Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Issued ForeFront Part Versus Brokered Review

Chubb underwrites Crime as a ForeFront Portfolio part and names ACE American and affiliates. USI brokers crime, either as a standalone placement or as part of an ExecuSafe management-liability review; neither reviewed USI page names the insurer. 4 5 9 10

Marketplace Size Band Versus Named Trades

On Chubb Marketplace, ForeFront’s target appetite is organizations with fewer than 250 employees and less than $50 million in revenue. USI’s Business Services practice, which lists crime, targets building and maintenance, repair, janitorial, staffing and printing companies. 5 9

Cover Detail Versus Gap Check

Chubb lists social-engineering fraud, employee theft including temporary and contracted workers, client theft, and funds-transfer fraud unreimbursed by the insured’s bank. USI lists crime among coverages it places and says ExecuSafe checks existing crime coverage for gaps, with classification reviews, claim advocacy and risk control across lines including crime. 4 9 10

How You Start

ForeFront, including Crime, is available on Chubb Marketplace. USI directs business-services inquiries to a published email desk or a local office, and ExecuSafe inquiries to a separate published email desk. Neither Chubb’s sheet nor USI’s pages publish crime limits. 5 4 9 10
