What Is Crime Insurance?
Crime is rampant everywhere and is now one of the top reasons why businesses suffer losses. Crime Insurance is a first party and third party crime coverage, which only covers property and fund theft. However, it can also include property and funds entrusted to your care.
This kind of business insurance includes 8 Insurance Service Office (ISO) insuring agreements:
- Alteration or Forgery
- Employee Theft
- Theft of securities and money inside the business premises
- Safe burglary or robbery inside the business premises
- Theft outside the premises
- Funds transfer fraud
- Computer fraud
- Counterfeit money and Money Order fraud
Crime Insurance is necessary for all business sizes and types. In fact, crime inside the office is almost never a one-time incident. Once an employee develops the habit of stealing, it is very hard to stop it. In addition, an employee committing criminal acts can influence other employees to do the same. You could say, in some way, this coverage is like employee dishonesty insurance!
