Comprehensive Fidelity Bond Solutions for Your Clients
J.M. Wilson offers a broad Fidelity Bond program tailored to independent agents placing commercial accounts. Whether you need a basic employee dishonesty bond, a contract-required third-party fidelity bond for a janitorial firm, or ERISA coverage for a plan fiduciary, our surety team provides responsive underwriting and access to both standard and specialty markets.
Target Classes and Ideal Accounts
This program is designed for commercial clients exposed to employee dishonesty, theft, or fraud. Typical fits include:
Business service firms with access to client property or funds
Janitorial and cleaning companies requiring third-party fidelity coverage for contracts
Employers and plan administrators needing ERISA fidelity bonds
Financial institutions requiring specialized fidelity protections
Commercial operations concerned about internal employee theft or fraud
Example scenarios: you might place a fidelity bond for a small bookkeeping firm that handles client funds, or a janitorial contractor that must meet a municipality’s third-party fidelity requirement to win a contract.

Underwriting Considerations
Each submission is reviewed on its individual merits. Our markets consider new ventures, varied payroll sizes, and accounts with specific contractual bonding requirements. Common underwriting factors include the employer’s controls and background screening, prior losses, the nature of employee access to funds or property, and the requested limits and terms.
If you have a submission currently placed with another surety, we welcome those applications for comparison and potential placement with our markets.
