Duba-based digital bank Zand has signed a strategic partnership with Swiss crypto management platform Taurus to offer digital asset services. 
<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/switzerland/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Swiss</a> crypto management firm Taurus is now a “strategic partner” for Dubai-based digital bank Zand Bank as the financial lender wants to expand its crypto offerings and services tied to tokenized securities. 
Zand, licensed and regulated by the central bank of the UAE, said in a press release sent to crypto.news it will rely on Taurus’ crypto wallet services, both hot and cold, to offer custodian services for crypto, non-fungible tokens (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/nft/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFTs</a>), and digital currencies. Zand will also leverage Taurus’ products to issue and perform asset servicing “of any type of tokenized financial and real-world assets.”

Zand Bank CEO Michael Chan highlighted that the partnership represents a big advancement in the bank’s efforts to establish a “new benchmark” for digital asset services, aiming to expand its crypto offerings to customers.
