A technical glitch in the Revolut fintech service, founded by Nikolai Storonsky, was caused by issues with Google Cloud, Reuters reported, citing a source.
According to the agency, several Google Cloud services experienced outages in the London region. Google stated that engineers are investigating the issue, which affected the London data center.
On the morning of October 20, Revolut, which serves more than 80 million customers worldwide, announced that some services might be unavailable due to a technical glitch. On social media platform X, the startup wrote that it is working “to restore full service as soon as possible.” It did not specify the cause of the outage.
The outage report was posted more than two hours ago, and Revolut has not since announced that service has been restored. In the comments under the post, users report that they were unable to use their online bank cards to pay at brick-and-mortar stores and gas stations.
