStation Store also doesn’t accept any payment methods that belong to another region. This means that if you have a US-based account, you won’t be able to add a European credit/debit card as a payment method. This is generally a measure taken against users that try to take advantage of slightly cheaper regional prices around the world.
If you don’t have a valid credit/debit card you can use on your dedicated PlayStation Store, then your only option will be to buy PlayStation Store Wallet Top-Up codes. These cards are usually available in retail stores and e-commerce platforms.
You’ll get a physical card if you decide to buy one from a store, and there will be a code inside which you’ll need to enter through PlayStation’s website.
You can also redeem your codes through your PS5.
Unless the seller states otherwise, the delivery speed is almost instantaneous for PSN Wallet Top-Up cards when purchased online. This is because you’ll be emailed the top-up code as opposed to receiving through delivery. These codes will be no different from those you’d get in a store, meaning the process of redeeming that will be the same.
