Crime

Protection against theft, fraud, and dishonesty

The losses that come from inside and out — employee theft, forgery, fraud, and funds transfer schemes — aren't covered by a standard property policy. Commercial crime coverage is, and we place it to match how your money actually moves.

WHAT CRIME COVERS

The losses a property policy leaves out.

Commercial crime insurance protects your business against financial loss from theft, fraud, and dishonesty — including losses caused by your own employees. It covers exposures a standard property policy specifically excludes: employee theft of money or property, forgery, robbery, and increasingly the social-engineering and funds-transfer fraud schemes that trick businesses into sending money to criminals.

The internal exposure is the one businesses most underestimate. Employee dishonesty is one of the most common and costly crime losses, and it often goes undetected for a long time before it surfaces. Owners tend to trust their teams — reasonably — but crime coverage exists precisely because trust isn't a financial control, and a single scheme can run into serious money.

The external threats have evolved quickly. Fraudulent instruction, fake-vendor schemes, and impersonation of executives now cause losses that older policies didn't anticipate, and coverage for them varies significantly between forms. Matching your business — and the specific ways money moves through it — to a policy that actually covers those methods is where a knowledgeable agent protects you.

common questions

The questions we hear the most

Doesn't my property policy cover theft?

Only in limited ways. Standard property policies typically exclude employee theft and many fraud schemes. Commercial crime coverage is the policy built for dishonesty, forgery, and funds-transfer fraud.

We trust our employees — is employee theft coverage necessary?

Trust and financial controls are different things. Employee dishonesty is among the most common crime losses and often goes undetected for a long time. Coverage protects the business regardless of how much you trust your team.

Does crime insurance cover social-engineering fraud?

It can, but coverage for fraudulent-instruction and social-engineering schemes varies significantly by policy — some include it, some require it be added. Because these schemes are now so common, we make sure your form actually addresses them.

How is crime coverage priced?

By your business size, number of employees, how money and inventory move through your operation, and the limits you choose. Start a quote or call and we will shop it and confirm the right coverage extensions.
