> Revolut listed crypto trading, card payments and transfers among affected services. Google Cloud said the power event was mitigated while engineers worked on network failures.

Google Cloud identified a power event in its London region as the cause of a disruption that affected Revolut’s cryptocurrency trading and other services. Customers of Lloyds and HSBC also reported outages, but a link between those bank problems and the cloud event was not established.

Google Cloud identified the affected location as its europe-west2 region. It said the power event had been mitigated, while engineers continued working on elevated errors and intermittent network failures. The company apologized and suggested customers move affected workloads to another available zone or region.

Revolut listed cryptocurrency trading, stock trading, card payments, transfers, ATM withdrawals, sign-ins, identity verification and chat support among affected services. The list covered more than trading, spanning account access, payments and customer support.
