I live in france and my bank lets me download all (or a custom range of) my accounting history and my credit card history as either OFX, QIF or CSV. That's pretty neat and i can import it into Gnu Cash right away.

This is common in the US, too. I've been doing it for a long time. My current credit union offers some online customization of that, too.
