What Are the Key Differences Between HUB International and Marsh Fidelity Bonds?

Separate Bond Listings Versus Crime Coverage

HUB ProEx lists Crime/Fidelity under executive liability and Financial Institution Bonds for financial institutions. Marsh does not list a standalone fidelity bond on the reviewed pages; its crime materials include fidelity, and MMA presents commercial crime/fidelity as one practice item. [1] [3] [2] Choose HUB if you need a financial-institution bond or separate ProEx bond listing; choose Marsh if you want fidelity handled within a commercial-crime program.

Catalogue Versus Loss Description

HUB’s page gives no further description of insuring agreements, dishonest-act scenarios or exclusions. Marsh describes employee white-collar fraud by trusted staff exploiting systems for personal gain, and says those fidelity losses are about half of crime-policy notifications in its data. [1] [2]

How You Reach the Desk

HUB directs prospects to a ProEx specialist and says that team provides analytics, litigation support and risk-management. Marsh’s reviewed pages send you to a Marsh or MMA crime-and-fidelity specialist because the cover sits with commercial crime. Neither names the issuing insurer or publishes a bond penalty. [1] [2] [3]

What Should You Confirm in HUB International and Marsh Fidelity Bonds Quotes?

  • Ask HUB whether you need Crime/Fidelity, a financial institution bond, or both, and which carrier is on the form. [1]
  • Ask Marsh whether the quote is a crime policy covering employee fidelity or a separate bond. [2] [3]
  • Compare ProEx analytics and litigation support with Marsh’s crime-practice servicing on the same loss. [1] [2]
  • Get limits, retentions and discovery wording from both. [1] [2]

HUB International

  • role: HUB places crime and fidelity bond coverage, including financial institution bonds, through its ProEx Professional & Executive Risk practice alongside other executive-liability and financial-institution lines, rather than underwriting these bonds itself.

  • coverage: HUB's ProEx coverage list names "Crime / Fidelity" as an Executive Liability offering and "Financial Institution Bonds" as a separate Financial Institutions offering, but the page gives no further description of insuring agreements, covered dishonest-act scenarios or exclusions for either.

  • eligibility: No size, industry or state eligibility criteria specific to fidelity bonds or financial institution bonds were found on the ProEx page. Checked the ProEx page on 2026-09-23; these coverages are listed among many others without their own eligibility description.not-foundSource ↗
  • insurer: No insurer is named for Crime/Fidelity or Financial Institution Bonds on the ProEx page; HUB says ProEx places over $2 billion in premium with carriers it calls top-rated, without naming them. Checked the ProEx page on 2026-09-23.not-foundSource ↗

Marsh

  • role: Marsh does not sell fidelity coverage as a separate product line in the pages reviewed.

MMA executive and professional liability page and Marsh's commercial crime page.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • coverage: Marsh describes employee white-collar fraud, meaning fidelity losses caused by trusted employees who exploit systems for personal gain, as one of the risks a commercial crime policy addresses; it says these losses make up about half of the crime-policy notifications in its data. Commercial crime insurance page; a fidelity-specific policy form was not identified as a distinct product from crime coverage.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: The reviewed pages do not name a specific insurer for fidelity or crime/fidelity coverage. Commercial crime insurance and MMA executive and professional liability pages as read on 2026-09-23.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: You would engage a Marsh or MMA crime and fidelity specialist directly, since fidelity is placed together with commercial crime rather than through a separate application path in the reviewed pages.
