What Are the Key Differences Between Alliance Risk and Coverdash Crime Insurance?
Buy Online or Talk to a Broker First
Both companies arrange crime coverage as brokers, not insurers. Coverdash lets you get a quote and buy online, and add other lines in the same flow; Alliance Risk's crime page doesn't describe an online bind, so expect a conversation before you get terms. Choose Coverdash if you want crime cover bought online in one sitting; choose Alliance Risk if you want burglary, robbery or client-property theft in scope and a sense of price before you talk.

What Each Page Says Is Covered
Both list employee theft, forgery, funds-transfer fraud and social-engineering losses. Alliance Risk adds burglary, robbery and safe burglary, offers client-property theft by endorsement, and says hacking belongs on a cyber policy. Coverdash lists crime separately from cyber, though both can respond to wire fraud, and neither explains how overlapping claims are coordinated. [2] [5] [6]
Who It's Pitched To and What It Costs
Coverdash pitches crime to any business that handles money, payroll or valuable inventory. Alliance Risk names cash-handling firms, accounting teams, nonprofits with volunteer financial oversight, and finance, retail, healthcare or logistics. Only Alliance Risk publishes typical premiums, from $500–$2,000 a year for small businesses up to $10,000–$50,000+ for large enterprises; neither publishes limits or retentions. [5] [2]
What Should You Confirm in Alliance Risk and Coverdash Crime Insurance Quotes?
-
Get the issuing insurer from both; neither commercial-crime page names it. [2] [5]
-
If you also buy cyber, ask which policy pays a funds-transfer or social-engineering loss first. [6] [2]
-
Confirm whether burglary, robbery, safe burglary and client-property theft appear on the Coverdash-placed form. [2] [5]

Compare deductibles, and ask whether business-income loss from crime can be endorsed, which Alliance Risk treats as excluded unless added. [2] [5]
