@stark ridge Yes you can have connected account based in Australia and collect their bank account details so that their funds are received in their bank account.
I'm not sure if that was your question though as a "direct debit" is more "someone gives you their bank account details so you debit them for a service you offered"

Thanks @stone pulsar you're a gun. So to provide more context, our service is the middle man and the use case that we're examining is being able to BOTH debit a customer of our service using BECS, as well as pay that money out to the recipient of that customer's services as a Connected Account using BECS as well (taking our fee in the process). Is that possible?
stone pulsar
yep totally possible then.
To charge the Customer's bank account you use: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/au-becs-debit
And to send funds to that connected account, it's just "normal Connect" really where as a platform you get another individual/company to create an account and connect it to your platform. As part of signing up they enter they bank account details to receive those funds: https://stripe.com/docs/connect

right i see
are the fees on the Connect side the same regardless of the payment method type (e.g. credit card, direct debit etc)
stone pulsar
the "payment method type" matters for the fee we take as part of the payment. There isn't anything specific to Connect in that case
stark ridge
Ok so you can just configure the available payment methods when a user signs up for Connect
stone pulsar
Kind of, but I feel like you have a meta question behind your question and I don't really get what it might be
stark ridge
I probably do but I don't know what it is either 😅
stone pulsar
😅 hard to help you but overall it will really "just work"
stark ridge
Maybe the extreme version of the question is, can i limit all the payment methods that my customers / connected accounts can use to just BECS Direct Debit
stark ridge
Ok great. And just to confirm, with a Connected Account, am I able to set it up on behalf of the users who will receive payments from my customers?
stone pulsar
I think so? Sorry the wording is quite confusing again and there are multiple ways to read that sentence so I'm not really certain what you mean by that
