Revolut recorded 0% uptime during the monitoring week
No incidents were logged by either provider despite the uptime disparity
Data collected via Uptrue's independent monitoring infrastructure

Uptime This Week

Barclays demonstrated consistent availability at 100% throughout the monitored period. Revolut's 0% uptime metric indicates the service was unreachable from Uptrue's monitoring endpoints during this week. The disconnect between zero recorded incidents and zero uptime suggests potential network routing, DNS resolution, or endpoint accessibility issues rather than declared service incidents.

Response Time

Barclays responded with an average latency of 127ms, indicating normal operational performance. Revolut response time data was unavailable due to the service being inaccessible during monitoring.

Incidents & Downtime

Neither provider reported maintenance windows or service incidents during the week of 20 April 2026. The absence of declared incidents paired with Revolut's complete inaccessibility warrants review of whether monitoring detected transient connectivity failures versus sustained outages.

Historical Context

Banking and fintech services typically maintain uptime standards above 99.9%, making zero-uptime events noteworthy. Financial services operators face heightened pressure to sustain continuous availability due to regulatory requirements and customer expectations.

Which Should You Choose?

Barclays is the clear choice for production dependencies requiring guaranteed availability during this period. If Revolut services are mission-critical, direct investigation with the provider is essential to clarify the accessibility gap between monitoring data and service status declarations.
