Rubean AG, a Munich-based FinTech company specializing in software point-of-sale (SoftPOS) solutions, announced at its annual shareholders' meeting on Wednesday that it expects continued strong revenue growth. Co-CEO Jochen Pielage projected consolidated revenue for 2026 to range between 5.0 million and 6.0 million euros, up from 3.71 million euros in the previous year. In the first half of 2026, revenue increased by approximately 50 percent to 2.4 million euros, reflecting the company's rapid expansion.
A key driver of this growth is the increasing share of recurring revenue from fees for using Rubean's SoftPOS software. Pielage emphasized that half of the 2026 annual revenue will come from recurring sources, which are particularly profitable. This marks a significant shift from the previous year and underscores the scalability of the company's software-only model. Rubean's technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, allowing retailers to accept cashless payments on smartphones without additional hardware. This approach has made Rubean a market leader in Germany and Spain.
The positive trend is expected to continue into 2027, with the company forecasting monthly breakeven and its first full year of positive net income. Pielage attributed this to the continued growth in recurring revenue, which improves margins and financial stability. Rubean has expanded its presence across Europe, including Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, and has entered markets in North and South America with support from major banks and payment service providers. The company now partners with 19 major banks, including German Sparkassen, BBVA in Spain, and Commerzbank, as well as international payment service providers.
Pielage highlighted the contributions of new Executive Board member Stephan Kuck in expanding sales operations. The groundwork has been laid for a successful sales push across multiple regions. For more information, visit www.rubean.com.
