(a) If an item states that it is "payable through" a bank identified in the item, the item:

(1) designates the bank as a collecting bank and does not by itself authorize the bank to pay the item; and

(2) may be presented for payment only by or through the bank.

(b) If an item states that it is "payable at" a bank identified in the item, the item is equivalent to a draft drawn on the bank.

(c) If a draft names a nonbank drawee and it is unclear whether a bank named in the draft is a co-drawee or a collecting bank, the bank is a collecting bank.
