FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Financial Institutions Directors & Officers Liability

Protects directors and officers of public, private and not-for-profit financial institutions against loss arising out of their status or conduct as directors or officers. As businesses become more regulated through increased levels of corporate governance, EU Directives, Health and Safety, etc., the scope for suing individual directors and officers increases. The consequences of this can be severe with hefty legal bills and increasing damages awarded against directors and officers.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Are there any territories that are outside of appetite?

We do not write Bankers Blanket Bonds in Mexico, but we can still consider Financial Institution Professional Indemnity and D&O there. We do not write business in Colombia. We do not write business in Egypt.

Aside from these specific examples and territories where we are prohibited from writing business, we are willing and able to consider a wide range of different territories and consider each risk and territory on a case-by-case basis.
Do you also consider crime outside of Financial Institutions?

Yes, within this team, we can write Crime for both Financial Institutions and commercial entities.
