Monnaie Services

What Monnaie Services does

Monnaie Services is a French cinema ticketing software and hardware provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in La Seyne-sur-Mer. The company serves nearly 900 cinema operators in France, Belgium, Spain, and Morocco, supplying a vertically integrated ecosystem anchored by EMS-Ciné, its core point-of-sale software compliant with CNC (Centre national du cinéma) specifications. The product suite is developed entirely in-house and spans TicketingCiné (online remote ticket sales), the Moovys i55/i65/i95 self-service kiosk range, imsPad (mobile POS), imsWeb (cinema website creation, newsletter, and CRM platform), imsPass (dematerialized CE employee benefit vouchers), imsControl (smartphone access control), and supporting loyalty and automatic gate integrations. The system integrates with major payment methods (3D Secure, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay) and French cinema-specific coupon schemes (CinéChèque, Orange Cinéday, GRAC, EOSC) and received ACPR Banque de France and ICAA 2020 regulatory approvals.

Monnaie Services monetizes through a mix of recurring software licensing (EMS-Ciné, imsWeb, imsPass), hardware sales (Moovys kiosks, imsPad), and transaction fees on its online ticketing platform (TicketingCiné). The company employs 11-50 people and is structured as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS). Distribution is primarily direct to cinema operators, supplemented by a self-serve consumer channel via ticketingcine.fr. The company has no disclosed institutional funding and has expanded organically through product launches, regulatory homologations, and a 2026 acquisition of Erakys to internalize web capabilities.
