The gateways that carry this method do not agree on where it works, and each is right about itself. Adyen documents it in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Estonia, Spain and 13 more, while Airwallex documents it in the European Union. A gateway states the markets where IT has licensed and built the rail, not the markets where the rail exists, so the union recorded here — Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Estonia, Spain, the European Union, Finland, France, Greece and 10 more — is what somebody could reach across providers, not what any one of them will give you. Which countries you actually get depends on who you sign with.
Adyen files it under "Direct Debit", and states it supports Chargebacks, Disputes, Multiple partial captures, Multiple partial refunds, Partial captures, Partial refunds, Recurring, Recurring payments and Separate captures. Its catalog is the one place in this industry that publishes a method's countries, its processing currencies and its settlement currencies separately, which is the difference between what a customer can be charged in and what a merchant can be paid in.
