GnuCash doesn't talk to banks itself, it uses some glue.  I think the
problem is that the bit in between GnuCash and your bank may not know about
each other.

I'm guessing you're in the USA so maybe someone familiar with your bank's
distinction between accessing bank v credit card accounts will be able to
help.

Credit unions sound like they should offer people friendly banking and
generally do here in the UK, have you tried calling them?
