Rubean AG, a Munich-based fintech company, announced today that its SoftPOS payment acceptance software is now active on more than 150,000 terminals, nearly double the approximately 80,000 terminals reported in early July 2025. The rapid adoption underscores the company's growth trajectory and supports its recently published financial forecasts.
Co-CEO Jochen Pielage stated, "The significant increase in user numbers underscores our recently published forecast regarding the Rubean Group’s revenue and earnings performance." At the annual shareholders’ meeting in early July, the Executive Board projected consolidated revenue for 2026 to reach between 5.0 million and 6.0 million euros, up from 3.71 million euros in the previous year. Recurring revenue is expected to more than double in 2026, with the company targeting monthly breakeven in 2027 and a positive net income for the full year.
Co-CEO Stephan Kuck emphasized, "Thanks to the continued significant growth in the use of our SoftPOS app, we will reach monthly breakeven in 2027 and close the entire year with a positive net income for the first time."
Rubean's technology replaces traditional card readers with a software app, allowing merchants to accept payments on smartphones without additional hardware. The solution is already a market leader in Germany and Spain, serving small retailers, large chains, the food service industry, and delivery services. The company's PhonePOS solution is the only softPOS that supports the girocard (EC card) in Germany.
The milestone of 150,000 active terminals indicates strong market acceptance and positions Rubean for continued expansion in the European cashless payment market. Investors and industry observers will watch for the company's progress toward profitability as it scales its software-only point-of-sale solutions.
