Yes no problem...

They ****ed the files ! Open the Qif file with your favorite text editor 
  and replace the space between '!type' and 'Bank' with a semicolumn, ie :
!type Bank
becomes
!type:Bank

And it will work...

BTW I tried to found out where in the import code this keyword check was 
made to make it more tolerant on Bank interpretation of the QIF format, 
but wasn't able to figure where it was. If one of the gurus here have a 
hint I'd gladely welcome their patch.

HTH,
