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 ↗

CNA

  • coverage: CNA currently lists Crime among its Management Liability coverages and says Epack 3 can flexibly combine crime with selected management-liability exposures. The product page establishes a marketed option, not that all component lines must be purchased together.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: CNA describes management-liability risks for private and public companies and not-for-profit organizations. This is broad segment context, not a crime-specific acceptance rule.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: CNA directs agents seeking an application to its Agent Center. The page does not state that a business can apply directly or identify all documents required for crime coverage.company-reportedSource ↗
  • role: CNA describes Epack 3 as a modular policy with a selected mix of management-liability parts rather than one mandatory bundle. The page does not establish which components a buyer can select for a specific risk or whether the crime coverage is offered standalone.company-reportedSource ↗

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

CNA lists Crime among Management Liability coverages in Epack 3, a modular policy that combines selected management-liability parts rather than requiring one fixed bundle.

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

  • AIG identifies a dedicated underwriting team and experienced claims professionals for Crime and Fidelity. CNA directs agents to its Agent Center for applications but the reviewed materials do not describe crime-specific loss triggers, limits, or claims handling. Thus the buyer has more product detail in AIG’s public record; a CNA submission should request the crime form and its crime-specific schedule before comparing coverage. [1]
  • Ask AIG for crime limits, retentions, covered acts, and the claims reporting contact. [4]
