To provide our customers with more credit card security, Sony Online Entertainment has partnered with Visa and MasterCard. Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode have now been added to our Station Store purchase flow.

Q. How will this affect SOE customers?

A. When adding new subscriptions, changing a subscription, or purchasing software from the Station Store, you will be prompted to join Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode. An application will pop up and prompt you to join the security program. Please enter all requested information. This is a secure site and only Visa or MasterCard will have your information.

After you have signed up for the security program, you will need to login again to verify that the card has been secured.

Q. How much does it cost to join Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode?

A. It is completely free to join Visa and MasterCard's security programs for online purchases.

Q. Why should I give Sony Online Entertainment my personal information?

A. The information requested for these programs is not stored on any SOE servers. These programs are provided by Visa and MasterCard. Only Visa and MasterCard will retain the information you provide for your security.

Please visit the Verified by Visa and Master Card SecureCode sign up pages for more information about these programs and how to sign up.
