Fusion42 · 20 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

A power outage at Google Cloud's London data center disrupted services for major UK banks including Revolut, Lloyds, and HSBC, causing issues with ATM withdrawals, bank transfers, and online banking access.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 35 sources have reported it between 20 Oct 2026 and 26 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Google Cloud's outage exposed your reliance on single-region cloud services and the vulnerability this creates for banking operations. You need to evaluate multi-region cloud setups or alternative providers to avoid similar service disruptions.
