History
In 1937, Tom Molloy, a reporter turned labour leader organized and created the Regina Co-operative Savings and Credit Union, which later came to be named Sherwood Credit Union.{{Cite encyclopedia |url=https://esask.uregina.ca/entry/molloy_tom_1883-1959.jsp |title=Molloy, Tom (1883-1959) |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan |publisher=Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina |year=2006 |access-date=2022-08-09}} Sherwood Credit Union (later Conexus Credit Union) in 1976 implemented the first automated teller machine in Canada at its two branches in Regina.{{cite news |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/1994030/10-things-you-might-not-know-about-saskatchewan/ |title=10 things you might not know about Saskatchewan |last=Giles |first=David |work=Global News |date=2015-05-27 |access-date=2022-08-09}} The project was developed for Sherwood Credit Union by the IT staff of CIS (Co-operative Insurance Services - later CGI) under contract to Saskatchewan Cooperative Credit Services (later Saskcentral). This venture involved cooperation from IBM Canada.
