Revolut outage on 20 October 2026: app, card and transfer problems

From the morning of Tuesday 20 October 2026, Revolut users reported serious disruption to the app. According to Bankier.pl, logging in was possible, but after that an error message appeared asking users to try again later. Refreshing did not help, and the error showed on every tab, from accounts to cards.

Which services were down

Bankier.pl said transfers, cards and Blik (a payment method popular in Poland) were unavailable. The site Antyweb, citing Revolut's status page, reported in the morning that users had lost access to 31 services. These included card payments, top-ups, transfers, cash withdrawals, currency exchange, share trading, identity verification and contact with support via chat. According to The Independent, quoted by TVN24, some customers also could not pay by card in shops.

Scale of the problem

The outage was not limited to Poland. On Reddit, customers from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Australia reported problems. Reports also concerned Revolut Business and Revolut X. According to TVN24, several thousand people reported problems on Downdetector.

A Revolut support representative confirmed on Reddit that the company was dealing with disruption affecting many services and that its technical team was working to restore full availability. On the X platform, the company wrote about disruption affecting many functions.

Outage fixed

According to TVN24, on the evening of 20 October Revolut said on X that the problem had been fixed and services restored. The company assured customers that their money and data had remained safe throughout. The sources do not give a cause for the outage.

What it means for people in the UK

Revolut is widely used in the UK too, and customers there reported problems. In situations like this it is worth having an alternative way to pay, such as a card from another bank. According to the company, customers' funds were not at risk and services are now working normally.
