Stop Overdraft Profiteering Act of 2018 This bill amends the Truth in Lending Act to prohibit a depository institution from engaging in certain acts in connection with overdraft coverage.

The bill limits the number of overdraft fees a consumer may be charged each month and year, and provides that such fees must be reasonable.
