Revolut has confirmed that a major outage at Google Cloud's London data center has disrupted its services, preventing customers from accessing card payments, transfers, and ATM withdrawals.
The financial technology company reassured its users that their funds and personal data remain secure despite the service disruption. This outage comes exactly one year after a similar incident involving Amazon Web Services (AWS) that affected major financial platforms like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Lloyds Bank.
According to multiple outlets, the current issue stems from a technical failure at Google Cloud's infrastructure, which supports a wide range of financial services. The incident underscores the dependence of modern financial systems on cloud computing and the potential risks associated with such dependencies.
While Revolut has not disclosed the exact number of users affected, the outage's timing coincides with a period of increased cryptocurrency market activity, as the total crypto market cap stands at $2.79 trillion. 
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, is currently experiencing a 24-hour decline of 1.01%, with the overall market sentiment remaining in 'Greed' territory as indicated by the Fear & Greed Index at 55.
The incident raises questions about the resilience of cloud-based financial services and the measures in place to mitigate such disruptions. As Revolut works to resolve the issue, customers are advised to monitor the company's official communications for updates on service restoration.
