Key Differences in Fidelity Bonds

Catalog Bond Versus Executive-Risk Line

Coverdash places fidelity as a broker and lists it beside other bond types, with a one-line employee-dishonesty description. Newfront also brokers rather than underwrites, but it groups “Fidelity and Crime” as a single Key Coverage inside Executive Risk and does not separately describe employee-dishonesty bond terms. 3 4 9

Audience the Practice Describes

Coverdash’s surety page does not separately say who needs a fidelity bond; its eligibility text is written for surety bonds generally. Newfront says Executive Risk works with private companies from seed through later funding rounds and with more than 500 public companies, without a fidelity-only size cutoff. 4 9

Purchase Path and Servicing

Coverdash describes a fully digital quote-to-purchase process for the fidelity option. Newfront starts with a consultation request on the Executive Risk page, says clients can reach policies, certificates and billing through a connected dashboard, and describes integrated claims and coverage negotiation across those lines. Neither page names the issuing insurer or publishes a bond limit. 4 9

What to Confirm in Fidelity Bonds Quotes

  • Ask Coverdash for the carrier, form type and whether the bond is first-party or third-party. 4
  • Ask Newfront whether the quote is a fidelity bond, a crime policy, or a combined placement. 9
  • Compare penalty amounts; both reviewed pages leave limits and retentions undisclosed. 4 9
  • Ask Newfront how dashboard access and claims negotiation would work on a fidelity loss. 9
