 Exhibit 10.2 

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 

This Change in Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of
            , 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and between WCF Financial Bank, a federally-chartered stock savings bank (the “Bank”) and
             (“Executive”). Any reference to the “Company” shall mean WCF Bancorp, Inc., the stock holding company of the Bank, or any successor thereto.
 
 WHEREAS, the Bank wishes to assure itself of the continued services of Executive as
             of the Bank (the “Executive Position”) for the period provided in this Agreement; and 

WHEREAS, in order to induce Executive to continue employment with the Bank and to provide further incentive to achieve
the financial and performance objectives of the Bank, the parties desire to specify the benefits which shall be due to Executive in the event of a Change in Control (as defined below).  

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and upon the other terms and conditions
hereinafter provided, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1.
        Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for a period of two (2) years. Commencing on the first anniversary
date of this Agreement (the “Anniversary Date”) and continuing on each Anniversary Date thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term of this Agreement is always two
(2) years unless written notice of non-renewal (“Non-Renewal Notice”) is provided to Executive at least 30 days prior to any such Anniversary Date, in which event this Agreement shall terminate at the end of twelve
(12) months following such Anniversary Date. Prior to each notice period for non-renewal, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”) will conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and
review of Executive for purposes of determining whether to take action regarding non-renewal of the Agreement, and the results thereof shall be included in the minutes of the Board’s meeting. In the event that the Board fails to conduct the
comprehensive evaluation of Executive’s performance, this Agreement shall not renew unless and until the Board conducts such performance evaluation. Reference herein to the term of this Agreement shall refer to both the initial term and any
extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, during the term of this Agreement, the Company or the Bank has entered into an agreement to effect a transaction that would be considered a Change in Control as defined below,
then the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended on the effective date of the Change in control and shall terminate twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of the Change in Control. 

2.         Definitions. The following words and terms shall have
the meanings set forth below for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (a)
       Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 







 (i)        Merger: The
Company or the Bank merges into or consolidates with another entity, or merges another bank or corporation into the Bank or the Company, and as a result, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation immediately
after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company or the Bank immediately before the merger or consolidation; 

(ii)       Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership: There is filed, or
is required to be filed, a report on Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule 13G) required under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or
persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of the Company’s or the Bank’s voting securities; provided, however, this clause (ii) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of the
Company’s or the Bank’s voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of its outstanding voting securities; 

(iii)      Change in Board Composition: During any period of two
(2) consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s or the Bank’s
Board of Directors; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), each director who is first elected by the board (or first nominated by the board for election by the stockholders or corporators) by a vote of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or who is appointed to the board as the result of a directive, supervisory agreement or order issued by the primary federal regulator of the Company or the Bank
or by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or 

(iv)      Sale of Assets: The Company or the Bank sells to a third party all
or substantially all of its assets. 
 (b)   Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good
Reason” shall mean a termination by Executive, without Executive’s express written consent, any of the following occurs: 

(i)        a material reduction in Executive’s base compensation as in
effect immediately prior to the date of Change in Control or as may be increased from time to time thereafter; 

(ii)       a material reduction in Executive’s authority, duties or
responsibilities in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control; 
 (iii)
     a material reduction in the authority, duties, or responsibilities of the officer (as in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control) to whom Executive is required report; 

(iv)      any material change in the geographic location at which the Executive ;must
perform his services for the Bank; or 

  
 2 








 (v)     any material breach of this Agreement
by the Bank. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any termination of employment for Good Reason,
Executive must first provide written notice to the Board within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of the condition, describing the existence of such condition, and the Bank shall thereafter have the right to remedy the condition
within thirty (30) days of the date the Board received the written notice from Executive, but the Bank may waive its right to cure. If the Bank remedies the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then no Good Reason shall be
deemed to exist with respect to such condition. If the Bank does not remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then Executive may deliver a notice of termination for Good Reason at any time within sixty (60) days
following the expiration of such cure period. 
 (d)   Termination for Cause. Termination for Cause shall
mean termination because of, in the good faith determination of the Board, Executive’s: 
 (i)
     material act of dishonesty or fraud in performing Executive’s duties on behalf of the Bank; 

(ii)     willful misconduct that in the judgment of the Board will likely cause economic
damage to the Bank or injury to the business reputation of the Bank; 
 (iii)   incompetence (in
determining incompetence, the acts or omissions shall be measured against standards generally prevailing in the savings institutions industry); 

(iv)    breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; 

(v)     intentional failure to perform stated duties under this Agreement after written
notice thereof from the Board; 
 (vi)    willful violation of any law, rule or regulation
(other than traffic violations or similar offenses which results only in a fine or other non-custodial penalty) that reflect adversely on the reputation of the Bank, any felony conviction, any violation of law involving moral turpitude, or any
violation of a final cease-and-desist order; any violation of the policies and procedures of the Bank as outlined in the Bank’s employee handbook, which would result in termination of the Bank employees, as from time to time amended and
incorporated herein by reference, or 
 (vii)   material breach by Executive of any provision of
this Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for
Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Executive a notice of termination which shall include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the disinterested members of the Board that
Executive was guilty of the conduct described above.

