These importers are intended merely as examples and aren't supported as general importers. The OFX importer, in particular, is based on a particular use case and is not a general purpose thing that would work in every case.
I suggest you use one of the OFX libraries on github to build yourself an importer that will support the tags your particular institution yields. (Unfortunately, there's a lot of variation between institutions, even within the format.)
