What happens if I lose money because of online fraud?
If you lose money because of online fraud, your cyber insurance can help cover the loss. However, it's important to inform your insurer as soon as you become aware of the fraud. Here's how the policy helps.
- E-theft
This covers money stolen if someone hacks into your accounts or systems. For example, if a hacker gets into your bank account and transfers money out, this part of your policy ensures that the stolen amount is reimbursed.
- E-communication fraud
If someone sends fake emails or messages pretending to be you and tricks others into transferring money, this is also covered.
Informing the insurer quickly ensures your claim process starts without delay, helping you recover your money faster.
