Key Differences in Crime Insurance

Who Carries the Risk

RiskCube compares carrier options for commercial crime and discloses that it is not an insurance carrier. Travelers underwrites fidelity and crime through multiple insuring agreements under Management & Professional Liability, and the product-page video names Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America and its property-casualty affiliates. 4 3 8

Insuring Agreements Versus a Catalogue Card

Travelers lists forgery or alteration, loss of money and securities, claim-expense reimbursement, employee dishonesty and theft, funds-transfer fraud, computer fraud, employee fraud and social-engineering fraud, plus a social-engineering fraud endorsement and Coverage 101 resources. RiskCube’s card summarizes employee theft, fraud, forgery and social-engineering attacks without listing separate agreements or an endorsement program. 8 4

Startup Intake Versus Agent Placement

RiskCube positions the line for startups handling client funds, payment data or a distributed team and describes a short digital intake aiming for vendor-ready proof of coverage in about 24 hours. Travelers markets to nonprofits, private companies and public companies and sells through a Travelers independent agent. Neither reviewed page publishes crime limits as policy terms. 4 8

What to Confirm in Crime Insurance Quotes

  • Ask which Travelers affiliate issues the policy and which agreements and endorsements attach. 8
  • Get RiskCube’s named carrier and whether computer fraud and funds-transfer fraud are on the form. 3 4
  • Compare social-engineering treatment: Travelers offers an endorsement; RiskCube names the exposure on the card. 8 4
