It sounds like that might either (a) require a manual review of your account before allowing recipient agreements types, or (b) be flat out no allowed.

Either way, I can't really say, as we don't really have context on specific Connect feature supportability by country. Our support team will be able to assist you better than I can: https://support.stripe.com/contact/email

I seem to recall that recipient-only Connect accounts were gated and required a review of the account, so I would follow up with support, as I think they have to allow that for you.

Re. this question:

2. Is there a possibility to attach an already existing paymentMethod with card details, to an account? Nothing in the documentation points to that possibility, but rather points towards a creation of a bank account object
   Payment Methods are for Stripe Customers (e.g. consumers), whereas Connect accounts have to have a Payout account, which is a bank account

Thanks for the answer! This might be a stupid questions but is there no way to make transfers to customers, rather than having to also create an account in order to make payouts to them?

That's not a stupid question at all! Unfortunately the answer is: no. You have to create a Connect account in order to pay out to a person or entity other than yourself
