  "account": "The online banking services of Revolut and Lloyds Bank are currently experiencing outages, affecting multiple services for numerous users. The issues began at around 6:46am BST / 1:46am ET, with both banks showing significant spikes on Downdetector. At their peak, there were nearly 1,500 reports from Revolut customers and around 500 for Lloyds Bank. While the reports have since decreased, the outage appears ongoing for many users.\n\nRevolut has confirmed a service disruption, affecting multiple services, and has assured customers that their money and data are safe. The company is working on a fix and apologizes for any inconvenience caused. Lloyds Bank has also stated that its app is online and customers can log in normally, although some users are experiencing slow performance.\n\nSpeculation exists that the simultaneous issues affecting both Revolut and Lloyds Bank may be related to a confirmed Google Cloud outage affecting UK services. The Google Cloud status page reports multiple service issues in the europe-west2 region, located in London. This could explain why multiple UK services, including Revolut and Lloyds Bank, are experiencing problems today.\n\nReports on Downdetector for both Revolut and Lloyds Bank are on the rise, indicating an increasing number of users experiencing issues. The outage is causing frustration among customers, with some users reporting that their banking services have been down for several hours.",
