Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, announced today that a new leadership team has officially taken office. Stephan Kuck, former CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, joins Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, with a focus on sales and revenue growth. The move aims to leverage significant market opportunities as Rubean continues to expand its footprint in Europe and the Americas.
Kuck brings extensive experience from the payment industry, having led Computop Paygate, one of Germany's leading payment service providers. His familiarity with Rubean stems from a long-standing collaboration between the two companies. "I look forward to working together and, above all, to Rubean now being able to better capitalize on its enormous opportunities in the market," said Pielage. Kuck added, "I know the company very well from the long-standing collaboration between Computop and Rubean, and I’m looking forward to further expanding the already significant growth."
Rubean replaces traditional card readers with a software app, enabling merchants to accept cashless and mobile payments without additional hardware. The company is already a market leader in Germany and Spain and has successfully entered markets such as Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, supported by major banks and payment service providers. Its expansion also extends to North and South America.
Dr. Hermann Geupel, former Chief Sales Officer, will remain with the company as Sales Director for the DACH region. Rubean plans to further expand its sales operations and strengthen existing partnerships. To finance these efforts, the company is considering capital measures.
Rubean’s SoftPOS solution, PhonePOS, is used by banks, acquirers, and merchants across Europe. It is the only SoftPOS solution supporting girocard (EC card) in large-scale deployments in Germany. The company is listed on m:access and over-the-counter trading venues, including XETRA. More information is available at www.rubean.com.
The leadership change comes as Rubean aims to capitalize on growing demand for contactless payment solutions. With Kuck’s experience and the company’s strong market position, Rubean is poised for continued growth.
