Got it, thanks! The reason I ask is because so many of the community/group/club management systems I've evaluated in the past do monthly *invoicing* but don't auto-debit (or if they do, they're pretty terrible at everything else). It looks like some of the pay gateway options that CiviCRM supports allows for auto-debit, which is good news.
We're at the tail end of a migration from our old billing system and it's one of those things that I wish we'd done a few years ago. Doing it at the scale of hundreds of members has been one of the most time consuming processes I've ever been through.
