Key Differences in Crime Insurance

AIG offers crime insurance to commercial and governmental entities; CNA lists Crime within its modular Management Liability program.

AIG markets crime insurance and describes losses involving money, securities, and fraud. CNA lists Crime among Management Liability coverages in Epack 3, a modular policy that combines selected management-liability parts rather than requiring one fixed bundle. CNA’s page describes organization types including private and public companies and nonprofits. Buyers should ask which components can be selected together and whether crime can be quoted independently of the desired package. 3 7

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • AIG identifies a dedicated underwriting team and experienced claims professionals for Crime and Fidelity. CNA directs agents to its Agent Center for applications but the reviewed materials do not describe crime-specific loss triggers, limits, or claims handling. Thus the buyer has more product detail in AIG’s public record; a CNA submission should request the crime form and its crime-specific schedule before comparing coverage. 3
  • Ask AIG for crime limits, retentions, covered acts, and the claims reporting contact. 7

AIG vs CNA: Crime Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaAIG Crime InsuranceCNA Management Liability Crime Coverage
Role in This Line

AIG markets crime insurance as a risk-bearing insurance product for commercial and governmental entities, separate from its financial-institution bond offering. The policy issuer is not named for a particular buyer. 3Company-reported. Role in this product is limited to the description on the linked AIG source.

CNA describes Epack 3 as a modular policy with a selected mix of management-liability parts rather than one mandatory bundle. 7Company-reported. The page does not establish which components a buyer can select for a specific risk or whether the crime coverage is offered standalone.

Who It’s For

Financial-institution bonds are described separately for banks, non-bank lenders, asset managers and insurance companies. 3Company-reported.

CNA describes management-liability risks for private and public companies and not-for-profit organizations. 7Company-reported. This is broad segment context, not a crime-specific acceptance rule.

Coverage Features

AIG describes potential crime coverage for loss of money, securities and other assets from dishonesty, theft or fraud, including computer fraud.
