Answers.Text: It probably depends on the details. This extension automates a lot, which may or may not be what you want. If you want to be certain about your income in the system, then importing the contributions each month is more reliable, but if you just want to keep track automatically of a whole slew of reliable monthly contributions, then this might be what you want.

Answers.Text: This extension has quite a few features, as per the documentation. For the feature you want, you have to set up the "offline credit card" payment processor. The two items you encountered are a different feature.

Comments.Text: Unfortunately afaik there is no core function that allows users to "'declare' that they intend to make a monthly donation by bank transfer" using a contribution page. Pledges may be a way to do that in the backend and you could create a custom form. In general bank transfer workflows are not as deeply integrated with CiviCRM as other means of payment and/or you may have to use  a number of extensions to support your work.

Title: Recurring contribution (monthly) with 'Pay Later'
ThreadText: # Recurring contribution (monthly) with 'Pay Later'
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-07-13)
  
  Using 5.24.6 on Drupal - I have a contribution page for donations with the possibility to 'pay later' (bank transfer) or to pay by credit card (PayPal), and the possibility for choosing monthly payments (Recurring contribution).
  When a user chooses both monthly and pay later, they get the error 'You cannot set up a recurring contribution if you are not paying online by credit card.'
  
  How can I allow people to 'declare' that they intend to make a monthly donation by bank transfer?

  This extension solves your use case and was designed for that purpose and several other related ones:
  
  <https://github.com/adixon/ca.civicrm.contributionrecur>
  
  For example, you can track recurring offline payments (whether by bank transfer or other form of recurring payments that don't have a civi extension) by configuring it to auto-generate contributions for those offline payments. Then you just have a monthly reconciliation task to weed out the ones that didn't go through.
  
  It supports both credit card and bank transfer offline recurring payments (using separate 'placeholder' type payment processors).
