That's exactly what I am currently doing manually, once a week. My
Credit Union can provide transaction records in QIF format, but there
doesn't seem to be a good way to use them with GnuCash. One of the
things I like about this combination of services is the amount of work
it saves; errors are caught early, and there is no need to laboriously
drag through a month or more of transactions to unsnarl mistakes.
