Shield & Stallion Insurance for What’s Next
Fintech insurance

Fintech insurance for payments, lending, and embedded finance.

The buying problem is data, transaction errors, and often crime. A bank partner or sponsor will ask for a schedule. We review that schedule against what a market will write. Binding sits with the carrier. We transact only where licensed.

What this file usually includes

Cyber and technology E&O are the usual starting point. Crime and social engineering matter when funds move or vendors can impersonate a payment instruction. Directors and officers cover often arrives with a round or with regulatory scrutiny. The policy forms, not this page, decide what is covered.

We are an independent agency. We do not issue policies in our own name. A licensed advisor reviews your file. We aim to respond within one business day.

Have these ready to email

  • Whether you hold or move customer funds, or only provide software
  • The insurance exhibit from a sponsor or enterprise customer
  • Regulatory status, if any: money transmitter, bank partnership, RIA, or none

This site does not accept uploads. After you submit, email the exhibit to the address in the application. A certificate does not create the sponsor’s wording if the policy does not have it.
