getGlobalIdentifier

This "global identifier" refers to the code AT-02 created for the C19.14. The C19.14 is a temporary file format to be used in Spain until the ISO 20022 XML format is finally adopted.

If the IBAN is built by adding a few digits to the national bank accounts, the AT-02 is build by adding digits to the national identifier. In the case of Spain, this identifiers are NIFs, NIEs and CIFs.

For instance, the Spanish CIF G28667152, can be expressed internationally as ES03000G28667152.
