Outage
Google Cloud services go down in London. Shortly afterwards, Revolut reports outages, including for customers in Germany.
- LoginOutage
- Card paymentOutage
- Cash machineOutage
- TransfersOutage
The same morning, logging in to ING also fails, for internal reasons.
This is not an isolated case: financial companies reported 733 IT incidents to BaFin in 2025. Half of them were caused by third parties such as IT service providers.

“What you need in an emergency must be in your hands. Not in a device.”
What is changing right now
Five flashpoints. One overhaul.
On its own, each looks like just another news item. Together they show an overhaul of the monetary system. You can check every figure yourself.
Brussels
The rules for your cash are being rewritten.
- From 10 July 2027, no trader in the EU may accept more than 10,000 euros in cash. Individual countries may set a lower limit.
- The same regulation bans anonymous accounts, passbooks, safe deposit boxes and crypto accounts. It applies directly in every member state.
- According to the EU Commission, around 10 trillion euros, about 70% of EU households’ savings, sit in bank deposits. More of this money is meant to flow into investments.

Berlin
Socialisation now has a date.
- In the election on 20 September 2026, Die Linke becomes the strongest party in Berlin for the first time, with 25.7%.
- In their exploratory paper of 17 October, Die Linke, the Greens and the SPD agree that private housing companies with 10,000 or more flats are to be transferred into common ownership. Compensation is capped at 16 billion euros, and the draft law is due by mid-2028.
- This refers to Article 15 of the German Basic Law. The legal framework for socialisation had been passed by the CDU and SPD back in March 2026.
- On top of that come at least 400 million euros in extra revenue a year, “in particular through tax and fee increases”.

The network
When the network fails, money becomes hard to reach.
- 20 October 2026: an outage at Google Cloud in London, and Revolut reports problems from login to cash machines.
- An attack on the Berlin state network has been known since 14 August 2026. The blackmailers demanded 30 bitcoin, and the Senate did not pay. 1.4 million records ended up on the darknet.
- Financial companies reported 733 IT incidents to BaFin in 2025. Half of them were caused by third parties such as IT service providers.
Sources: Tagesspiegel, 20 Oct 2026; berlin.de, 16 Oct 2026; BaFin, ICT incidents 2025
The banks
Your balance is only as safe as your bank.
- By law, 100,000 euros per customer and bank are protected. According to BaFin, there is no enforceable claim to any voluntary protection beyond that.
- Non-performing commercial real estate loans: 4.4% at smaller banks and 6.4% at large banks, as of Q3 2025. The ratio has been rising steadily since early 2023.
- Cyprus 2013: at the Bank of Cyprus, 47.5% of deposits above 100,000 euros were converted into shares of the bank.

New money
The digital euro is being prepared.
- On 9 July 2026, the EU Parliament voted 416 to 169, with 22 abstentions, to open negotiations. The fifth round of talks between Parliament and Council took place on 20 October, and the next follows on 5 November.
- If the law is passed in 2026, a pilot starts in the second half of 2027: twelve months, 36 payment service providers, with holding limits. The Eurosystem aims to be ready for a first issuance in 2029.
- How many digital euros you will be allowed to hold is still politically open.

Dominik Kettner and his guests will explain live on 25 November what the five flashpoints mean for your savings.

And the central banks?
They are preparing digital money. And buying gold.
over 1,000
tonnes of gold were bought by central banks worldwide in each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.
From 2010 to 2021, the average was 473 tonnes a year.

Dominik Kettner and his guests will explain live on 25 November what this means for your savings.
Your plan for the next morning
What belongs to you belongs in your hands.
You cannot control laws, servers or bank balance sheets. What you can control is what you hold in your own hands. Dominik Kettner will go through these four steps with you at the end of the evening.
Take stock
How much do you hold at which bank? By law, 100,000 euros per customer and bank are generally protected.
Cash for emergencies
The NRW consumer advice centre recommended this after the nationwide card outage on 12 September 2024.
Some of it physical
Gold and silver that belong to you: no bank, no network, no counterparty. Small denominations keep you flexible.
Know the dates
Cash limit from 10 July 2027, digital euro pilot from H2 2027, Berlin draft law in mid-2028, possible first issuance of the digital euro in 2029.
Sources: BaFin, deposit protection; BILD, 12 Sep 2024
What you need in an emergency must be in your hands. Not in a law, on a server or in a bank balance sheet.
