What Is Corgi Insurance?

Corgi Insurance sells commercial coverage to technology startups through stage-based packages (pre-seed and seed, Series A, and growth stage) that combine general liability, directors and officers, technology E&O, cyber, and related lines, alongside a growing small-business product line for other industries. Coverage may be issued by Corgi’s own risk retention group, an affiliated admitted carrier, or a partner insurer, so the issuing entity and available protections depend on the specific product and state. 9,10,11,12,13

Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Standalone Form Versus a Package Section

Corgi sells Crime & Fidelity as a standalone first-party startup policy that pays the company back when money, not data, is stolen. CFC includes crime inside its US Management Liability package and does not present that cover as standalone within the package; it also sells crime for employee infidelity and third-party fraud inside a fintech package. 14 5 7

Trigger, Limits and Social Engineering

Corgi’s form is written on a discovery basis, so coverage attaches when a loss is discovered during the policy period, with an optional discovery period of up to one year after termination. Its illustrative structure is $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate with a $10,000 retention; social-engineering fraud is commonly sublimited to $250,000 and conditioned on out-of-band verification of vendor-wire changes. CFC’s brochure does not publish crime limits or retentions, and it does not describe a discovery trigger or that sublimit. 14 5

Who Each Product Speaks To

Corgi positions Crime & Fidelity for fintechs, payroll companies and marketplaces that move customer funds, noting sponsor banks and Banking-as-a-Service partners often require it. CFC’s brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among declined risks for the management package that carries crime. 14 5

Buying Path and Issuers

Corgi says it can issue coverage and a binder the same day, with instant quotes in under 10 minutes online. CFC provides a US claim-notification route and a dedicated adjuster, not a same-day online binder for this line. Corgi’s disclaimers say coverage may be underwritten through affiliated or partner carriers, including Corgi Insurance Company, Inc. or Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. CFC’s regulatory page does not name the issuer for a given US crime policy. 14 9 8 4

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Corgi whether social-engineering is at the $250,000 sublimit and whether out-of-band vendor-wire controls are in place. 14
  • Ask CFC whether crime is in the management package or the fintech package, and whether California or public-company status is a decline. 5 7
  • Get the issuing entity on both quotes; Corgi’s crime page does not name which affiliated carrier writes a given policy. 9 4
  • Confirm whether Corgi’s discovery period after termination is included. 14

CFC vs Corgi Crime Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaCFC CrimeCorgi Crime & Fidelity
Role in This Line

CFC includes crime coverage inside its US Management Liability package. The reviewed management-liability materials do not offer it as a standalone product within that package. 5,6Company-reported. Management-liability product page and brochure; package composition as CFC describes it.

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. 14Company-reported. Product page for form CORG-CRM-0100, last reviewed by Corgi on April 24, 2026 per the page itself.

Issuing Insurer

CFC's regulatory page discloses CFC Underwriting Limited's FCA authorization and CFC's Lloyd's Syndicate 1988, managed by Asta Managing Agency Ltd, but neither the regulatory page nor the management-liability brochure names the carrier or syndicate that would issue a given US crime policy. 4,5Not publicly disclosed. Regulatory information page and brochure as read on 2026-09-23.

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. 9Company-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.

Who It’s For

CFC's brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among the risks it declines for the package that carries this crime coverage. 5Company-reported. Brochure's 'What we decline' list; underwriting still applies to any individual business.

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. 14Company-reported. Industry-applicability section of the product page; other startups can also buy the policy, and eligibility for any given business depends on underwriting.

Coverage Features

CFC's brochure describes company crime cover including employee theft, funds transfer fraud, and credit card and currency fraud. 5Company-reported. Brochure's 'Crime cover' description; the issued policy wording determines the actual insuring agreements and any sub-limits.

The brochure also lists client crime, meaning fraud by clients or their staff, and on-premises and off-premises theft, as part of the crime section. 5Company-reported. Brochure's 'Crime cover' description.

CFC separately sells crime coverage for employee infidelity and third-party fraud within its fintech package. The reviewed pages do not state whether that fintech crime coverage is the same crime coverage sold inside the management-liability package. 7,5Company-reported. Fintech product page compared against the management-liability brochure; both accessed 2026-09-23. This does not establish overlap or difference in wording between the two products.

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. 14Company-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. 14Company-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. 14Company-reported. Product-page glossary and FAQ description of form CORG-CRM-0100.

Limits and Retentions

The reviewed brochure does not publish a dollar limit, sublimit or retention for crime coverage. Those figures appear only on the quote and declarations. 5Not publicly disclosed. Brochure as read on 2026-09-23.

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. 14Company-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.

How to Apply

Not described in the reviewed sources.

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. 14Company-reported. FAQ marketing claims on the product page; quote and bind speed are not independently verified.

Claims Support

CFC provides a US claim-notification route by phone, email and online form, and says a dedicated claims adjuster manages a claim from notification through resolution. 8Company-reported. Claims page as read on 2026-09-23; not specific to crime claim outcomes or timing.
