What it is

Fidelity Bonds

A fidelity bond (often called Employee Dishonesty coverage or a Crime policy) reimburses a business or its clients for losses caused by employee theft, fraud, forgery, or similar dishonest acts.

One bad-actor employee can cost you a client — and a lawsuit. Many janitorial, in-home services, and financial-services clients require contractors to be bonded.

When this coverage pays off.

In-home theft

An employee takes valuables from a client’s home. The fidelity bond reimburses the client and protects the relationship.

Bookkeeper embezzlement

An accounting employee diverts funds over months. Coverage reimburses the loss.

Forged check

A forged check clears against the business account. Forgery coverage responds.

Common questions

Plain-language answers.

Is this insurance or a bond?

It is sold as a bond historically — but it functions like crime insurance for your business and clients.

Do I need it if I trust my team?

Trust is great; the bond is what your clients’ contracts often require. It is also what protects you against the one exception.

Does it cover the owner?

Most fidelity policies cover employees — owners and partners are typically excluded.
