Fidelity bond insurance is a type of crime coverage that guarantees protection against employee dishonesty.

  • Often required for contractors and financial service providers.

  • Builds trust with clients by showing you’re bonded against fraud.

Business Crime Coverage

Business crime coverage extends protection beyond employee theft.

  1. Forgery or alteration of checks.

  2. Computer fraud and cyber theft.

  3. Robbery or burglary of company property.

Commercial Crime Policy

A commercial crime policy is customizable to fit your business needs.

  • Covers both internal and external threats.

  • Can include protection against vendor fraud or third‑party scams.

Employee Dishonesty Policy

Employee dishonesty policies specifically insure against fraudulent acts by staff.

Embezzlement Insurance

  • Detecting embezzlement can take years; coverage ensures recovery.

  • Especially important for businesses with complex financial systems.

Regional Crime Insurance Coverage

Crime insurance is essential across the U.S., with unique risks in states like Arizona, Texas, and Florida. In Arizona, coverage often focuses on contractors and construction firms where employee theft can disrupt projects. 

Texas businesses, especially in trucking, oil, and construction, rely on crime insurance to safeguard payroll and assets against fraud and dishonesty. 

Florida companies, particularly in hospitality and healthcare, face high exposure to theft and fraud, making employee theft insurance critical for resilience. 

Together, these states highlight how crime insurance adapts to local industries while providing nationwide protection against theft, fraud, and embezzlement.
