NEW YORK, May 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Credello: If you're looking into personal loans, you may have questions. You might want to know how many personal loans you can have or what is a good interest rate on a loan from a bank or credit union.
In this article, though, we'll focus on one aspect of personal loans that might be of particular interest to you. We'll discuss the best personal loan options for people with bad credit.
What Is Bad Credit?
First, let's talk about what most people consider to be bad credit. For this article, we'll use your FICO score as an example. You can also get different credit scores that correspond to the various major credit bureaus, but to simplify matters, we'll stick with your FICO score.
Your FICO score can be anywhere from 300 to 850. It's also possible to have no credit score if you haven't started building your credit yet.
If you have a FICO score below 670, many consumers and individuals in the financial world consider that to be bad credit. The lower your credit score is beyond that point, the worse financial shape you're in.
Now, let's discuss some personal loan options if your FICO score is 670 or below.
1. ClearViewLoans
ClearViewLoans should certainly be on your list if you need a loan but don't have stellar credit. It's a comparison tool through which you can connect with approved lenders.
There are several options regarding the loan amount you need, the length of time you have to pay it back, and the APR you must pay. You can complete a simple questionnaire and get a list of offers you can peruse.
2. LendYou
LendYou is another online entity through which you can get a small personal loan. You can get an installment loan through this site, or you can get an offer for a personal loan or a payday loan if you'd prefer either of those.
LendYou does not charge a fee to put you in contact with lending entities. You also have no obligation to accept any of the offers the lenders propose.
LendYou is suitable for individuals who want relatively small personal loans. You can get one from $100 to $2,500 there.
3. BadCreditLoans
You might go through BadCreditLoans as well. That's another online entity that has an extensive network of potential lending partners.
It's one of the oldest and most reputable of these entities, as it has been around since 1998. It takes you just a few moments to apply online. There's no cost or obligation. You can get a personal loan, but also an auto loan, business loan, student loan, and others.
You Have Some Options Available
If you require a personal loan and have not-so-great credit, you can usually still find a willing lender. You might visit BadCreditLoans and fill out an application. You have no obligation, and there's no fee to use the service. BadCreditLoans is one of the better options because they have so many different kinds of loans you can get.
LendYou also has developed a following in the financial community. LendYou is probably best if you want a personal loan for a small amount. You can get a loan for any amount from $100 to $2,500 there.
If you go through ClearViewLoans, you have many options, including the length of time you need to pay back the loan, the APY, and the loan amount you require. You fill out a questionnaire, and the site returns a list of options in a couple of minutes at most.
You can absolutely get a personal loan if you don't have fantastic credit. Many consumers do it, so check out each of the options we mentioned in this article.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - California-based Glidewell, a global leader in custom dental solutions, has announced the acquisition of ORB Innovations Limited, a U.K. company that has developed patented technology to measure a wearer's physiological and biomechanical activities within an oral appliance.
Glidewell has a formidable record of technological innovation over its 53-year history, with 94 U.S. patents awarded and 68 more pending. This acquisition marks the company's first investment in smart dental products.
"We see the platform the ORB team has developed as an exciting evolution for the sports market," said Glidewell CEO Stephenie Goddard. "And it's easy to envision application in other wellness-related areas, in line with Glidewell's mission to bring innovative solutions to dentists and their patients throughout the world."
In 2010, Robert Paterson, CEO and cofounder of ORB Innovations, suffered a severe head injury (subdural hematoma) during a rugby game. The injury was misdiagnosed, and Robert's health deteriorated, leaving him bed-bound for weeks. Wanting to prevent others from experiencing the same fate, Paterson teamed with Thomas Quinn, CTO, to found ORB Innovations in 2017. Based in London, England, ORB's value offering later expanded to enable both performance and wellness monitoring with its patented technology.
"We are thrilled to join the Glidewell family," said Paterson. "As one of the largest dental companies in the world, with a 50-year track record of pioneering new technology, we feel we have found a natural home. The acquisition will allow us to accelerate the launch of our unique platform in the U.S. and to increase the pace of our research and development in other areas. Together, ORB Innovations and Glidewell will bring to market a whole range of smart oral products that will provide flexible new options for health-conscious consumers."
Specific products and timelines have yet to be announced, but athletes and their dental providers can join a waitlist and learn more about the ORB technology platform at www.orbinnovations.com.

