Does the verb have to come at last place in a subordinate clause?

Question

This is from a podcast transcription:

Es gibt aber eine Sache, die ist im deutschen Bankwesen anders als im Rest der Welt.

Shouldn't it be

or

@DavidVogt So here it is actually two separate sentences? It is equivalent to "Es gibt aber eine Sache, (und) sie ist im deutschen Bankwesen anders als im Rest der Welt."? — Jaden Wong, Mar 8 '20 at 6:20

Generally, yes, the finite verb has to stay in last place.

However, as usual there are a number of exceptions to this.

Comparisons with certain conjunctions are exempt: "... weil er sich wehrte wie ein Berserker."
Vocatives (terms of address) can go wherever they want: "Wenn Sie mich fragen, Frau Will, ..."
Coordination can attach pretty much everywhere, including at the end of a subclause: "Er nannte einen Grund, der nicht sehr überzeugend war und niemandem einleuchtete.'"
Certain prepositions that function as conjunctions: "Ich bin hier, weil ich die rote Pille nahm statt der blauen."

But this still does not explain why "ist" comes before "im deutschen Bankwesen anders". i think maybe it is two separate sentences where the "die" in the beginning of the second sentence means the same as "sie", refering back to "Sache" but not initiating a subordinate clause but another main sentence. — Jaden Wong, Mar 8 '20 at 6:24
