For part of my project, i need to do import data in the OFX format. Trouble is that no one has really done much, apart from one library (http://www.nsoftware.com/ibiz/ofx/) but from what i heard, it wasn’t very good. I found this article, http://www.west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/10491.aspx, where some guy seems to be having similar troubles. Had a look around and hes started a project called sharpCash where he has done an implementation of OFX import. Spent the day poking around and its seems to be a good starting point. Currently working on my own implementation, will keep posted on any discoveries i have!

Hey,
If you want, you can use Wesabe (www.wesabe.com) to make OFX importing easier. Our API allows you to upload bank statements in almost any format, and we then export them in XML, CSV, Excel, a cleaned-up version of OFX/2, and other formats. We also provide tools for automating the download of your data from almost any bank.
(Wesabe is free, and you don’t have to use our site features in order to use the API.)
The API is documented here if you’re interested:

Hope this helps.
