What it is

A fidelity bond (also called an employee dishonesty bond) reimburses your business if a covered employee steals money, property, or commits fraud against you. Unlike a business service bond, which protects your clients, a fidelity bond protects you, the employer.

Who needs it

  • Businesses whose employees handle cash, payments, or client funds
  • Companies a contract or client requires to carry employee-dishonesty coverage
  • Owners who want to protect the business against internal theft

Bond amounts and requirements are general guidance and can change. Confirm the current requirement with the listed agency before you file. We will quote your exact bond.

Fidelity Bond FAQs

What is the difference between a fidelity bond and a business service bond?
A fidelity bond protects your business against your own employees' theft. A business service (janitorial) bond protects your clients if your employee steals from them. Many service businesses consider both.
How much fidelity coverage do I need?
There is no fixed amount. You choose a coverage level based on your exposure or what a contract requires. We will help you size it and quote it.
