Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software-based point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, has officially installed a new leadership duo. Stephan Kuck, former CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, joins Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, effective July 1, 2026. The move is designed to accelerate sales and capitalize on significant growth opportunities in the cashless payment market.
Kuck brings extensive experience from Computop, one of Germany’s leading payment service providers, where he previously collaborated with Rubean. “I’m looking 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 echoed the sentiment, stating, “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’s core product, PhonePOS, is a SoftPOS solution that replaces traditional card readers with a smartphone app, enabling merchants to accept contactless payments without additional hardware. The company has established itself as a market leader in Germany and Spain. It has also entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the Americas with support from major banks and payment service providers.
As part of the leadership transition, former Chief Sales Officer Dr. Hermann Geupel 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 is listed on m:access and over-the-counter trading venues, including XETRA, under the symbol R1B:GR. Additional information is available at www.rubean.com. The original press release can be found at www.newmediawire.com.
