AFAIK no Australian Banks provide an OFX_Direct_Connect connection except through selected software providers (MYOB, Xero etc). I queried the CBA about it several years ago and their response was that they regarded OFX_Direct_Connect as a security risk unless the authentication process was protected by an agreement between the bank and the software provider and hard coded into the software, whatever that means. My guess is that this gets down primarily to supplying an appropriate fee to the bank for the right of your software to connect.
Eg CBA website at present: Eligibility for Bank Feeds Here is what you’ll need to set up a bank feed: To be registered with NetBank or CommBiz. Below are the following accounting software packages which support bank feeds: If you use NetBank, you’ll need to be a customer with: Xero MYOB Intuit QuickBooks If you use CommBiz, you’ll need to be a customer with: Xero MYOB Intuit QuickBooks Reckon BGL Class Super I made equiries about what would be required to make GnuCash eligible but received no reply. I might try them again and see if I get a better response.
