Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software point-of-sale solutions, has officially installed a new leadership duo. Stephan Kuck, former CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, has joined Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, effective July 1, 2026. The new leadership aims to drive sales expansion and capitalize on significant growth opportunities in the cashless payment market.
Kuck brings extensive experience from his tenure at Computop, one of Germany’s leading payment service providers, where he collaborated closely with Rubean. “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,” said Kuck. Pielage expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “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.”
Rubean’s core product, PhonePOS, is a software-based point-of-sale solution (SoftPOS) that replaces traditional card readers, enabling merchants to accept cashless and mobile payments directly on smartphones without additional hardware. The company is already a market leader in Germany and Spain, and has successfully entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, with support from major banks and payment service providers. Rubean has also expanded into North and South America.
Dr. Hermann Geupel, the 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 is unique in its ability to support girocard (EC card) in large-scale deployments in Germany. The company is listed on m:access and other trading venues, including XETRA.
