We are relying on LibOFX on this to support payments. Currently they aren't 
implemented there so we can't support it in AqBanking for now (with German 
HBCI this already works).

Well, Gnucash users might be interested in any of the backends, depending on 
their location (e.g. German HBCI/GeldKarte/DTAUS, Swiss YellowNet, OFX in 
US/CA/UK).

But most of them need real accounts to actually test them, because there is no 
test server (except HBCI for which their is such a server, thanks to Stefan 
Palme from Hbci4Java).

As for frontends: You don't need additional frontends to run Gnucash. As a 
matter of fact Gnucash does not even use my GTK2 frontend, so you don't need 
that, either. 
The only frontend Gnucash relies on is qbanking, because the QT frontend 
provides the setup wizard which is called by Gnucash.
