BankInsure Policies
** Inc. Cap & Ded” refers to “Including Cap and Deductible” in the context of these insurance policies. This indicates that the coverage specified in the policy includes both a cap (maximum limit) on the amount the insurer will pay for covered losses and a deductible (out-of-pocket amount) that the insured must pay before the insurance coverage takes effect. The cap and deductible terms help define the financial parameters and responsibilities for both the insurer and the insured in the event of a covered claim.

Bank Client Captive Insurance Case Study
A prominent financial institution faced challenges securing comprehensive insurance through traditional means. The leadership recognized the need for a more customized solution. They aimed to leverage the captive insurance for enhanced risk mitigation and profitability.
Challenge: Traditional insurance options for the bank’s cyber liability fell short due to numerous exclusions, particularly related to cyber breaches originating from foreign states. Recognizing the limitations of conventional coverage, the bank leadership sought a tailored approach to safeguard the bank’s interests.
Solution: The bank partnered with CIC Services to establish a captive insurance company, a strategic move to address their cyber liability concerns. By creating a captive insurance structure, the bank aimed to assume a portion of the risk associated with cybersecurity incidents. This approach not only provided tailored coverage but also served as a catalyst for the implementation of stronger risk mitigation measures.
Outcome: The bank’s adoption of captive insurance not only addressed its specific risk profile but also provided a range of benefits:
- Customized Coverage: The captive insurance model allowed the Bank to design coverage specifically tailored to their unique cyber risk profile, overcoming the limitations of traditional policies.
- Incentivized Risk Mitigation: By assuming a share of the risk, the Bank was motivated to invest in robust cybersecurity infrastructure and implement best practices. This proactive stance on risk management contributed to strengthening the overall cybersecurity posture.
- Underwriting Gains and Profitability: The captive insurance structure incentivized a proactive approach to risk management, with underwriting gains directly impacting the bank’s bottom line, enhancing overall profitability.
“Currently our investment portfolio makes $2 million a year, when we started our captive, all our assets added together didn’t make $2 million, now our captive alone makes that amount.”
