Google Cloud Outage: Crypto Balances Show Zero, Revolut Paralyzed

This is a major outage shaking the financial sector and the crypto ecosystem in Europe. Since Tuesday morning, a critical failure affecting the Google Cloud infrastructure in London has paralyzed a large part of the neobank Revolut’s services. Declined cards, impossible ATM withdrawals, and temporarily unavailable crypto wallets, the fintech is trying to reassure its 45 million users. The incident began early Tuesday morning, October 20, 2026, following a chain of technical issues in the Google Cloud Europe-West zone. Revolut, which relies almost exclusively on the American giant servers to run its scalable infrastructure, found itself deprived of its central systems. On social networks and the Downdetector platform, testimonies count in the thousands: refused transactions at checkout, inability to make withdrawals, and inability to access accounts.
