Revolut app down: card payments, transfers blocked for thousands

A service outage at Revolut, a fintech bank serving over 80 million customers globally, blocked access to essential banking functions including payments, transfers, and cash withdrawals for thousands of users across multiple regions (UK, Ireland, Greece, and others). Users were unable to contact customer support during the incident. The outage coincided with reported disruptions at other UK financial institutions (Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland) and elevated error reports from Google Cloud's UK infrastructure facility, raising questions about potential broader infrastructure vulnerabilities affecting multiple financial service providers simultaneously. No confirmed recovery time or root cause was disclosed.
