What Are the Key Differences Between Coverdash and HUB International Crime Insurance?

HUB’s buyer list explicitly includes public companies and nonprofits, while Coverdash describes crime for any business that handles money, payroll or inventory. HUB directs buyers to a broker contact rather than an online quote. [6] [3]

Vendor Theft HUB Names

HUB lists employee theft, vendor theft, forgery, asset misappropriation, computer fraud and funds transfer fraud. Coverdash describes employee theft of money, property or assets, forged checks and counterfeit currency, fraudulent funds-transfer instructions, and social-engineering losses; its reviewed cards do not use the labels vendor theft or asset misappropriation. [6] [3]

Organization Types Versus Money Handlers

HUB says crime is available for private, public and not-for-profit organizations. Coverdash markets to any business that handles money, payroll or valuable inventory. Neither page publishes limits; HUB cites industry fraud statistics such as organizations losing about 5% of revenue to fraud each year. [6] [3]

Cyber Overlap Coverdash Flags

Coverdash’s coverage hub lists commercial crime separately from cyber even though both can respond to funds-transfer fraud and social engineering, without stating how overlapping claims are coordinated. HUB’s reviewed crime page does not discuss that cyber coordination. [4] [6]

What Should You Confirm in Coverdash and HUB International Crime Insurance Quotes?

  • Get both issuing carriers and limits; neither crime page names them. [3] [6]
  • Ask HUB whether vendor theft and asset misappropriation are on the bound form. [6]
  • Ask Coverdash how crime and cyber would coordinate. [4]
  • If you are a public company, HUB lists that organization type; Coverdash’s page is framed around money, payroll and inventory. [6] [3]
