Revolut

Revolut launched in 2015 in London with a debit card that eliminated foreign transaction fees and offered interbank exchange rates — a genuinely disruptive proposition for travelers who had long accepted punishing currency conversion markups as the cost of using money abroad. Founded by Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko, Revolut grew faster than virtually any other European fintech, reaching 10 million customers by 2019 and over 40 million by 2024. It has expanded from currency exchange into current accounts, savings vaults, stock trading, crypto trading, travel insurance, and business banking across 35+ countries, becoming one of the most feature-diverse neobank products in the world.

Revolut's scale and the breadth of its product surface mean its reliability matters across a diverse set of financial behaviors: paying for coffee in Tokyo, transferring money to a family member in Poland, buying stocks from a mobile interface, holding savings in a high-yield vault, and accepting card payments as a business are all use cases that sit within a single Revolut account. Because Revolut is often a primary bank account for millions of users — particularly in the UK and Eastern Europe — outages have immediate and tangible financial consequences rather than the inconvenience level of a secondary app.

Revolut outages typically manifest as card payments declining at the point of sale despite sufficient balance, international transfers returning errors or going into a "pending" state that extends well beyond the expected settlement time, the app failing to load the account balance on the home screen, crypto or stock trades returning execution errors, savings vault deposits failing to process, and push notifications for transactions going undelivered. The web dashboard for business account holders can also go inaccessible during authentication service degradation.

Outage.gg tracks Revolut service status through community-submitted reports. If card payments are declining or transfers are failing, check the live status page to confirm whether there is a platform-wide issue and receive a notification when full banking service is restored.
