Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company specializing in software-based point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, announced on July 1, 2026, that a new leadership team has officially taken office. Stephan Kuck, former CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, joins Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO, with a focus on driving sales and revenue growth.
“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.”
Rubean’s SoftPOS technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, enabling retailers, food service businesses, delivery services, and other commercial enterprises 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, and North and South America with support from major banks and payment service providers.
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.

This leadership change is significant as it positions Rubean to accelerate its market penetration and leverage its SoftPOS technology, which is the only solution supporting girocard (EC card) in large-scale deployments in Germany. With a strong foothold in Europe and expanding presence in the Americas, the new co-CEO structure is expected to drive revenue growth and strengthen partnerships with financial institutions.
