Corgi vs Lockton Crime Insurance

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. ⁶Company-reported. Product page for form CORG-CRM-0100, last reviewed by Corgi on April 24, 2026 per the page itself.

Lockton places Crime and Fidelity insurance to protect businesses against financial losses from theft, fraud, forgery and embezzlement by employees or third parties; it describes this as a brokered program, not a policy Lockton underwrites. ¹⁰Company-reported. Crime and Fidelity product page as read 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. ¹Company-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.

The page does not name the insurers Lockton places crime and fidelity coverage with. ¹⁰Not publicly disclosed. Crime and Fidelity page checked 2026-09-23.

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. ⁶Company-reported. Industry-applicability section of the product page; other startups can also buy the policy, and eligibility for any given business depends on underwriting.

Lockton says crime coverage is relevant to nonprofit, private and public organizations of any sector, and calls out small businesses as particularly exposed because they often lack fraud-prevention and auditing resources. It also notes financial institutions are frequently required to carry a financial institution bond, distinct from general crime coverage. ¹⁰Company-reported.

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. ⁶Company-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. ⁶Company-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. ⁶Company-reported. Product-page glossary and FAQ description of form CORG-CRM-0100.

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. ⁶Company-reported.
