Revolut Experiences Major Outage Affecting Services
European banking app Revolut experienced a major service disruption on October 20, 2026, preventing users from making card payments, accessing funds, or logging into the mobile app. An unnamed spokesperson confirmed the issue but assured customers that their money and data remain secure. The outage began just before 9 AM UK time (4 AM ET) and was attributed to a Google Cloud power problem impacting multiple services. The disruption highlights potential vulnerabilities in Revolut’s infrastructure, particularly its reliance on cloud providers like Google Cloud. As one of Europe's leading digital banks with millions of users, such outages can significantly affect customer trust and daily financial operations. The company is working to resolve the issue but has not yet provided a timeline for full service restoration. This incident could have broader implications if it leads to regulatory scrutiny or loss of user confidence in Revolut’s reliability as a digital banking platform.
