Revolut is back online, but there's more: an expert reveals a danger that's just around the corner

Users of the digital banking service Revolut across Europe experienced widespread outages, including issues opening the app, processing transfers, ATMs failing to dispense cash, and card and mobile payments not working. Revolut confirmed the problems were caused by a recent outage in Google Cloud's platform but assured customers their funds and data remained secure. The issue has since been resolved, with the app expected to function normally again. In Croatia, Revolut has over 750,000 users, many of whom faced difficulties throughout the day. Cybersecurity expert Tomislav Vazdar noted that the outage was due to a power supply failure within Google Cloud, affecting multiple companies, including several UK banks and delivery services. He emphasized this was not a cyberattack but a technical infrastructure failure, referencing similar incidents in 2017 and noting that Google Cloud had previously experienced outages in 2024.

Having trouble with Revolut? You're not the only ones. Here's the thing.

The company confirmed that customer funds and data remain secure and apologized for the inconvenience. Users report difficulties opening the app, logging into accounts, and using Revolut cards for purchases, with some receiving error messages and others having their cards declined. While some users claim they can still access services normally, aligning with Revolut’s statement that only part of its user base is affected, similar technical issues have been reported with Google Cloud in Europe.
