What Are the Key Differences Between Beazley and Chubb Crime Insurance?
Standalone Limit Versus Digital Package
Beazley sells Commercial Crime as its own policy for commercial companies, with a separate bond product for banks and other financial institutions. Chubb includes Crime as one of seven coverage parts in ForeFront Portfolio, which can be quoted, bound and issued digitally through Chubb Marketplace. Chubb publishes no crime limits, only claim scenarios from over $100,000 to over $1 million. Choose Beazley if you need a standalone crime policy with a high published ceiling; choose Chubb if you have fewer than 250 employees and under $50 million in revenue and want crime bundled with your other management coverages.

Social-Engineering Conditions and Insured Workers
Beazley’s fraudulent-instruction cover pays only if you verified the payment instruction out of band, so a finance team without that control could leave a wire-fraud loss uncovered. Chubb lists social-engineering fraud and funds-transfer fraud and extends employee theft to temporary and contracted workers, which matters if outside staff handle your money. [1] [5]
