Millions of Revolut customers are left unable to pay as cards are declined at the till during a Google Cloud outage
The failure also crippled the video link used for remote court hearings across England and Wales, delaying cases involving defendants held in custody. The Financial Conduct Authority is pressing Google for answers. Google said services began returning from 1pm. More than 1,500 Revolut users had flagged problems on Downdetector shortly after 8am, with cards declined at tills.
Revolut, with around 13 million UK customers, insists all money and data are safe.
HSBC, Royal Mail, DPD, Rightmove, NHS England and Gov.UK were also hit.
One stranded customer: 'I'm in Greece on holiday. Revolut not working on three accounts.'
