That's good to know.  We tend just to hear about what doesn't work.

Are you still talking about CSV import for the importing?  If so, is
your remoteAccountNumber in a separate column?  If this is the case,
have you tried specifying that column as the payee/detail?  It's also
possible to have it copy a memo column to the payee column (or vice
versa), by giving the same column number to both fields.

I would suggest you open a bug on https://bugs.kde.org with the
'Importance' and 'Normal - Wishlist'.

Our main developers at the moment are beset by work-work, so extra help
is always very welcome.  You can get the latest source from git via
 git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kmymoney (creates a kmymoney folder
 under your Git folder.), once you get yourself a login Id.

Have a look at /kmymoney/kmymoney/kmymoney.cpp for the main program,
and /kmymoney/kmymoney/converter for mymoneystatementreader.cpp and
transactionmatchfinder.cpp.
