Rubean Appoints Stephan Kuck as Co-CEO to Drive Sales Expansion

Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software-based point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, has officially installed its new leadership team. Stephan Kuck, former CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, has joined the company as Co-CEO alongside Jochen Pielage. The duo took office on July 1, 2026, with a focus on accelerating sales and capitalizing on significant market opportunities.

Rubean's SoftPOS technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, enabling retailers to accept cashless and mobile payments without additional hardware. The company is already a market leader in Germany and Spain and has successfully entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, as well as North and South America, with support from major banks and payment service providers.

"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 PhonePOS solution is the only SoftPOS that supports 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.

The appointment of Kuck, who brings extensive experience from Computop, positions Rubean to leverage its existing partnerships and expand its footprint in the rapidly growing SoftPOS market. The leadership change underscores the company's commitment to scaling its operations and capturing market share in Europe and the Americas.
