I recently used ofxstatement https://github.com/kedder/ofxstatement to convert 
xls files from my bank to ofx files that gnucash can import. The problem is 
that, unless you are very lucky to find a plugin that works for your bank, you 
have to write a small python plugin for your data.
So if you are a bit confident with python this could be an option. Using 
provided examples to wrap up something working is not too hard: if I done it 
everyone can do the same :)
