Beazley vs Corgi Crime Insurance

Beazley underwrites Commercial Crime insurance for commercial companies. The same product page separately describes Financial Fidelity Bonds, a related but distinct product line for financial institutions. ⁵Company-reported. Crime and Fidelity product page; distinguishes the commercial-company product from the financial-institution fidelity bond described on the same page.

Corgi sells Crime & Fidelity as a standalone startup policy, describing it as first-party coverage that pays the company back when money (not data) is stolen through employee theft, social engineering, computer fraud, forgery or funds-transfer fraud. ¹¹Company-reported. Product page for form CORG-CRM-0100, last reviewed by Corgi on April 24, 2026 per the page itself.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Corgi's disclaimers say coverage may be underwritten through affiliated or partner carriers, including Corgi Insurance Company, Inc. (an admitted carrier) or Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc.; the crime product page itself does not name which entity underwrites a given Crime & Fidelity policy. ⁶Company-reported. General carrier-financial-strength disclosure that applies across Corgi's product lines, not a crime-specific underwriter statement; your policy names the actual insurer.

Beazley markets Commercial Crime to ordinary commercial companies, not to banks or other financial institutions, which it addresses separately through Financial Fidelity Bonds. ⁵Company-reported. Product page target-customer language; no industry list or size threshold is published.

Corgi positions Crime & Fidelity primarily for fintechs, payroll companies and marketplaces that move customer funds, noting it is frequently required by sponsor banks and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) partners before a fintech can go live. ¹¹Company-reported. Industry-applicability section of the product page; other startups can also buy the policy, and eligibility for any given business depends on underwriting.

Beazley says Commercial Crime protects an organization from loss of money and securities caused by theft by its own employees, plus third-party-related losses such as forgery or alteration, on-premises and in-transit loss, money-order and counterfeit-currency fraud, computer fraud, client-property loss, credit-card fraud and related expense coverage. ⁵Company-reported. Product-page description of insuring agreements; exclusions, conditions and available sub-limits appear only in the issued policy.

Beazley says its Commercial Crime policy includes a fraudulent-instruction (social-engineering) insuring agreement covering losses from wire transfers made on instructions from someone posing as a vendor, client or authorized employee, and that this cover is conditioned on out-of-band authentication of payment instructions. ⁵Company-reported. Product-page description; Beazley says the out-of-band-authentication condition can be removed for insureds with documented controls and response plans, subject to an additional premium.

The standard policy bundles four insuring agreements: employee dishonesty, social engineering fraud (business email compromise), computer fraud, and funds transfer fraud, plus forgery and alteration of checks or drafts. ¹¹Company-reported. Coverage summary for form CORG-CRM-0100; the illustrated scenarios are examples, not a guarantee of coverage for a specific claim, and the issued policy controls.

Social engineering fraud (business email compromise) is commonly sublimited to $250,000 against the $1 million policy aggregate, and Corgi conditions the sublimit on documented out-of-band verification controls for changes to vendor wire instructions. ¹¹Company-reported. Product-page scenario notes and FAQ; the exact sublimit and required controls are underwriting-dependent and confirmed on the declarations page.

Corgi's Crime & Fidelity policy is written on a discovery basis, meaning coverage attaches when a loss is discovered during the policy period regardless of when the underlying dishonest act occurred, and it offers an optional discovery period of up to one year after termination to report a loss. ¹¹Company-reported. Product-page glossary and FAQ description of form CORG-CRM-0100.

Beazley advertises Commercial Crime limits of up to US $25,000,000. The page does not publish retentions, sub-limits by insuring agreement, or a minimum limit. ⁵Company-reported. Product-page headline limit figure; the page does not split the figure between Commercial Crime and Financial Fidelity Bonds.

Corgi's illustrative Crime & Fidelity structure shows a $1,000,000 per-occurrence and aggregate limit across its insuring agreements, with a $10,000 self-insured retention per occurrence. ¹¹Company-reported. Illustrative policy structure on the product page ('Anatomy of a $1M / $1M / $10K Crime & Fidelity Policy'); actual limits and retentions appear on the declarations and Corgi says standard limits scale with payment volume for growth-stage and at-scale companies.

Beazley says its underwriting and claims professionals for this line work side by side so that, when a claim arises, the original underwriting intent of the policy is respected. ⁵Company-reported. Company-stated internal process description; no independent claims-handling outcome data is provided.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Beazley lists a standalone Crime application, a Massachusetts-specific Crime application and a separate Social Engineering application among its Tools & Resources, distinct from the Financial Fidelity Bond application forms on the same page. ⁵Company-reported. Tools & Resources section of the product page; the page does not describe an online quote or self-service purchase flow.

Corgi says it can issue Crime & Fidelity coverage and a binder the same day, and offers instant quotes in under 10 minutes through its online application. ¹¹Company-reported. FAQ marketing claims on the product page; quote and bind speed are not independently verified.

The product page links to Beazley's general claim-notification channel for this line. It does not disclose a claims response-time commitment or a dedicated claims-handling process specific to Commercial Crime. ⁵Not publicly disclosed. Product page "Notify a Claim" link as read on 2026-09-23; response times were not found.
