What Are the Key Differences Between Chubb and Relm Insurance Tech E&O Insurance?

Separate E&O and Cyber vs One Combined Policy

Relm markets Technology E&O as professional liability separate from cyber and says neither protects you from the other’s exposures, so you may buy two policies. Chubb underwrites DigiTech ERM, one policy that combines tech E&O with media and cyber, for software developers, technology-services firms and electronics and hardware manufacturers. Choose Chubb if you want E&O and cyber from one insurer on one policy; choose Relm if you’re a fintech that needs cover built for blockchain and regulatory risk. [9] [2]

A Fintech Product vs No Fintech Variant

Relm says standard Tech E&O isn’t always enough for fintechs and offers a distinct Fintech Errors and Omissions product for blockchain vulnerabilities and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Chubb doesn’t describe a fintech version of DigiTech ERM. [9] [2]

Failed Delivery vs Delay Explicitly Covered

Relm’s Tech E&O centers on failed service delivery, contract failures and software glitches that hurt customers. Chubb covers third-party financial loss and states there’s no exclusion for delays or failure to deliver, so a missed launch date is plainly in scope. [9] [2]

What Should You Confirm in Chubb and Relm Insurance Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Relm whether you’re quoted on standard Tech E&O or Fintech E&O, and whether its cyber product is bound alongside. [9] [2]
  • Ask Relm which insurer issues the policy; Chubb underwrites DigiTech ERM itself. [9] [2]
  • Get limits from both; neither publishes them. [9] [2]
  • Ask Relm whether delays are covered, since Chubb states they are. [9] [2]

Relm sells Tech E&O separately from cyber and offers a distinct Fintech E&O product for blockchain and regulatory risks. Chubb puts tech E&O, media and cyber in one DigiTech ERM policy, with no exclusion for late or failed delivery.
