I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem consistent with standard
security and privacy online.
Again, with Australian banks, its usually not "buyer beware" but
"depositor and borrower beware".

What I was finding implied that there was no useful way for Gnucash to
deal with banks (in AU) if they change to WebConnect only for
downloading transactions.

It does smell like a privately run version of the UK's Making Tax
