Revolut online banking issues resolved after major outage

Online bank Revolut has fully restored its services after a major technical failure caused by a power incident at Google Cloud. The outage, which prevented customers from accessing their funds, also affected various other companies and services primarily located in the United Kingdom.

Digital bank Revolut has resolved a significant service outage that previously left customers unable to withdraw cash, make payments, or transfer funds. The disruption, which affected many users globally, was attributed to a technical failure within Google Cloud services, which Google described as a power-related incident. Revolut has since confirmed that all operations have been restored and issued an apology to its affected customer base.

The widespread disruption also impacted numerous other major organizations, particularly in the United Kingdom, including banking institutions like HSBC and Lloyds, as well as essential services like the NHS and Royal Mail. While Revolut serves approximately 80 million users worldwide, including 1.2 million individuals in the Netherlands, the company has recently navigated other challenges, including a sophisticated fraud attempt by cybercriminals. The bank is currently working to maintain stability following these recent operational difficulties.
