Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Fraud categories and policy definitions

Coverdash describes protection for employee theft of money, property or assets, forged checks and counterfeit currency, fraudulent transfer instructions and funds sent after social engineering. Zurich describes employee theft or forgery and separates computer fraud from funds-transfer fraud, with each tied to direct loss of money, securities or property under its stated definitions. Buyers should compare how each form treats impersonation, fraudulent instructions and the point where a transfer is considered covered. 4 8

Broker purchase and crime assessment

Coverdash arranges coverage through a carrier and describes a fully digital quote-to-purchase process that can add other lines. Zurich offers crime as a standalone policy or package solution and describes risk assessments through Zurich Resilience Solutions to identify vulnerabilities. A business preferring digital purchase can ask Coverdash which carrier and controls apply; Zurich applicants should ask whether an assessment is available and how recommendations relate to coverage. 4 8

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Coverdash for the issuing insurer, sublimits and definitions for social engineering and forged payments. 3
  • Ask Zurich for the standalone or package limit and the wording for computer and funds-transfer fraud. 8

Coverdash offers convenient quote comparison, but public customer feedback is sparse. A BBB unanswered-complaint record makes responsiveness worth checking before purchase.[1][4][6]

No reviews found

The available Zurich review evidence is mixed and comes from distinct populations: a car-rental-business editorial rating, broad global and U.S. review-platform snapshots, and a BBB business-profile grade. These are not a representative measure of every Zurich commercial policy or claim.[1][4][5][6][7]
