Corgi vs Relm Insurance 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.

Relm lists Commercial Crime as one of three crime products (alongside Digital Asset Crime and Smart Contract Crime, covered in Relm's separate digital-assets offering record) on its crime insurance line-of-business page. ⁹Company-reported. Relm line-of-business page (Relm sells through brokers); not a statement identifying the issuing insurer for a given placement.

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 reviewed page does not name a specific issuing insurer for commercial crime placements. ⁹Not publicly disclosed. Line-of-business page as read on 2026-09-23; a specific placement's insurer is product- and jurisdiction-specific.

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.

Relm says crime coverage is relevant for any business that holds assets, whether fiat or digital, arguing that even strong security controls leave a gap the insurance can close. ⁹Company-reported. Crime page 'Who Needs Crime Coverage?' section; not a guarantee of eligibility for a particular company.

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.

Relm's commercial crime coverage addresses traditional theft such as embezzlement, forgery and funds transfer fraud, alongside crime risks tied to digital infrastructure and alternative asset models. ⁹Company-reported. Crime page 'What is Commercial Crime Coverage?' section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Relm says its crime underwriting considers emerging attack methods such as flash-loan attacks that drain DeFi protocol liquidity and oracle manipulation that tricks smart contracts into faulty decisions, in addition to legacy fraud vulnerabilities. ⁹Company-reported. Crime page 'What Crime Risks Do Innovative Companies Face?' section; describes underwriting focus, not specific policy wording.

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. Illustrative policy structure on the product page ('Anatomy of a $1M / $1M / $10K Crime & Fidelity Policy'); actual limits and retentions appear on the declarations and Corgi says standard limits scale with payment volume for growth-stage and at-scale companies.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Corgi says it can issue Crime & Fidelity coverage and a binder the same day, and offers instant quotes in under 10 minutes through its online application. ⁶Company-reported. FAQ marketing claims on the product page; quote and bind speed are not independently verified.

Relm sells crime insurance coverage through insurance brokers; its reviewed pages do not describe a direct online quote. ⁹Company-reported. Crime page framing; consistent with Relm's broader broker-distribution model.
