This is unfortunately, not an uncommon issue.

I can post more details tomorrow, but there is a configuration choice  
which OFX tag is used for selecting the Payee.  You might need to look  
into what the bank is actually providing, but you can try different  
values for this choice.

I'll restrain myself from simply suggesting choosing a different bank,  
since this type of problem sooner or later hits all providers.  The  
issue is that while the bank itself might or might not program it's  
website, it is almost certain that their OFX interface is most likely  
contracted out to a different provider, most likely unconnected to  
their basic website.

For the setting I referred to, open the account in the ledger, then  
edit the account, select the online settings tab, then the Import  
Details subtab.  Try the different options for the "Payee's name is  
based on contects of the OFS tag" dropdown.  (choices are Payeeid,  
Name, and Memo.)
