Frequently asked
questions

Everything you need to know about membership, the app, your privacy and closing your account.

Membership

Membership & access

Do I need an invitation to use the app?+

Yes. HOC Capital Club is members-only. Sign in with the member account you were issued — if you don't have one yet, speak to your club contact.

How do I apply for membership if I'm not a member yet?+

Open the app and choose the membership request flow. You'll provide your personal details, upload your passport, complete the KYC fields and pay the membership fee. Once the club approves your application you'll receive an activation link by email that takes you straight into creating your password.

What happens if my subscription lapses?+

Deals, Events, Travel and Marketplace become read-only and a Renew Now notice appears. Renewal is handled inside Profile → Subscription, and you'll receive renewal reminders before the date. Deactivated or suspended accounts see a dedicated screen with a path to contact support.

Which devices are supported?+

Any modern iPhone or iPad on a recent iOS version, and Android phones running Android 8.0 or newer — including the latest iPhone 17, Galaxy S26 Ultra and Pixel 10.

Will I lose anything when the app updates?+

No. Both iOS and Android updates come through the App Store and Google Play, so you'll update in place — same account, same data, no reinstall.

Installing

Downloading & installing

Where do I download the app?+

iOS installs come from Apple's App Store. Android installs come from Google Play. Both are official store listings managed by HOC Capital Club.

Is the Android app safe to install?+

Yes. The Android app is published on Google Play under HOC Capital Club's official developer account. Only ever install from links shared by the club — never from third-party mirrors.

Signing in

Login & security

Can I sign in with Face ID or a fingerprint?+

Yes. Biometric login (Face ID / Touch ID on iOS, fingerprint or face unlock on Android) can be enabled from the side drawer. It's bound to your device's secure hardware — your biometrics never leave the phone.

Why does the app lock itself while I'm away?+

An idle timeout auto-locks your session for discretion. You can unlock again with biometrics without going through a full re-login.

I've forgotten my password.+

Use Forgot password on the sign-in screen. When you set a new one, a strength meter and reuse detection help you choose something secure.

Does logging out really end my session?+

Yes. Logout revokes your refresh token on the server, not just on the device, and unregisters the device from push notifications.

In the app

Deals, marketplace, events & travel

What can I do with investment deals?+

Browse live deals, open a deal for its real-time percentage-funded indicator, and invest by entering an amount, choosing a payout account and uploading your payment receipt. Deals that support more than one entry tier show each tier's minimum. Closed or fully funded deals can no longer be invested in.

Can I submit my own deal, listing, event or travel package?+

Yes — each section has a submission wizard for admin approval, covering documents, imagery, pricing, category, currency and payout account. While a submission is still pending you can edit or withdraw it, and each section has its own My Deals / My Listings / My Events / My Packages tab.

How do I track my investments?+

The Investment Portfolio and Past Performance dashboard shows a pie chart of your holdings with an interactive breakdown, alongside a personal analytics card for total invested, returns and deal count.

How do RSVPs and bookings work?+

Events take an RSVP with guest count and payment where required; travel packages are booked against real per-package departure dates; concierge services are booked with date, time, guest count and special requests from the club's menu catalogue. Pending RSVPs and bookings can be cancelled from their My tab, and you'll get reminders one week and one day before an event you're attending.

Where do the things I save go?+

Anything you favourite across Deals, Events, Marketplace and Travel appears in one combined Favourites tab.

Where can I see my history?+

The Activities screen groups everything by month with date search across five tabs: subscription receipts, registrations, bookings, my deals and my items. Each row links to its real payment receipt, including PDFs.

Money

Payouts & currencies

Why do I need a payout account?+

A payout account is required before you submit any paid deal, item, event or travel listing, and you're prompted for it inline in the submission wizard. You can hold up to twenty accounts — one per category and currency combination — and reuse an existing account's bank details when adding another in the same currency.

Which currencies are supported?+

NGN, USD, EUR and GBP throughout every submission and payout flow. The picker always shows all four, with a clear notice — and a contact-support path — where the club can't yet receive or pay out in the one you've chosen.

Notifications

Alerts & check-ins

What notifications will I receive?+

Status changes on your investments, purchases and submissions, club announcements, event reminders and subscription renewal prompts — all in one feed with an unread badge that stays accurate across logins. Push is delivered through Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android and APNs on iOS, and you can tune it per category in Profile → Notification settings.

Will the app ask permission before sending push notifications?+

Yes. A branded primer explains what you'll receive before the operating system's own permission prompt appears, and you can decline.

What is location check-in?+

An optional feature. With it enabled the app checks you in automatically when you arrive at the HOC Capital Club address, and you can also check in manually by country, state and city while travelling. You'll get a confirmation notification, and the toggle lives in the side drawer.

Offline

Using the app offline

Does anything work without a connection?+

Saved for Offline keeps cached copies of the Terms and Privacy documents plus your payment receipts, readable without a connection.

What are Usage Insights?+

A private tally of how you use the app, kept on your device for your own reference.

Privacy

Privacy & your data

Is my data private?+

Your information stays within the club's private network and is never sold or shared. The app is built for discretion first.

Where can I read the full privacy policy?+

Our full privacy policy explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it and the rights you hold under the NDPR and GDPR.

How do I delete my account?+

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and, where applicable, GDPR, you can have your HOC Capital Club membership account and the personal data attached to it permanently deleted. There are two ways to start that process.

What gets deleted. Your profile, KYC documents, saved payment details and activity history are permanently removed. This cannot be undone.

How long we hold it first. After your request we retain your data for six to nine months to satisfy Nigerian financial, tax and audit obligations, then delete it permanently.
