Financial Services & Lenders
A coverage stack built for licensed lenders, mortgage originators, MSBs, and the firms supporting them.
Financial services carry regulated exposure that off-the-shelf BOP coverage will not solve: regulatory inquiries, fiduciary duty, fraud loss, and the data-security obligations that come with consumer financial information. We assemble programs around those exposures.
Most financial-services operators we place coverage for run a stack with five moving parts: a professional-liability line, a cyber line tuned to consumer financial data, crime and employee dishonesty as required by lenders and aggregators, directors and officers for board and officer exposure, and the surety bonds their state licenses require. We assemble the bundle as a single program so renewal lines up and the deductibles work together.

How we use AI
AI helps our insurance team work faster. Our specialists still own every call.
For operators in Financial Services & Lenders, AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and reuse what you have already submitted, so we spend our time on the judgment calls that matter. A licensed specialist reviews every filing. Your data stays on Cornerstone infrastructure, not in a public chatbot.
On Our Infrastructure
Our models run on Cornerstone servers, not public chatbots. Your business information is not sent to a third-party LLM or used to train anyone else's product.
An Assistant, Not an Operator
AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and surface the resources to look at. Specialists vet what comes back and make the call.
Less Duplicate Work for You
Atlas figures out what data each form needs, then reuses what you have already given us so the same question does not come around twice. That is how approvals come faster.
