Thanks.
A couple of things you might be interested in: We use AQBanking for OFX Direct
Connect imports, but if you import an OFX or QFX file we use
https://github.com/libofx/libofx.
The other is that there's a more up-to-date database of OFX Direct-Connect
supporting institutions at https://ofxhome.com. AQBanking retrieves its
connection parameters from there.
