Rubean AG, the Munich-based FinTech company, announced at its annual shareholders' meeting that it expects consolidated revenue to rise to between €5.0 million and €6.0 million in 2026, up from €3.71 million in the previous year. Co-CEO Jochen Pielage highlighted that revenue in the first half of the year grew by about 50 percent to €2.4 million, driven by strong growth in recurring revenue from its 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 stated.
Rubean's technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, allowing retailers to accept payments directly on smartphones without additional hardware. The company has become a market leader in Germany and Spain and has expanded into other European markets, including Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, as well as North and South America. Pielage noted that Rubean now works with 19 major banks, including the German Sparkassen, BBVA in Spain, and Commerzbank, alongside internationally active payment service providers. "The groundwork has been laid for expanding a very successful sales operation, especially with the help of my new colleague on the Executive Board, Stephan Kuck," he added.
Looking ahead to 2027, Pielage expressed confidence in reaching monthly breakeven and achieving positive net income for the full year for the first time. This positive outlook is underpinned by the continued growth in recurring revenue, which is expected to more than double in 2026. The company's ability to scale its SoftPOS solution without the logistical overhead of physical hardware positions it well for sustained profitability. For more information, visit www.rubean.com.
