What Are the Key Differences Between Corgi and Marsh McLennan Agency Crime Insurance?

What the Offering Describes

Corgi sells Crime & Fidelity as a standalone startup policy and lists employee dishonesty, social engineering, computer fraud, funds-transfer fraud, and forgery. Marsh McLennan Agency names commercial crime and fidelity as a line in its executive-risk offering but does not specify covered events. For fintechs moving customer money, the documented Corgi agreements make the starting scope more concrete. [3] [5]

Limits, Eligibility and Handling

Corgi’s illustrative structure shows $1 million per occurrence and aggregate with a $10,000 retention; social engineering is commonly sublimited to $250,000 and conditioned on out-of-band verification. Marsh McLennan Agency publishes no crime limit in its overview. Ask for Marsh McLennan Agency’s limit and controls before comparing that illustration with an actual quote. [3] [5]

Starting a Crime Placement

Corgi says its online application can provide an instant quote in under ten minutes and a binder the same day. Marsh McLennan Agency routes buyers to an adviser or specialist and does not state a timeline. Corgi’s product page does not identify which affiliated or partner carrier will issue an individual policy, so confirm that too. [3] [5]
