How a fidelity bond works

Fidelity protection responds to covered dishonest acts. The form identifies whose money or property is protected, the covered persons, and the applicable limits.

What this bond does

Business-service fidelity protection is intended to address covered employee theft involving a customer's assets while your business provides services. The actual offered form determines the protection.

Who needs it
Apply as the service business whose workers enter client premises or handle client assets, with the customer's written coverage request available.
Who is protected
The customer-property interest is the reason to consider this type of bond. Check that the proposed form covers the people and property in your contract; do not assume it provides the same protection as employer-focused dishonesty coverage.

Choose from 2 options

Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

The coverage amount describes a limit of protection, not the price. Match the requested protection and covered persons to the actual fidelity form. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Match the customer's request to the proposed form

Describe your services, work locations and workers' access to customer property. Identify owners, temporary staff or subcontractors separately so their coverage can be checked. Ask which claim conditions apply to the actual RLI form.

Choose one year or three years and select Purchase Now. RLI opens in a new tab to review the limit, dates and proposed terms. After issuance, keep the documents and provide the evidence your client requests.

Questions about this bond

Does this protect my own business's money?

That is the focus of the separately listed Texas Dishonesty Bond. This business-services listing should be compared with requests involving customer property.

Is this a guarantee that a job will be completed?

Business-service fidelity protection concerns covered dishonest acts. A performance or workmanship requirement needs its own bond comparison.

Must an employee be convicted before a claim?

Check the claim conditions in the actual proposed form. This listing does not establish a conviction requirement or promise payment without one.
