Basically, OFX DirectConnect also supports payments, and a few years back 
there were plans to add support for this to Libofx...

It is just a question of creating the appropriate request and parsing the 
response from the bank.

I would be interested in implementing this in aqofxconnect but I wouldn't have 
any way of testing this... And working on OFX DirectConnect isn't much fun to 
begin with, since one can never be sure how the banks handle the specs :-/
