Sorry, but nope, and the airlines have the same sort of security protocols in place.
Bank of America has a new system called "My Portfolio" that does almost precisely this; for obvious reasons they limit the transactions to 'within BofA', but they login, get your account stats, and make a pretty little graph of your assets and debt.

So, yeah, it's possible.
