Yes. See ofx.py, available via http://jongsma.org/gc/scripts/ofx.py

The discover card info is even one of the preprogrammed sites. The  
site address data in the script seems to agree with the mid-May  
collection of bank data available through the Microsoft Money  
developer info.

It helps if you know what Quicken or Money will use to identify you  
to the data site. Sometimes login ID and password for the data  
downloads is the same as the ones used to view the data via another  
part of the web site, sometimes the authentication keys are  
different. Check the setup help for Quicken/Money downloads to see  
what the site uses.
