I read about it.
Home banking (other terms are Tele-Banking, Internet-Banking) is very
usual in Germany and Austria.
You can get your bank account statements including the attached
documents via internet in differents forms - html, xml, csv, edifact. At
a small NGO (http://www.vibe.at/index_en.html), where I am member of the
board and responsible for financials, we use this interface
semi-automatically. This allows a paperless ledger. A guy of us has
written a simple ledger in PHP + PostgreSQL, Web-Interface, where you
can click the reference of a transaction, and you can see the original
document.
