Just saw some big news!

Xiaomi is going to integrate SEI's payment features into their phones. Note that this time it’s not a global rollout — Mainland China and the US markets are not included, but users in other regions will have the SEI payment module pre-installed in the system when they buy Xiaomi phones in the future.

This collaboration has quite a lot of potential for SEI. After all, Xiaomi's overseas shipment volumes are significant, and if they can truly establish the payment scenario, it will lead to a qualitative increase in the penetration of the entire ecosystem.

Of course, the actual implementation will depend on subsequent execution, but at least from a strategic perspective, this move opens a sizeable traffic channel for SEI.

SEI-0,16%

Xiaomi's recent collaboration is indeed interesting, but it's a bit unfortunate to bypass Mainland China and the US. SEI can leverage this to open up the overseas market gap, which is pretty good, but the key is whether it can truly be put into use later on.

Ironically, every time they say "it's looking pretty good at the strategic level," it all ends up failing in implementation [laughing] --- Pre-installed ≠ truly used. Xiaomi users will install and then uninstall, trust me --- Wait, mainland China and the US are not included? So what about the main markets... The term "imagination space" is used cleverly --- Data shows that the most enthusiastic payment cooperation last time saw daily active users drop by 87% after half a year. Judge for yourselves --- Oh, it's another pre-installed payment module. I just want to ask how many people who install it will actually use it --- Interesting, avoiding the two largest markets is called a "strategic breakthrough"? Truly impressive --- The traffic entry points are indeed open, but the user conversion rate... the lessons of history are there --- Xiaomi can sell phones, but that doesn’t mean users will use SEI's payment features. These are two different things --- Looks pretty good, but I’m just worried that the follow-up execution will fall back into the old ways --- I'm not trying to criticize, but anyone who saw the payment ecosystem collapse in 2018 should be cautious

Wow, Xiaomi pre-installed SEI Pay? Now this is interesting. Overseas users can use it right after installation, and the traffic entry is guaranteed.

lmao so they're excluding the two biggest markets? empirically speaking, that's how you guarantee adoption theater without actual utility 🤓

Xiaomi's recent move is quite interesting, but to be honest, how many people will actually use the pre-installed features... Whether SEI can truly break into the mainstream this time depends on how they push it forward; having only traffic entry points without application scenarios is pointless. By the way, why does it avoid China and the US? These two markets are the real gold mines. It seems more like a story to package SEI's funding, but it is indeed a good endorsement. Pre-installed payment features do not mean users will actually use them, don't celebrate too early.

Oh dear, it's another operation excluded by both Mainland China and the US, which is really quite ironic. In that case, how much benefit SEI can actually gain is still uncertain... The key is whether Xiaomi users will actually use it or not. Pre-installed ≠ truly onboard, understand?

Xiaomi's move is indeed quite interesting, but it depends on whether SEI can seize the opportunity and not waste it.

Xiaomi's move this time is quite interesting, bypassing mainland China and the US. What does it imply? SEI won't be considered successful until payment is actually implemented; pre-installation alone without user conversion is pointless. Overseas shipment volume can indeed be competitive. If they can boost actual usage in real scenarios, they'll really make a big profit.
