Fidelity Bonds

Employee dishonesty is a widespread problem

At Merchants Bonding Company, we help mitigate this risk through our fidelity bond options. With ERISA bonds and three easy Theft Guard options to choose from, Merchants has a simple application process that offers protection for businesses from loss incurred by dishonest acts of employees.

Theft Guard Standard

For businesses with more exposure (like convenience stores, businesses with salespeople, non-profit businesses with employees covered).

Provides coverage if an employee steals from a customer or subscriber of the business service.

Contains conviction clause.

Theft Guard Pro

For professional businesses (like accountants, architects, physicians, dentists, insurance agents and attorneys).

Coverage applies when an employee steals from the professional business; not if the employee steals from a customer or subscriber.

No conviction clause.

Theft Guard Janitorial

For a janitorial service that has exposure to employee dishonesty from the employee entering a customer's premises.

Provides coverage to the employer for an employee who steals from a subscriber or customer of the business.

Contains conviction clause.

While many varied factors contribute to employee theft, we strive to uphold a "second line of defense" for you and your clients. To learn more about Theft Guard, email info@merchantsbonding.com. Our commercial team looks forward to assisting you in getting the coverage your clients and their customers need.


With the ever-increasing growth of employee theft, we want to provide our agencies with a product for acts of employee dishonesty. We believe the timing is excellent to introduce Theft Guard. Theft Guard fits well for those building a package of insurance on a small business.
