Fidelity Bonds are a type of insurance that protect businesses from losses caused by dishonest acts of their employees, such as theft, fraud, or embezzlement. These bonds are particularly important for businesses that handle significant amounts of cash, valuable assets, or sensitive information. Fidelity Bonds provide a financial safety net, ensuring that your business can recover from employee-related losses.
A Fidelity Bond involves three key parties:
If an employee commits a dishonest act that results in a financial loss for the business, the business can file a claim against the Fidelity Bond. The surety will investigate the claim and, if valid, compensate the business up to the bond amount.
Employee Dishonesty Bonds
Employee Dishonesty Bonds protect businesses from financial losses due to fraudulent or dishonest acts committed by employees. This includes theft of money, property, or securities.
Business Service Bonds
Business Service Bonds protect your clients if one of your employees commits theft while performing services on the client’s premises. This bond is particularly important for businesses such as cleaning services, maintenance companies, and contractors who work on clients’ property.
ERISA Bonds
ERISA Bonds are required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) for businesses that handle employee benefit plans. These bonds protect the plan from losses due to fraud or dishonesty by the plan’s fiduciaries.
Financial Protection
Fidelity Bonds provide financial protection by compensating your business for losses caused by employee dishonesty. This helps ensure that your business can recover and continue operations without significant financial strain.
Trust and Credibility
Obtaining Fidelity Bonds demonstrates a commitment to protecting your business and clients from potential risks. This builds trust and credibility with clients, partners, and stakeholders.
