Halifax and Revolut were among the businesses hit after an outage in Google’s London-based europe-west2-b zone on 20 October.
The technology chief took full responsibility for the 18 November disruption, blaming a latent bug triggered by a routine configuration change and confirming it was not an attack.
The infrastructure provider said a fix had been put in place after problems on 18 November knocked a large part of the web offline, though some customers still faced dashboard issues.
More than 400 problems were logged on DownDetector by 8.21am, with most relating to the app failing to open.
