Rubean AG, a Munich-based FinTech company specializing in software point-of-sale solutions, announced at its annual shareholders' meeting that it expects consolidated revenue to rise to between 5.0 million and 6.0 million euros in 2026, up from 3.71 million euros in the previous year. Co-CEO Jochen Pielage highlighted that first-half revenue grew by 50 percent to 2.4 million euros, driven by strong recurring revenue from the company's SoftPOS software.
“Half of the 2026 annual revenue will already come from the particularly profitable recurring revenue. That is significantly more than in the previous year,” Pielage said. This shift is key to the company's path to profitability. He further stated that “thanks to the continued significant growth in recurring revenue, we will reach monthly breakeven in 2027 and close the entire year with a positive net income for the first time.”
Rubean's technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, allowing merchants to accept payments directly on smartphones without additional hardware. The company is already a market leader in Germany and Spain and has expanded into Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom with support from major banks and payment service providers. “We now work with 19 major banks, including the German Sparkassen, BBVA in Spain, and Commerzbank, as well as internationally active payment service providers in Europe and in North and South America,” Pielage noted.
The company's growth strategy focuses on leveraging its recurring revenue model, which is expected to more than double in 2026. This model provides predictable, high-margin income that reduces reliance on one-time sales. With expansion into new markets and partnerships, Rubean aims to sustain its growth trajectory and achieve its first profitable year in 2027.
