# Stripe Terminal use by connected accounts in different countries

Platforms can deploy Stripe Terminal readers to their connected accounts that are based in a different country. The connected accounts must have the `card_payments` capability, and the platform must create charges using one of the following:
* [Direct charges](https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/connect#direct)
* [Destination charges](https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/connect#destination-payment-intents) with the `on_behalf_of` parameter set to on the Connect Account. `on_behalf_of` allows you to settle in the Connect account’s local currency.
Connected accounts are only able to process card present charges in their local currency. For example, US-based Connect Accounts can only process `card_present` payments in USD.
