Hell yes. I've been writing API code for a bunch of bitcoin-related exchanges lately, and on reflection, it seems quaint that my bank doesn't offer an API, if only to do read-only queries of transaction history and balances. For instance, if I'm selling bitcoins on localbitcoins, and someone marks a payment sent, it'd be really nice if I could automatically verify at the bank-side, and then automatically release bitcoins to the buyer. The closest I could get to that, is if they (the bank) offered email notifications upon deposits, and I then parsed those to see if they were localbitcoins related. So yes, I'd probably use an API, but I wouldn't expect more than read-only access for average consumer accounts.
