What Are the Key Differences Between AIG and CFC Crime Insurance?

AIG describes crime as a separate insurance product; CFC includes its US crime cover inside a Management Liability package.

AIG describes Crime Insurance as a risk-bearing product and links a CrimeGuard Choice sample policy. CFC’s reviewed US materials place crime inside a Management Liability package rather than as standalone cover, with company-crime protection for employee theft, funds-transfer fraud, and credit-card and currency fraud. A buyer wanting crime without the broader management-liability package should ask CFC whether another product applies; the cited package does not answer that. [1] [6]

What Should You Confirm in AIG and CFC Crime Insurance Quotes?

  • AIG describes possible loss of money and securities through dishonesty, theft, and fraud. CFC also lists client crime and on/off-premises theft, and provides phone, email, and online claim notification with a dedicated adjuster managing the claim through resolution. Those details affect whose property and acts may be covered and how a loss is reported. Compare policy definitions and exclusions, not just the shared label “crime.” [1]
  • Ask AIG which employee, client, and funds-transfer scenarios are covered in the proposed form. [6]

Crime coverage

AIG

  • role: AIG markets crime insurance as a risk-bearing insurance product for commercial and governmental entities, separate from its financial-institution bond offering. The policy issuer is not named for a particular buyer. Role in this product is limited to the description on the linked AIG source.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: AIG says its crime insurance is available for commercial and governmental entities. Financial-institution bonds are described separately for banks, non-bank lenders, asset managers and insurance companies. Audience is the segment AIG names on the linked source; this is not an underwriting decision, quote or guarantee of availability.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: AIG describes potential crime coverage for loss of money, securities and other assets from dishonesty, theft or fraud, including computer fraud. AIG links a CrimeGuard Choice sample policy; actual terms and state availability vary. AIG’s public product description is not the policy. Actual entitlement depends on the applicable issued form, endorsements and declarations.company-reportedSource ↗
  • services: AIG identifies a dedicated underwriting team and experienced claims professionals for its Crime and Fidelity business. The page does not promise claim outcomes or specify account-level service terms. The linked page describes company-reported support; specific account services and third-party arrangements must be confirmed.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: The reviewed page and linked product overview do not state a standard buyer-specific limit, retention or deductible. Confirm those in the quote and issued policy. This statement reports only what the linked public source discloses and does not substitute for a quote or issued policy.not-disclosedSource ↗

CFC

  • role: CFC includes crime coverage inside its US Management Liability package. The reviewed management-liability materials do not offer it as a standalone product within that package. Management-liability product page and brochure; package composition as CFC describes it.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • eligibility: CFC's brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among the risks it declines for the package that carries this crime coverage. Brochure's 'What we decline' list; underwriting still applies to any individual business.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: CFC's brochure describes company crime cover including employee theft, funds transfer fraud, and credit card and currency fraud. Brochure's 'Crime cover' description; the issued policy wording determines the actual insuring agreements and any sub-limits.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The brochure also lists client crime, meaning fraud by clients or their staff, and on-premises and off-premises theft, as part of the crime section. Brochure's 'Crime cover' description.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: CFC separately sells crime coverage for employee infidelity and third-party fraud within its fintech package. The reviewed pages do not state whether that fintech crime coverage is the same crime coverage sold inside the management-liability package. Fintech product page compared against the management-liability brochure; both accessed 2026-09-23. This does not establish overlap or difference in wording between the two products.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • limits: The reviewed brochure does not publish a dollar limit, sublimit or retention for crime coverage. Those figures appear only on the quote and declarations. Brochure as read on 2026-09-23.not-disclosedSource ↗
  • insurer: CFC's regulatory page discloses CFC Underwriting Limited's FCA authorization and CFC's Lloyd's Syndicate 1988, managed by Asta Managing Agency Ltd, but neither the regulatory page nor the management-liability brochure names the carrier or syndicate that would issue a given US crime policy. Regulatory information page and brochure as read on 2026-09-23.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • claims: CFC provides a US claim-notification route by phone, email and online form, and says a dedicated claims adjuster manages a claim from notification through resolution. Claims page as read on 2026-09-23; not specific to crime claim outcomes or timing.company-reportedSource ↗
