Revolut outage hits 80M users worldwide
Revolut experiences widespread outage affecting payments, transfers, and support, with over 1,500 users reporting issues on Tuesday morning [1].
Revolut has suffered a major service disruption affecting multiple functions, with thousands of users reporting issues across the UK and globally. The outage, reported shortly after 08:00 BST on Tuesday, impacted card payments, transfers, ATM withdrawals, and customer support services [1].
Platform outage monitor Downdetector logged over 1,500 user reports within minutes of the incident beginning, highlighting the scale of the disruption [1]. The company confirmed the issue via a spokesperson, stating that all customer funds and data remain secure.
Revolut, one of the leading digital-only banks, has more than 80 million customers worldwide and is known for its app-first financial model [1]. The outage has drawn criticism on social media, with users expressing frustration over being unable to access funds, make payments, or contact support during the disruption.
The company said it had been working to resolve the issue since it was identified and apologised for the inconvenience caused [1]. A status page on Revolut’s website listed several services as "partially unavailable".
The incident adds to growing scrutiny over the reliability of neobanks, which rely entirely on digital infrastructure. While Revolut maintains that customer data and money are safe, the outage underscores the vulnerability of fully digital financial systems to technical failures. The story was first reported by BBC News.
