Revolut and other banking apps go down as Google Cloud suffers UK outage

Multiple banking applications in London, such as Revolut and Halifax, experienced disruptions on Tuesday morning. Google Cloud is also facing outages in London, which seem to have affected numerous banking services. Revolut assured customers that their money and data remain secure while they investigate the issue. Google Cloud's status dashboard indicates ongoing service problems in the europe-west2 region, which covers London.

Customers of Halifax and Emma, a popular UK budgeting app, also reported difficulties on Tuesday, coinciding with Google Cloud's disruptions. Some companies directly attributed the outage to Google Cloud, while others pointed to an unnamed third-party provider. Revolut stated that they are working to resolve the issue and apologized for any inconvenience caused.

Emma confirmed it was a technical outage, not a security issue, and is actively working to restore services. Google Cloud has acknowledged the problem and is investigating the cause of the outage.
