Bashir Kazour at the Helm of UAE Office
The new United Arab Emirates office, based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), is being led by Managing Director Bashir Kazour.Â
With over two decades of experience in retail, capital markets, and technology, Kazour’s expertise is a significant asset for Taurus.
His background includes roles at the Royal Bank of Canada, Standard Chartered, and FIS, a prominent banking and payment technology provider.Â
Kazour’s diverse experience, especially in collaborating with clients ranging from sovereign wealth funds to family offices, positions him ideally to drive Taurus’ growth in the region.
Embracing Blockchain and Digital Assets

Kazour expressed his excitement about leading Taurus in this dynamic market, emphasizing the alignment of Taurus’ capabilities in custody and tokenization with the region’s needs.
This move is timely, considering the UAE’s recent advancements in regulatory frameworks for digital assets, such as establishing the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai.
