Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Broker of Record Versus Program Distributor

Alliance Risk arranges crime insurance placements as a brokerage and describes the coverage it places rather than an Alliance-issued policy. Coalition designs and distributes crime as one of four coverages in Executive Risks, sold through appointed brokers rather than direct to buyers. 3 8

Named Carrier and Limit Band

Alliance Risk’s crime page does not name an issuing insurer and does not publish specific coverage limits. Coalition’s disclaimer names Zurich American Insurance Company (NAIC 16535) as the admitted carrier for Executive Risks and says Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. also places Executive Risks with unaffiliated insurers on a non-admitted basis, so the crime carrier depends on the placement route. Coalition says limits up to $10 million per coverage line may be available for Executive Risks products, including crime, subject to exclusions and limitations. 3 9 8

Who Can Buy

Coalition says Executive Risks products, including crime, are available to private and not-for-profit U.S. organizations in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with up to $500 million in assets, up to 1,000 employees, and up to $500 million in plan assets. Alliance Risk lists businesses that handle cash, payments or sensitive data, companies with accounting, billing or procurement teams, nonprofits with volunteer financial oversight, and organizations in finance, retail, healthcare or logistics. 8 3

How Coverage Is Described

Alliance Risk itemizes employee theft, forgery, fraudulent EFT, social-engineering impersonation, and burglary or robbery, and lists exclusions including business-income loss unless endorsed and cyber breach or hacking. Coalition says crime coverage responds to losses from criminal activities including theft, fraud, and certain cybercrimes, flagged as subject to exclusions and limitations, without the same agreement-by-agreement list on the reviewed Executive Risks page. 3 8

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Coalition whether the crime policy is admitted Zurich American paper or non-admitted unaffiliated paper. 9
  • Confirm you fit Coalition’s private or not-for-profit, 1,000-employee and $500 million-asset thresholds. 8
  • Get Alliance Risk’s issuing insurer and actual limit; those are not on the crime page. 3
  • Match Alliance Risk’s listed exclusions (income, cyber hacking, discovery, owner dishonesty) against Coalition’s issued form, which the public page flags as limited. 3 8
