Ganaz Named AgTech Finance Solution of the Year
We are honored to announce that Ganaz has received the 2023 AgTech Finance Solution of the Year award by AgTech Breakthrough.
Our team continues to work very closely with ag employers and HR professionals to understand challenges, barriers, and bottlenecks they face throughout the hiring process. These insights, coupled with our strong commitment to supporting the well-being of agricultural workers, drove the development of an innovative payroll card built for the realities of agriculture. Launched last spring, the Ganaz Payroll Card offers ag employers a streamlined and secure payment option, that is uniquely user-friendly for their unbanked workforce. The Ganaz payroll card enables employees to access their cardholder portal and features via text messaging so they never need to call the bank, download a mobile app, or open a bank account.
Shortly after, Ganaz announced another breakthrough in financial innovation - digital paystubs. Thanks to our ever-growing list of payroll software integrations, ag employers can now easily deliver digital paystubs to cardholders without requiring an email address or mobile app login.
This year, Ganaz released another valuable feature with digital remittances. The Ganaz payroll card is the first to offer farmworkers access to digital remittances with the ease of text messaging. This program saves H-2A employers and their crews from traveling far distances or waiting in long lines to cash checks and send money home. Opting for Ganaz digital remittances also significantly reduces fees for H-2A cardholders to ensure more of their precious earnings make it home to their families.
With the first payroll card designed to meet the unique needs and desires of agricultural workers, as well as their employers, Ganaz has continued to display the team's commitment to financial solutions that support growers and advance farmworkers.
Ganaz customers already see the tremendous value of deploying the Ganaz MasterCard® Payroll Card with remittances. NWFM, an apple and cherry grower in Washington, shares how having remittances as an integrated part of payroll cards helps its H-2A crew seamlessly send money home during harvest.
“Moving away from paper checks ensures the employee receives their money on payday without having to dedicate hours of work to it, and they’re able to send the money home within minutes of the deposit hitting their account, avoiding the long lines in town. Having this payroll card relieves stress from us both,” said Olivia Juarez, HR Manager at NWFM.
