Financial Institutions FAQs
Why do financial institutions need specialist cover?
Their exposures — fiduciary duty, regulatory scrutiny, sophisticated fraud and large sums of client money — are far beyond standard commercial policies. Specialist programmes are designed around these specific risks.
What risks are most serious for financial firms?
Crime (internal and external fraud), professional liability from advice and administration, regulatory action, and cyber breaches of sensitive data. We structure cover across all of these as one programme.
Does it cover regulatory investigations?
Yes — cover can include the costs of responding to regulators like the FSCA and Prudential Authority, which is a real and growing exposure for licensed firms.
We're a fintech start-up — is this relevant to us?
Very. Fintechs carry many of the same exposures as established institutions, often with leaner defences. We tailor right-sized cover so you can grow and satisfy partners and regulators.
