Key Differences in Crime Insurance

How Crime Is Sold

Coalition designs and distributes crime insurance as one of four coverages in its Executive Risks product suite, sold through appointed brokers. Embroker sells commercial crime as a standalone policy and says smaller businesses sometimes add crime as an endorsement to a BOP or a D&O policy instead. 4 9

Coverage Descriptions

Coalition says its crime coverage responds to losses from criminal activities including theft, fraud, and certain cybercrimes, flagged as subject to exclusions and limitations. Embroker lists employee theft (including shoplifting, embezzlement and larceny), third-party theft, forgery, digital fraud, money laundering, counterfeit currency and social-engineering fraud. 4 9

Embroker says the policy excludes loss of income, indirect losses, crimes committed by executives or partners in coordination with employees, third-party liabilities from crime losses, and cybercrime losses involving stolen patents, trade secrets or customer lists. Coalition’s reviewed page states that exclusions and limitations apply, without publishing that exclusion list. 9 4

Limits

Coalition says limits up to $10 million per coverage line may be available for Executive Risks products, including crime, subject to exclusions and limitations. Embroker does not publish standard crime policy limits and says pricing depends on factors such as employee count, locations, revenue, office security measures and financial controls. 4 9

Eligibility

Coalition says Executive Risks products, including crime, are available to private and not-for-profit U.S. organizations in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with up to $500 million in assets, up to 1,000 employees, and up to $500 million in plan assets. Embroker points to businesses that hire part-time staff, handle cash transactions, manage inventory or expensive equipment, or handle customer data and digital transactions as more exposed. 4 9
