It's possible to download data from just about any online banking site and import it into GnuCash, but it might involve either a manual download using a browser, or some fairly significant custom scripting. I've never found the time to do it myself, and my script would be fairly complex (involving multiple accounts at multiple locations). I do know at least one person who has actually gone to the effort of writing custom Perl code to download and his banking data, and runs it from a weekly cron job, though, so I'm sure it can be done.
