Corgi vs WTW: How Do They Compare for 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.

Under WTW's North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, WTW normally acts as the client's insurance intermediary for engagements governed by those terms. ¹²Company-reported. Terms for applicable North American Corporate Risk & Broking engagements. WTW also discloses separate insurer-side services in some arrangements; this does not determine the role in a specific engagement.

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 WTW sources do not identify an issuing insurer for a specific crime placement. ^12,11Not publicly disclosed. This is a gap in the cited marketing, annual-report, and brokerage materials; it does not mean WTW lacks insurer markets. Confirm the carrier on the quote and issued policy.

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.

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.

WTW's FY2024 annual report lists crime insurance solutions within its global Financial, Executive and Professional Risks (FINEX) practice. ¹¹Company-reported.

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.

The reviewed sources do not state a buyer-specific crime limit, retention, or deductible. ^12,11Not publicly disclosed. No limit or deductible is inferred from general marketing or WTW's brokerage role; the insurer's quote and issued forms control.

WTW's North American terms say an insurer quote is not confirmation of coverage; if the client orders binding, WTW seeks a formal insurer commitment, typically a binder. ¹²Company-reported.
