I tried to add funds to my PSN account with my debit card. but seems like it did not work.

it showed "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later."

and also i found there's $1 pending transaction on my bank account.

WTH is going on?

how can i fix this problem?

and I'm pretty sure the billing info on my PSN account is EXACTLY as same as the one on me bank statment.

Its a problem that hits people randomly. It's been happening to people for as long as i can remember. The pending transaction that has gone from your account is just a test transaction to make sure your card was ledgitimate and will be debited back to your account within 7 days. The best way forward is just to buy PSN cards. You can get them from most gaming shops and major supermarkets. They can also be bought online from sites like Amazon and shopto.net. If you buy them online you'll be emailed the redeem code as soon as payment has been received and sometimes you can actually get them cheaper than the value of the PSN card.

The transaction pending is the way that PSN validates your account. It attempts to withdraw, then deposit £1 or $1 then refund it.

 If you are unable to do it yourself on the PS3, try waiting 24 hours as you may have inadvertantly triggered the lockout. (several attempts that fail will lock it for 24 hours). If after waiting it still doesn't work, give customer support a call and see if they can help. The EU numbers are available here.

If after 24 hours you still can't add funds then phone your bank. They may have flagged it up as a fraudulent attempt and blocked it. I've had that happen to me a couple of times now.
