What Exance Crime Insurance covers

  • Employee Theft

    Crime Insurance provides coverage for financial losses resulting from theft, embezzlement, or fraud committed by employees. Whether funds are stolen directly or through manipulation of financial records, this protection ensures that businesses can recover from the financial impact of dishonest actions.

    This coverage allows brokers to address a common concern for businesses, ensuring their clients can mitigate risks associated with employee dishonesty.

  • Forgery and Alteration

    Our policy covers losses stemming from forged or altered financial documents, such as checks, promissory notes, or drafts. Fraudulent alterations can significantly disrupt business operations, but Crime Insurance ensures that these risks are mitigated.

    Brokers can highlight this coverage as a critical component for businesses relying on high-volume transactions and paper-based or electronic financial documents.

  • Cybercrime and Electronic Fraud

    Crime Insurance extends to losses caused by cybercrime, including phishing, email scams, and unauthorized electronic transfers. As digital threats continue to rise, businesses need comprehensive protection against the financial consequences of online fraud.

    Offering this coverage allows brokers to address one of the most pressing modern risks for their clients.

  • Third-Party Theft

    Losses caused by external parties, such as burglary, robbery, or theft by vendors, are also covered. This includes physical theft of cash, inventory, or valuable assets. Businesses can rely on Crime Insurance to recover financial stability after such incidents.

    This feature supports brokers in providing a complete risk management package for clients concerned about external threats.

  • Client Property

    Crime Insurance can protect businesses against losses involving client property under their care, custody, or control. This is particularly valuable for service providers, such as accountants or legal firms, who may handle client funds or assets.

    This coverage helps brokers serve clients in professional sectors with unique risk exposures.

  • Vendor and Contractor Fraud

    Losses caused by fraudulent activities or dishonesty from vendors or contractors are covered under this policy. Businesses often rely on third-party relationships, and this protection ensures they can recover from financial damage caused by these external partnerships.

    Brokers can position this coverage as a solution for mitigating third-party relationship risks.

  • Money and Securities Coverage

    Crime Insurance provides protection for the physical theft or loss of cash, securities, or negotiable instruments. This applies to both on-premises incidents and in-transit thefts, ensuring comprehensive financial protection.

    Highlighting this feature allows brokers to offer reassurance to businesses managing high-value transactions.

  • Social Engineering Fraud

    Losses resulting from manipulative tactics, such as impersonation or deceptive communication, are covered under social engineering fraud protection. Businesses can safeguard against financial losses from these sophisticated schemes.

    This modern addition to Crime Insurance helps brokers address emerging fraud risks in the digital age.

  • What Is Not Covered

    Crime Insurance typically does not cover:

    • General business errors or omissions.
    • Legal fees related to pursuing criminal charges.
    • Known fraudulent activities occurring before the policy start date.
    • Cyber extortion or ransomware (covered under Cyber Insurance).

    Brokers should ensure clients understand these exclusions to manage expectations and consider additional policies for comprehensive protection.
