MUNICH – Rubean AG, a FinTech company specializing in software-based point-of-sale solutions, announced at its annual shareholders’ meeting on Wednesday that it expects consolidated revenue to reach between 5.0 million and 6.0 million euros in 2026, up from 3.71 million euros in the previous year. The company reported first-half revenue of 2.4 million euros, a roughly 50% increase over the same period last year, driven by strong growth in recurring revenue from its SoftPOS software.
Co-CEO Jochen Pielage highlighted that recurring revenue – fees from the use of Rubean’s software – is becoming an increasingly significant portion of the company’s income. “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 said. He added that this trend positions the company to reach monthly breakeven in 2027 and close the year with positive net income for the first time.
Rubean’s technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app that can be deployed on smartphones, eliminating the need for additional hardware. This approach allows retailers, restaurants, delivery services, and other businesses to accept cashless and mobile payments more easily. The company is already a market leader in Germany and Spain and has expanded into Switzerland, France, the United Kingdom, and the Americas with support from major banks and payment service providers.
“We now work with 19 major banks, including the German Sparkassen, BBVA in Spain, and Commerzbank, as well as internationally active payment service providers in Europe and in North and South America,” Pielage noted. He credited the groundwork laid for expanding sales operations, particularly with the appointment of Stephan Kuck to the Executive Board.
The company’s focus on recurring revenue is key to its profitability outlook. By shifting from one-time license fees to ongoing subscription-based revenue, Rubean aims to build a more stable and predictable income stream. This model is expected to more than double the share of recurring revenue in 2026 compared to the previous year, driving the company toward its first positive annual earnings in 2027.
Rubean’s SoftPOS solution, PhonePOS, is the only such solution that supports the girocard (EC card) in Germany, giving it a unique position in the domestic market. The company is listed on m:access and over-the-counter trading venues, including XETRA, under the symbol R1B:GR. For more information, visit www.rubean.com.
