CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ally Lending, the personal lending arm of Ally Bank, a subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc. (NYSE: ALLY), continues to build on its legacy in the consumer healthcare lending market – serving more than 150 Ideal Image points of care across the U.S. During the past five years, the number of applications submitted by Ideal Image clients to Ally Lending grew thirteenfold.

In 2016, Ally Lending, previously known as Health Credit Services, launched its financing in 10 Ideal Image locations. Primarily known for its wellness and aesthetic services – including laser hair removal, body sculpting, Botox®, and skin rejuvenation services – Ideal Image is also recognized for its commitment to accessibility and affordability. With this mission in mind, Ally Lending and Ideal Image honed the financing program over the years to work even better for their clients' wallets.

Fast-forward to 2021: demand for cosmetic procedures is on the rise¹ – making responsible pay-over-time options essential to good business. With Ally Lending as an option at Ideal Image, clients can quickly move forward with treatment while staying safely within their budget – effectively eliminating the uncomfortable cost conversation.

"Dollar signs can cause people to delay health or wellness procedures they need or want," said Hans Zandhuis, head of Ally Lending. "Financing can help by giving people an easier, more digestible way to pay."

"Ally Lending was there for me during the pandemic when I needed a personal loan to pay for services that my mother and I needed," said a client at Ideal Image. "We are fortunate enough that I qualified for a low APR. That's when I knew Ally Lending had my back."

Beyond the day-to-day financing routine, Ally Lending also provides Ideal Image with a host of business services, including client retention and new customer acquisition marketing campaigns, as well as personalized, dedicated customer service support. These efforts help keep clients engaged and returning for additional services.

"As demand for personal care, wellness services and aesthetics continues to increase, we'll be here to support them with flexible, personalized payment terms," said David Prokupek, CEO of Ideal Image. "No matter your financial picture – we're committed to helping you look and feel your most confident."
