RUBEAN receives approval from Mastercard
 

- Milestone in Rubean's corporate development

- Smartphone becomes cash terminal for payment with credit cards

- Only one smartphone-app for accepting contactless payment

- High demand expected from smaller distributors and traders
 

Munich, 18. December 2019. The German Fintech enterprise RUBEAN AG (ISIN: DE0005120802, WKN: 512080), Munich, has received the pilot approval for the payment acceptance solution "PhonePOS" from Mastercard (WKN: A0F602 ISIN: US57636Q1040). This means that merchants can now accept contactless card payments on their smartphone or tablet on a pilot basis without any additional hardware - they only need to download the PhonePOS App before. The PhonePOS solution was developed by Rubean in cooperation with its partner CCV and is protected by patent-pending security software.

"This approval is a milestone in our corporate development", says Dr. Hermann Geupel, CEO of Rubean. "After a long development period, we now have the confirmation that our developed security and monitoring software meets the high requirements on a smartphone-based card terminal. CCV's acCEPT Paas (Payment-as-a-Service) ecosystem is the optimum solution for such new Tap-on-phone system as it outsources most parts of the POS functionality to the cloud, thereby enabling a lean App and increasing security and flexibility. We are expecting a very high demand, especially from smaller distributors and traders. After completion of the pilot trial (planned for the first half of 2020), we will offer the payment solution on a broad basis in the German and European market together with our partner CCV", Dr. Geupel continues.
