Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software-based point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, announced today that Stephan Kuck has joined Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, effective immediately. Kuck, formerly CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, will oversee sales and revenue growth, while Pielage continues his leadership role. The new leadership team aims to leverage Rubean's market leadership in Germany and Spain to expand into other European countries and the Americas.
Rubean's flagship product, PhonePOS, replaces traditional card readers with a software app that enables merchants to accept cashless and mobile payments on smartphones without additional hardware. The company already serves small and large retailers, food service, and delivery businesses, and is a market leader in Germany and Spain. With support from major banks and payment service providers, Rubean has entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and North and South America.
“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 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.”
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’s SoftPOS solution is the only one 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.
