you can do this using Connect and using our application fee feature. You can read about this here.

https://stripe.com/docs/connect
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
e.g. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges#application-fee

directly into another persons bank account, defined by account number, sort code and name.
that's impossible, you need to create a Stripe account and KYC the recipient to comply with things like anti-money-laundering regulations

I dont want to have to pay each person individually when I get the money into my stripe account
it's more that you make the API call that accepts the payment, and that automatically routes between your account and the recipient's one, and they get paid out from their own Stripe account.

Okay, so the user has to have a Stripe account to be listed as a connected account?