 3.         Benefits upon
Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. In the event of Executive’s involuntary termination of employment by the Bank for reasons other than Termination for Cause, or a voluntary termination of employment by Executive for
Good Reason occurring on or after a Change in Control, the Bank shall pay Executive, or in the event of Executive’s subsequent death, Executive’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, as severance pay, a cash lump sum payment equal to
two (2) times the Executive’s “average annual compensation.” Such payment shall be payable within ten (10) business days following Executive’s date of termination, and will be subject to applicable withholding taxes.
For purposes of this Section 3, “average annual compensation” shall be defined as the average of the Executive’s three preceding years’ annual base salary, bonus and any other cash compensation paid to Executive or accrued
by the Bank on behalf of the Executive, during such years, plus the amount of any benefits received or earned pursuant to any employee benefit plans on behalf of the Executive maintained by the Bank during such years, excluding any benefits pursuant
to any life insurance or non-taxable medical and dental coverage maintained by the Bank for the Executive. 
 In addition,
the Bank will continue to provide to Executive with life insurance coverage and non-taxable medical and dental insurance coverage substantially comparable (and on substantially the same terms and conditions) to the coverage maintained by the Bank
for Executive immediately prior to Executive’s date of termination under the same cost-sharing arrangements that apply for active employees of the Bank as of Executive’s date of termination. Such continued coverage shall cease upon the
date which is two (2) years after the Executive’s date of termination. If the Bank cannot provide one or more of the benefits set forth in this paragraph because Executive is no longer an employee, applicable rules and regulations prohibit
such benefits or the payment of such benefits in the manner contemplated, or it would subject the Bank to penalties, then the Bank shall pay Executive a cash lump sum payment reasonably estimated to be equal to the value of such benefits or the
value of the remaining benefits at the time of such determination. Such cash payment shall be made in a lump sum within ten (10) business days after the later of Executive’s date of termination or the effective date of the rules or
regulations prohibiting such benefits or subjecting the Bank to penalties. 
 4.
        280G Cutback. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under this Agreement ,
either as a stand-alone benefit or when aggregated with other payments to, or for the benefit of, Executive (collectively referred to as the “Change in Control Benefits”) that are contingent on a change in control (as defined under
Code Section 280G), constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Code Section 280G or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid such a result, Executive’s benefits payable under this Agreement shall be reduced by the
minimum amount necessary so that the Change in Control Benefits that are payable to Executive are not subject to penalties under Code Sections 280G and 4999. 

5.         Source of Payments. All payments provided in this
Agreement shall be timely paid by check or direct deposit from the general funds of the Bank (or any successor to the Bank). 

6.         Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement between the Bank and Executive with respect to the matters agreed to herein. All prior agreements between the Bank and Executive with respect to the matters agreed to herein are hereby superseded and shall have no force or effect, except
that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any 

  
 4 








 
benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than
those available to Executive without reference to this Agreement. 

7.         No Attachment. Except as required by law, no
right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by
operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect. 

8.         Binding on Successors. The Bank shall require
any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Bank, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Bank’s
obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. 

9.         Modification and Waiver.  

(a)       This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing
signed by the parties hereto. 
 (b)       No term or condition of this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a
continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived. 
 10.       Required Provisions. 

 (a)       The Board may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, but any
termination by the Bank’s Board other than termination for Cause shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any
period after Executive’s termination for Cause. 
 (b)       If Executive is
suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) [12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3)] or 8(g)(1) [12 U.S.C. §1818(g)(1)] of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDI Act”), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may
in its discretion: (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended. 

(c)       If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the
conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) [12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4)] or 8(g)(1) [12 U.S.C. §1818(g)(1)] of the FDI Act, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the
effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. 

  
 5 








 (d)       If the Bank is in default as defined in
Section 3(x)(1) [12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1)] of the FDI Act, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. 

(e)       All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent
determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank, (i) by the Comptroller of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or his or her designee, at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement
to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) [12 U.S.C. §1823(c)] of the FDI Act; or (ii) by the Comptroller or his or her designee at the time the Director or his or her designee
approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Comptroller to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be
affected by such action. 
 (f)       Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, any payments to Executive by the Bank, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k), and the regulations
promulgated thereunder in 12 C.F.R. Part 359. 
 (g)      Notwithstanding anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated unless and until Executive has a Separation from Service within the meaning of Code Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Separation from Service” shall have occurred if the Bank and Executive reasonably anticipate that either no further services will be performed by Executive after the date of termination (whether as an employee or as an independent
contractor) or the level of further services performed is less than fifty (50) percent of the average level of bona fide services in the thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the termination. For all purposes hereunder, the
definition of Separation from Service shall be interpreted consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii). 

(h)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive is a Specified Employee (as defined
herein), then, solely, to the extent required to avoid penalties under Code Section 409A, Executive’s payments shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s Separation from Service. A “Specified
Employee” shall be interpreted to comply with Code Section 409A and shall mean a key employee within the meaning of Code Section 416(i) (without regard to paragraph 5 thereof), but an individual shall be a “Specified
Employee” only if the Bank or Company is or becomes a publicly traded company. 
 11.
     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa but only to the extent not superseded by federal law.

 12.       Arbitration.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration, as an alternative to civil litigation and without any trial by jury to resolve such claims, conducted by a single
arbitrator mutually acceptable to the Bank and Executive, sitting in a location selected by the Bank within fifty (50) miles from the main office of the Bank, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association’s National
Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. 

13.       Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and
all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective
