Crime Coverage
Travelers Canada Fidelity and Crime coverage helps protect your business from a wide range of exposures to crimes committed by employees and certain types of fraud committed by third parties. Our coverages offer protection from losses and claim expenses that result from credit card forgery or alteration crimes, computer fraud and theft, stealing and embezzlement, and destruction of property.
While high-profile cases of fraud, forgery and social engineering schemes carried out on a national or global scale tend to make the headlines, any size business may be a victim of commercial crimes like fraud and embezzlement, theft or destruction of property. Often, such crimes are committed by trusted employees and are perpetrated for years before being detected. Establishing internal controls and an employee tip line are important defenses against employee dishonesty, but there is no substitute for Travelers Commercial Crime insurance to protect your business.
As a business owner, it may be difficult to imagine an employee could commit such crimes at your expense. With a wide perspective on the risk and the trends and realities facing today's businesses, Travelers can help you take the right steps to ensure you are covered, leaving you free to move forward with confidence.

At least one in five cases cost companies $1 million or more, with the median loss being $130,000. A majority of victims recover nothing. In one case, an employee received an email that appeared to be from the company's CFO. The email requested a wire transfer to an overseas bank account to complete the acquisition of a small competitor.
The email stressed urgency and the need for secrecy until the acquisition could be formally announced. The employee wired $400,000 as instructed. Another email arrived requesting that a second $400,000 be wired to the same bank. Another $400,000 was sent.
