WTW also discloses separate insurer-side services in some arrangements; this does not determine the role in a specific engagement.

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.

Gallagher describes Fidelity and Crime insurance as covering losses from fraudulent or dishonest acts, including credit card forgery, computer fraud, funds-transfer fraud, employee fraud, theft and destruction of property. ⁶Company-reported. Small-business crime product page; a coverage description, not a specific policy's insuring agreement or exclusions.

WTW's FY2024 annual report lists crime insurance solutions within its global Financial, Executive and Professional Risks (FINEX) practice. ¹¹Company-reported. Historical group-level service description only; it does not establish current U.S. availability, insurer, policy form, or a buyer's eligibility.

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.

For larger accounts, Gallagher says its methodology for setting crime coverage limits includes peer analysis using third-party databases and an exposure index developed by the Surety Association of America with the American Institute of Accountants. ³Company-reported.

WTW's North American terms describe reviewing binders, policies, and endorsements against the terms negotiated with the insurer. ¹²Company-reported.

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. Applies to placements governed by the cited North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms. It does not establish a self-service quote route or promise coverage availability for this line.
