DirectConnect depends on libofx, so it only downloads (can't initiate any payments with it yet). As for security, it is as secure as SSL normally is. You get the opportunity to inspect certificates before approving connection to servers. There are some issues with downloading securities (stocks) transactions during the import to gnucash phase. And my sample-of-one suggests that if your bank uses Yodlee as an intermediary for the QFX/OFX server, connection attempts are very likely to fail. I have used it successfully to connect to several credit card account servers and two different investment companies.