TORONTO, May 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Smile Digital Health (Smile), a leading FHIR® health data fabric and exchange solutions provider, announced on May 15, 2023, that it has successfully completed the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2® Type 2 attestation. This is the next step in certification from last year's completion of the SOC 2 Type 1.
Security is an integral part of Smile's Health Data Fabric platform, solutions and services. The SOC 2 Type 2 is one component of an ongoing certification plan that aligns with the highest security standards, ensuring that Smile is always safeguarding its clients' data and providing the safest methods of storing, processing and exchanging sensitive information.
Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA), SOC 2 is a security framework that specifies how organizations should protect client data from unauthorized access, security incidents and other vulnerabilities. The SOC 2 focuses on internal controls related to security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy.
The SOC 2 Type 2 attestation report assesses the operating effectiveness of internal controls over an extended period of time. Gaining this next level of certification continues to solidify Smile as a leader when it comes to data security and privacy, which is key to its clients and prospective customers when working with the type of personal data they need to analyze and share regularly.
"Obtaining the SOC 2 Type 2 attestation has been a key goal of this company as set in our Privacy and Security roadmap, which is built upon our Type 1 certification we obtained last year. Our clients and partners now have additional evidence of how we operate our services and ensure the protection of data as per our own stringent policies," said Luis de Barros, Chief Privacy and Security Officer, Smile Digital Health.
The SOC 2 audits a wide range of tasks. Some of these include vulnerability scanning and management, testing of recovery plan procedures and monitoring various aspects of the retention period of data. This high-level summary barely touches on the areas available to audit and, in turn, showcases the extensive nature of the SOC 2.
"The maturity and commitment of both our information security and compliance programs are evident with reaching the Type 2 attestation. The knowledge and diligence of our staff have accelerated our success in our certifications and further demonstrates their commitment to ensuring the highest level of safe data management," said Rhea Kolanko, Chief of Staff & VP Business Operations, Smile Digital Health.

GENEVA, May 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - On the occasion of the 76th World Health Assembly, the United for Self-Care Coalition[1] hosted a side event highlighting the need to embed self-care into the healthcare continuum, particularly in the context of managing the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), strengthening primary health care (PHC) and advancing universal health coverage (UHC).
The event, which was held on Wednesday 24 May entitled "Self-Care: A Foundational Component of Health System Sustainability," brought together policymakers, healthcare providers, academics and patient advocates to discuss strategies for integrating self-care into national health systems and advancing health equity.
Speakers from a range of organizations provided a rich debate, including representatives from the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), the Self-Care Trailblazer Group, Imperial College London Self-Care Academic Research Unit (SCARU) and the International Alliance of Patient Organisations (IAPO). Speakers highlighted the potential benefits of self-care, including improved health outcomes, increased access to healthcare services, stronger health systems and reduced healthcare costs.
The event also featured the official launch of the United for Self-Care Coalition, which is a global group of like-minded organisations unified by one common goal: to achieve UHC through codifying recognition of the value of self-care within the WHO to spearhead the development of a WHO Resolution on Self-Care and/or inclusion of self-care as a meaningful component of progress. The Coalition will work collaboratively to raise awareness of the importance of self-care, promotes evidence-based interventions, and advocates for policies and strategies that support the integration of self-care as a core component of people-centred care and PHC.
"The United for Self-Care Coalition is proud to have hosted this important side event at the World Health Assembly," said Judy Stenmark, Director General of the Global Self-Care Federation. "The time to act is now. We believe that self-care is a critical component for the advancement of UHC, and we are committed to working with policymakers, healthcare providers, patients and academic partners to promote its integration into the healthcare continuum."

SALT LAKE CITY, May 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - GIMME Beauty has launched a new campaign video that echoes popular themes from the 90s and early 2000s to capitalize on its extensive collection of hair solutions for all hair types. The video features their top-rated detangling hair brushes, designed for all hair types and hairstyles, and their collection of cult fave hair bands that can withstand 80 pounds of pressure without snapping.

They are made with heat-resistant, anti-static, flexible bristles and feature an ergonomic velvet grip handle for firm, yet gentle, control. Truly, the brush of your dreams.
"The beauty of our brushes is that they are optimized for each hair type, having gone through our extensive R&D process to offer flexibility that reduces damage and doesn't pull hair," GIMME CEO, Jeff Durham said.
He suggested that after speaking with fans and keeping a pulse on general consumer interests, it is evident nostalgia marketing is resonating with themes from the 90s and Y2K pop culture. A few recent examples include Pizza Hut x Pac Man or Blockbuster x Oreo - consumers want to walk down memory lane. Even more compelling, they want the brands they love to spin retro concepts into the world and colors of the brand. With this as a prompt, the idea of the GIMME Science Fair Video was born.
"Think movies like Legally Blonde, Mean Girls, and High School Musical meet GIMME Beauty," Durham said. "We are storytellers that love pop culture and making a colorful splash to educate customers on our solutions for unique hair types." Watch it here.
