Revolut users have reported widespread problems with the banking app, leaving them unable to access their accounts or manage their money.
Customers attempting to log in have been met with an error message reading “Something went wrong”, advising them to try again later.
The disruption has caused considerable concern among customers unable to access their available funds through the app, with little information initially provided about the cause.
According to Reuters, the problems affecting Revolut are linked to an outage involving Google Cloud services.
