Error description

• Customer reported a BIC8 validation problem. They created a
  MT940 message with the destination "NWBKGB21A31V ", and WBI-FN
  threw a validation error:
  
      ReasonMPU=DNIY0064E,DNIY0064E element
      '/FinMessage/Block2/DestinationAddress' characters '8' to
      '8' must be '!=' '1'
  
  After checked ISO-9362 and found the definition of location
  code: 2 letters or digits: location code if the second
  character is "0", then it is typically a test BIC as opposed to
  a BIC used on the live network.
  
  
  if the second character is "1",then it denotes a passive
  participant in the SWIFT network if the second character is
  "2", then it typically indicates a reverse billing BIC, where
  the recipient pays for the message as opposed to the more
  usual mode whereby the sender pays for the message.
