Commercial Crime Insurance

Commercial crime insurance can cover specified losses from theft, dishonesty, forgery and other defined crimes. The available insuring agreements vary: employee theft, money and securities, computer fraud and funds transfer fraud are not interchangeable. Limits, verification requirements and exclusions are especially important when comparing policies.

Inside a Commercial Crime policy.

Employee theft where included
Forgery and alteration provisions
Specified money and securities losses
Computer or funds transfer fraud when covered
Social engineering endorsements and sublimits, if available
Discovery or loss sustained triggers and reporting requirements

Is this for you?

Businesses with employees handling money or inventory
Organizations making electronic payments or transfers
Companies reviewing fidelity, theft and fraud exposures

Plain language answers.

Is an email payment scam automatically covered?

No. Voluntary transfers and social engineering losses can be excluded or have a separate endorsement, smaller limit and verification conditions. Review the exact insuring agreement.

How is this related to fidelity bonds?

Some fidelity products address employee dishonesty and overlap with commercial crime coverage. Other bond requirements serve different purposes. Compare the covered party, loss trigger and required wording rather than rely on the name.

Does cyber insurance replace crime coverage?

Not necessarily. Cyber incidents and direct financial theft can trigger different forms. We review the policies together for gaps, exclusions and overlapping limits.

Coverage availability depends on operations, underwriting and the policy’s terms, limits, deductibles, conditions and exclusions. Descriptions are general education, not a coverage determination. Coverage is not bound by submitting an inquiry.
