It appears in this case the problem starts much earlier. Exim's DKIm 
verifier reports:
    body hash mismatch
It is supposed to be SHA256 computed on relaxed canonical format. (Based 
on the header info)


I have confirmed that a body hash computed using these parameters does
not agree with the one in the header. So, I have to agree with:

> your bank got it wrong


But it is the original signature that is broken. If the hashes are
computed wrong to begin with, there is no possibility of ever matching a
signature computed over the hashes.

Furthermore, after trying out numerous combinations (using openssl dgst)
to create hashes, I have yet to figure out how Chase could have come up
with the hash they show. (Using simple instead of relaxed; using
different hash algorithms; playing with the text; changing the line ends
to unix; ...)
