This specialised insurance can help to protect businesses and organisations from the financial repercussions that can arise from these unfortunate events.

By obtaining Crime and Fidelity Insurance, business owners and organisations can take proactive measures to safeguard their financial interests and mitigate the risks associated with employee-related crimes.

Credit Unions must have Fidelity Insurance, which can provide cover for fraud and dishonesty committed by their employees and officers. Having a Crime Insurance policy which includes Fidelity Cover, can help to protect a Credit Union’s savings from any fraudulent action (i.e. theft of money) by the Credit Union or its employees.
