Is Crime Insurance right for you?

  • Businesses that pay vendors by wire or ACH

    An impersonator who persuades an employee to send a payment is a loss many buyers don’t think to ask about.

  • Companies with staff handling cash or inventory

    Employee theft is the classic crime exposure, and a shortage you can show only through inventory calculations may not count, so ask how each quote treats it.

  • Service providers holding client property

    Client assets are a separate question from your own, so check how the policy defines insured property before you rely on it.

  • Organizations with volunteers or contractors

    Whether those people count as employees under the policy varies, and it can affect whether a loss they cause is covered.

When to get Crime Insurance

  • 01

    You started paying vendors electronically

    Ask whether funds-transfer fraud and impersonation are included, and have your callback and approval process ready to describe.

  • 02

    You discovered a theft that happened earlier

    Check the policy’s discovery and reporting deadlines now, and tell your Spot team so the loss history stays accurate.

  • 03

    You’re opening another location

    Update counts and the money or property at risk. A new site changes the exposure the policy is built on.

  • 04

    You’re replacing an existing policy

    Ask how the quote treats theft that happened before the new policy starts, and how reporting works after a change of insurer.

  • 05

    You hold client assets

    Confirm the policy defines clients and their property in a way that reaches what you actually hold.

Crime Insurance questions

Also known as commercial crime insurance, business crime insurance, social engineering fraud insurance and funds transfer fraud insurance.

Can Spot review our existing crime policy with our broker?

Yes. Spot works alongside your broker, checks which insuring agreements your current policy has, and takes no commissions on premiums. If you want a different broker at renewal, we can help you switch.

What does crime insurance cover?

It can help you recover from specified theft and fraud losses, including robbery, forgery and embezzlement. Which of those you’re covered for depends on the causes of loss in the policy you buy.

Does it cover a payment my employee sent after a fake email?

It may not. Ask each insurer directly whether the policy covers social engineering fraud, where an impersonator tricks an employee into sending a payment. Spot raises it with every crime proposal you compare.

How is crime different from cyber?

Crime addresses stolen money or property, while cyber addresses breach response and liability. They can overlap on fraud, so compare both.

What will insurers ask about?

Expect questions on employee and location counts, the money or property at risk and prior losses, and on controls such as bank reconciliations, separation of payment duties, approval steps and how you confirm vendor bank changes.
