What formats/options does your bank offer for data-export?

GnuCash can do data-import for a couple of formats, but [except for
HBCI] won't really do anything "automatically".

HBCI is a German standard; banks outside Germany don't support it [?].

Apart from HBCI, there are two options which are basically "data-file
import":

* OFX -- import only; gnucash doesn't support DirectConnect.
 
* QIF -- Quicken Interchange Format.

As well, if you bank offers some custom CSV, you could wrangle that into
QIF yourself, and import that into GnuCash.
