David Comley is a financial crime and compliance leader with experience spanning regulated payments, commodities, and corporate investigations. He currently oversees the compliance framework at Uber Payments UK — Uber’s UK-based e-money institution.
Prior to joining Uber, David led second-line financial crime and fraud investigation teams at two UK payments firms, where he focused on fraud detection, SAR governance, and internal controls. He began his career supporting global banks and law firms on cross-border investigations ahead of high-value acquisitions.
David brings a practical and risk-based approach to fraud prevention, particularly in high-volume, tech-enabled environments. He is especially interested in how fraud teams can scale controls without compromising agility, and how firms can adapt legacy controls as risk exposure changes.
