BankPozitif Partners with Taurus for Crypto Custody Amid Fintech Boom

Turkish digital bank BankPozitif today announced a strategic partnership with Taurus SA, the leading provider of enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure. The collaboration positions BankPozitif to expand its banking capabilities into digital assets and cryptocurrency services as Türkiye’s fintech sector experiences record growth.

Through this collaboration, BankPozitif will implement two of Taurus’ flagship solutions:

  • Taurus-PROTECT™: The industry-leading digital asset custody platform for cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and digital currencies, available in hot, warm, and cold configurations
  • Taurus-EXPLORER™: A comprehensive blockchain node and indexing infrastructure enabling connectivity to both public and permissioned blockchains

This strategic initiative positions BankPozitif at the leading edge of Türkiye’s digital asset landscape, where growing institutional demand is driving the need for sophisticated banking infrastructure. The partnership arrives as Turkish authorities advance regulatory frameworks for digital assets, creating new opportunities for regulated financial institutions.

Dr. Erkan Kork, Chairman of BankPozitif, said: “As we focus on innovative products and expand our investments in digitalization, this partnership with Taurus represents a significant step in our digital transformation journey. The Turkish banking sector has reached a size of 30 trillion Turkish Liras, and we’re seeing unprecedented opportunities in fintech innovation. By implementing Taurus’ cutting-edge infrastructure, we’re positioning BankPozitif to meet growing institutional demand for digital asset services.”

“Türkiye represents one of the most exciting markets for digital assets globally and we are proud to have opened a Taurus office in Istanbul to support our partners locally,” said Bashir Kazour, Managing Director at Taurus.

Lamine Brahimi, Managing Partner at Taurus, added “The combination of high adoption rates, increasing institutional interest, and constructive regulatory frameworks creates good conditions for innovation in digital asset banking. This partnership with BankPozitif demonstrates our commitment to supporting Türkiye’s ambitious goals in the digital asset space while providing the security and compliance capabilities that institutions require.”

The collaboration enables BankPozitif to offer institutional-grade digital asset services to meet growing demand from both retail and corporate clients, while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards as Turkish regulations evolve.
