Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Package Underwriting Versus Carrier Comparison

CFC includes crime inside its US Management Liability package. RiskCube brokers commercial crime as one of the lines in its startup insurance catalogue, comparing carrier options rather than underwriting the policy. RiskCube’s disclosures say it is not an insurance carrier and that products including commercial crime are underwritten by third-party carriers it does not name. 5 12 11

Startup Catalogue Versus Management Declines

RiskCube calls commercial crime essential for startups handling client funds, payment data, or operating with a distributed team. CFC’s brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among declined risks for the package that carries this crime coverage. 12 5

Speed of Intake Versus Claims Routing

RiskCube describes a roughly 10-minute digital intake followed by AI agents and licensed brokers comparing carriers, aiming for vendor-ready proof of coverage in about 24 hours across catalogue lines including commercial crime. CFC provides a US claim-notification route and a dedicated adjuster, not that 10-minute intake. Neither RiskCube’s catalogue nor CFC’s brochure publishes specific crime limits or retentions. The reviewed RiskCube catalogue page does not describe crime-specific risk-control services or claims handling. 12 8 5

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask RiskCube which third-party carrier is quoting and whether the 24-hour vendor-ready timeline applies to crime. 12 11
  • Ask CFC whether crime is the management or fintech package, and whether California or public-company status is a decline. 5 7
  • Get crime limits and retentions from both; neither publishes standard figures. 12 5
  • Ask how each would handle a crime claim; RiskCube’s catalogue does not describe crime-specific claims handling. 12 8
