Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Shared Broker Role, Different Peril Lists

Alliance Risk arranges crime insurance as a brokerage. HUB brokers commercial crime insurance rather than underwriting it. Alliance Risk lists employee theft and embezzlement, forgery, fraudulent electronic funds transfer, social-engineering impersonation, and burglary, robbery and safe burglary, with client-property theft by endorsement. HUB lists employee theft, vendor theft, forgery, asset misappropriation, computer fraud and funds-transfer fraud. 3 8

Who They Say Needs It

HUB says crime is available for private, public and not-for-profit organizations. Alliance Risk names cash-handling firms, accounting teams, volunteer-oversight nonprofits, and finance, retail, healthcare or logistics. 8 3

HUB cites industry figures that organizations lose about 5% of revenue to fraud, that fraud often takes about 18 months to detect, and that more than 23% of cases exceed $1 million. Alliance Risk’s reviewed sources do not cite those figures. 8 3

Intake and Published Terms

HUB asks you to connect with a broker and does not describe an online quote. Alliance Risk publishes typical annual premium ranges and excludes business-income loss unless endorsed, cyber hacking, undiscovered losses, and owner or partner dishonesty. 8 3

HUB’s reviewed sources do not publish crime limits, deductibles or premiums. Neither brokerage names the issuing insurer. 8 3

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask HUB whether vendor theft and asset misappropriation are on the proposed form, and ask Alliance Risk whether burglary and social-engineering impersonation are. 8 3

  • Get the carrier from both brokerages. 8 3

  • Confirm discovery timing and owner-dishonesty treatment against Alliance Risk’s listed exclusions. 3

  • Ask both for limit and deductible; HUB’s page does not publish them and Alliance Risk publishes premiums, not limits. 8 3
