FGIB:Protect Your Organization and People with Kidnap, Ransom & Extortion Insurance

Each year, kidnappers rake in an estimated $1.5 billion in ransom payments with an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 reported kidnappings taking place globally. Among the prime targets are wealthy businessmen and their families and professionals here at home and traveling abroad. This includes those in the financial sector, such as banks and thrifts and securities firm, and businesses of all types including IT firms, healthcare firms, and non-profit organizations. Financial Guaranty Insurance Brokers (FGIB) provides flexible Kidnap, Ransom & Extortion (K&R) coverage, along with crisis management services, in the event of an incident through our top-tier insurers, to protect you and your valuable employees.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“Words cannot express my sincere thanks to FGIB. In 2009 our bank was put into a regulatory C & D. Our Fidelity and D & O Bond was cancelled, without notice, from a company that the bank had been with for over 20 years. The cancellation shocked us, since we had an additional 17 months until the Bond’s expiration date.

It was an extremely difficult time for our bank. Fortunately, we were put in contact with FGIB. FGIB was able to find reasonable coverage for our Fidelity and D & O Bond, when no one else would. We have been a customer ever since. We appreciate FGIB’s honest, personal, and professional service.”

“We have known Financial Guaranty for more than ten years. They have proven to be an important resource and business partner for the bank, and have earned all of our business because of their knowledge of the market, great customer service, sound advice and outstanding staff. I have never hesitated to refer other financial professionals to FGIB because I know that FGIB can get the job done for them.”
