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

Fintech-Specific Product vs a Broker for Every Stage

Relm offers Technology E&O as its own professional-liability product and a separate Fintech E&O form, because it says standard Tech E&O can miss blockchain vulnerabilities and regulatory scrutiny. Vouch brokers Tech E&O for AI, SaaS, eCommerce, hardware, fintech and crypto companies from first customer contract through IPO, with no fintech-only form described, and you start online. Choose Relm if regulators or blockchain risk are your main worry; choose Vouch if you want one broker to grow with you from early contracts to IPO. [6] [9]

Vouch Spells Out Exclusions; Relm Doesn't

Relm covers poor service, missed contract obligations, customer-facing system failures and negligent advice about product limits, including defense, settlements and judgments. Vouch describes a similar core plus accidental IP infringement and third-party breach liability from a flaw in your product, and says Tech E&O excludes bodily injury, property damage, intentional or criminal acts, employment claims and cyber incidents on your own systems. Relm publishes no exclusion list, only that Tech E&O and cyber don't replace each other. [6] [10]

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

  • Ask Relm whether you're quoted standard Tech E&O or Fintech E&O, and how the exclusions differ. [6]
  • Ask Vouch which insurer issues the policy and whether IP and third-party breach cover are on it. [9] [10]
  • Get limits, retentions and the insurer from both; neither publishes them. [10] [6]
  • Plan cyber cover alongside either; neither's Tech E&O covers breaches of your own systems. [6] [10]

Relm Insurance

Relm line-of-business page (Relm sells through brokers); not a statement identifying the issuing insurer for a given placement.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: Relm says a business is exposed if it delivers software or tech services, citing risks from AI models making biased decisions, model theft, or data poisoning as examples of the kinds of claims that can arise.
