What is Financial Institutions Insurance?

Financial institutions—like banks and other lending entities—need a variety of protections for their assets and employees. This is especially true of banks doing business overseas. Insurance companies like AIG that have different policies for political risk, directors and officers, management liability, and cyber security, can create flexible, comprehensive policies to address the types of exposures different institutions may face.



Financial institutions have risks that are both internal and external—everything from an unforeseen political event to litigation initiated by a current or former employee. As with other types of companies, financial institutions can also suffer errors and omissions, physical damage, fraud, and online security breaches. Financial Institution Insurance policies can cover all of the above and more.

The scenarios described herein are offered only as examples. Coverage depends on the actual facts of each case and the terms, conditions and exclusions of each individual policy. Anyone interested in the above product(s) should request a copy of the standard form of policy for a description of the scope and limitations of coverage.
