I receive transactions from my bank and a number of different credit 
cards just fine.  There was one credit card I wasn't able to download 
transactions for.  I don't use bill pay features, but apparently they 
are supported.  It isn't as easy to set up as Quicken but if you pay 
attention to details on the Wiki it shouldn't be terribly difficult.  It 
depends on your bank too though.
