History

MyState was founded as a Credit Union in Tasmania, Australia under the name Connect Credit Union, which was created from the merging of two credit unions, the Teachers, Police and Nurses Credit Union and Savings & Loans (Credit Union Cooperartive).[8]

Connect Credit Union attempted to demutualise in 2003 but failed when just 13,000 of its members voted, unable to reach a quorum of 75% of members voting.[9]

In 2007 the members of Tasmania's two largest credit unions agreed to a merger, creating MyState Credit Union out of Island State Credit Union and Connect Credit Union.[10] In 2009 MyState Credit Union merged with Tasmanian Perpetual Trustees, demutalising at the same time to list on the ASX.[11]

gollark: This is where the advice to have complex passwords come from, although it's actually terrible because "arbitrary dictionary word plus some weird characters" is low entropy.
gollark: If your password contains enough random information in some way, it takes unreasonable amounts of computing time/attempts to bruteforce, so you can't really.
gollark: This is called "brute force".
gollark: So, a significant danger for passwords is that someone might have the ability to try *lots* of possibilities *very fast* and eventually find the right one.
