Chubb vs Corgi Crime Insurance

Chubb underwrites ForeFront crime for private companies on ACE American paper; Corgi sells a standalone discovery-basis Crime & Fidelity form with an illustrative $1 million limit.

What Is Chubb?

Chubb is the marketing name for a global insurance group whose U.S. companies underwrite commercial property, casualty, cyber and financial-lines coverage, including technology-focused DigiTech ERM and small-business packages. Founders and finance teams typically work through an appointed agent, then receive a policy issued by a named Chubb-group insurer rather than by the Swiss holding company. 1,2,3

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. 6,7,8,9,10

Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Portfolio Part Versus Standalone Startup Form

Chubb underwrites Crime as one of seven ForeFront Portfolio parts for private companies, not-for-profits and healthcare organizations. Corgi sells Crime & Fidelity as a standalone first-party startup policy that pays the company back when money, not data, is stolen. 4 5 11

Discovery Trigger and Published Dollars

Corgi’s form is written on a discovery basis, 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. Chubb’s product sheet does not publish specific crime limits or retentions and does not describe a discovery trigger. 11 4

Who It Is For and How You Bind

Chubb Marketplace’s ForeFront appetite is organizations with fewer than 250 employees and less than $50 million in revenue, with digital quoting and binding. Corgi positions Crime & Fidelity for fintechs, payroll companies and marketplaces that move customer funds, often required by sponsor banks, and says it can issue a binder the same day with quotes in under 10 minutes. 5 11

Named Agreements and Issuers

Chubb lists social-engineering fraud, employee theft including temporary and contracted workers, client theft, and funds-transfer fraud unreimbursed by the insured’s bank, and names ACE American and Chubb affiliates. Corgi’s standard policy bundles employee dishonesty, social-engineering fraud, computer fraud, funds-transfer fraud, plus forgery and alteration; disclaimers say coverage may be underwritten through Corgi Insurance Company, Inc. or Technology Risk Retention Group, Inc. 4 11 6

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Corgi whether social-engineering is at the $250,000 sublimit and which affiliated carrier writes the policy. 11 6
  • Confirm you fit Chubb’s ForeFront size band and ask for crime limits the sheet does not publish. 5 4
  • Confirm whether Corgi’s discovery period after termination is included. 11
  • Ask Chubb whether temporary and contracted workers are included on employee theft. 4
