You can't transfer money to someone through Stripe unless they also have a Stripe account

#

And they need to be connected to your account through Stripe Connect

I tried that way, but connect account needs business info. Is there a way to create accounts for private users?

#

Yeah you can create a Connect account for an individual: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account-business_type

Stripe API reference – Create an account – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

They'll just need to provide info on them individually (ie sole proprietorship)

#

I tried it, but also for individual account business info are required. Proprietorship is a business account as well, I need private accounts

#

Well to be sent money you either have to be an individual doing business or a business doing business. That's really what Stripe is for

#

Not for sending private money transfers

#

ah ok, so there is no way to send wire transfers to privates, correct?

Correct
