Ganaz Ganaz, a people management platform for agriculture, announced the launch of “Envíos con Ganaz” powered by Remitly. In its continued efforts to help create safer, fairer, and more profitable workplaces while providing the financial services needed to help workers forge a path out of poverty, Ganaz is integrating a remittance service into its Ganaz MasterCard® Payroll Card.
