Staying Safe & Connected on Hank

At Hank, we’re all about helping you build real connections and a sense of community—online and in person. Whether you’re chatting before an event or swapping local tips, our platform is designed to help you engage meaningfully with other members.

Most of the time, members use Hank’s built-in chat features to coordinate around events. When you RSVP to an event, you’re automatically added to an event-specific chat. This is a great space to say hello, introduce yourself, coordinate logistics like where to meet or park, and even share tips about the venue or neighborhood.

Sometimes, members may choose to send private messages to one another as well. While the vast majority of interactions are positive, you may occasionally receive a message that feels a little “off.” If that ever happens—we’re here to support you.
