Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software-based point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, announced today that its new leadership team has officially taken office. Stephan Kuck, former CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, joins Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, effective immediately. The move aims to accelerate the company's growth trajectory and strengthen its market position.
Stephan Kuck brings extensive experience in the payment industry, having led Computop Paygate, one of Germany's leading payment service providers. His appointment is expected to enhance Rubean's sales operations and revenue generation. Jochen Pielage, who has been with Rubean, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: "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." Kuck echoed this 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, replaces traditional card readers with a software app, enabling merchants to accept cashless and mobile payments without additional hardware. This SoftPOS solution is already a market leader in Germany and Spain, and the company has successfully entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the Americas with support from major banks and payment service providers. The company's ability to support the girocard (EC card) in large-scale deployments in Germany sets it apart from competitors.
As part of the leadership transition, 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 growth strategy focuses on leveraging its innovative SoftPOS technology to capture a larger share of the global payment market. With the new leadership duo, the company aims to accelerate its expansion and capitalize on the increasing demand for contactless payment solutions.
