Embroker vs Marsh Crime Insurance

Embroker sells commercial crime as a standalone policy and says smaller businesses sometimes add crime coverage as an endorsement to a BOP or a directors and officers policy instead. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page description; not a statement about the issuing insurer.

Marsh's financial and professional liability practice places commercial crime insurance; Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA), the middle-market subsidiary, also places crime coverage bundled with fidelity as part of its executive and professional liability practice. ^9,10Company-reported.

The reviewed pages do not name a specific crime insurer. Marsh says definitions and extensions for crime coverage differ across insurers and that it works to secure coverage aligned with a client's risks, implying the carrier varies by placement. ⁹Not publicly disclosed.

Embroker points to businesses that hire part-time staff, handle cash transactions, manage inventory or expensive equipment, or handle customer data and digital transactions as more exposed and more likely to need the coverage. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page 'Who benefits most' section; not a formal underwriting appetite statement.

Product-page What's not included section.

Embroker distinguishes fidelity bonds from crime insurance: it says a crime policy typically carries higher limits, while a fidelity bond can reimburse customers who suffer crime-related damages. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page FAQ comparing fidelity bonds and commercial crime insurance.

Marsh lists employee white-collar fraud (including fidelity losses from trusted employees), third-party fraud, collusion, hacking or computer-related crime, social engineering fraud, and tangible asset theft as risks a commercial crime policy can address. It notes that crime policies usually exclude ransomware, though most cover direct financial losses from funds stolen by hackers. ⁹Company-reported. Commercial crime insurance page; the page is Marsh's global/UK financial-professional-liability practice content and cites a UK-based crime leader, so figures and coverage descriptions may not reflect a US-specific program.

Embroker says crime insurance pricing depends on factors like employee count and locations, revenue, office security measures and financial controls, and that fidelity bonds typically cost 0.5% to 2% of the bond value; it does not publish standard policy limits. ⁴Company-reported. Product-page 'What does Commercial Crime insurance cost?' section.

Marsh says its team has experience handling complex crime placements ranging from about $10 million to $110 million (also stated in GBP as £10 million to £100 million elsewhere on the page), but does not publish standard limits, retentions or premiums for a specific placement. ⁹Company-reported.

The reviewed crime page does not describe a dedicated online quote flow for crime insurance the way Embroker's BOP and general liability pages do; it directs buyers to a general 'Get a Quote' link. ⁴Not publicly disclosed. Product page as read on 2026-09-23.

You engage Marsh's crime specialists (Marsh corporate or MMA) directly to identify crime exposure and place coverage; the reviewed pages describe advisor-led placement rather than an online quote tool. ^9,10Company-reported.
