Yes (personal experience), in some, but not all, cases. If you've authorized it, or if the bank that holds your regular accounts is also the issuer of the credit card, then yes, they can take money from your regular accounts to bring your credit card payments up to date if you are behind in your payments. They can usually only take enough to bring the minimum payment up to date though.

Have a look at the credit agreement you signed when you applied for the credit card; It's in the fine print. So is a description of what circumstances must occur before they can do it.

Technically no, normally a credit card puts things 'on credit'. Your bank is paying for the PSN credit. But you now have to repay the bank sometime. (Credit cards can be loaded with funds, that money would be spent if used in the above way, and you would not be in debt to your bank).

How do banks make money from credit card companies?

Banks Making Money Off Credit Card CompaniesIf a bank agrees to take your deposit, they don't keep it all in the bank. Because only a small percentage of the bank customers will demand their money at any given time, a percentage of all deposits, called vault cash, is kept on hand. The rest is loaned out, so that it can earn interest. Some of this cash is loaned to credit card companies, so that they can finance the purchases their customers make, until the customer pays the credit card company back. Actually, most credit card companies are organized as banks, so that they are regulated in a different way than regular companies. Because of the way the American accounting system works, the more money that is owed a company or a bank, the more that the company or the bank is worth. Even though the debt may be uncollectable, it can still be shown as an asset on a balance sheet. So, the more money that the credit card company can loan out, the more money the credit card company is worth. (on paper.) This is why we are constantly receiving offers for credit cards, even if we have just declared bankruptcy.To read more, visit:http://www.tradingstocks.net/html/banks_create_money.html
