Have you looked at:
  
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2
  
There are several approaches referenced on that page:
  
    1. Finding it with Quicken
        Run a trial version of quicken, connect to your bank, and
        read the parameters out of the connection trace log. It's
        a bit cumbersome to set up, but they seem to have a pretty
        complete database.
  
    2. There are parameters for a few (12?) banks listed on
        http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings
  
    3. The jongsma script procedure as listed on the wiki page
        of item 2 above. This only downloaded a small subset of the
        information for me; you might have better results. I didn't
        spend time investigating/debugging the scripts.
