I was hoping to move away from a very old version of Quicken (with disabled connected services) to GNUCash but it appears that direct downloads via OFX does not work properly between USAA and GNUCash. At least that's the information I found searching on reddit and searching the gnucash-devel archives. The last post I was able to find in the email archives was from 2021. :(

I don’t think there’s any chance, and I don’t think switching banks is going to help. OFX DirectConnect is seriously insecure and nearly all US banks have shut it down. The new more secure access methods—especially Quicken’s—are proprietary and even the supposedly open ones require API keys that aren’t compatible with FLOSS like GnuCash.
