Updates for bank account transactions
I'm writing an application to assist with budgeting. One feature I'd really like is the ability to receive transaction updates from my bank account, but I'm having trouble finding information on how to do it. The website www.mint.com has this functionality. (you provide your bank and account information)
Is there a programming library that would allow me to access bank transactions?
Is there a feature from my bank's website that I could look for that would allow me to receive such updates?
Is there such a thing as an RSS feed, or even just email notifications, for each transaction from a bank?
Do you know of any free and open source application that already has this functionality?
Thank you.

Re: Updates for bank account transactions
Thank you very much. It looks like libofx is what I was looking for.
..it also looks like my goal will be a little harder to implement than I thought. 
I installed libofx, and started reading the documentation and source code for libofx and kMyMoney. If I can understand it enough I'll write a Python wrapper for libofx.
