Except as otherwise provided in this chapter or Chapter 1304 of the Revised Code, an instrument is payable at the place of payment stated in the instrument. If no place of payment is stated in an instrument, an instrument is payable at the address of the drawee or maker stated in the instrument. If no address of the drawee or maker is stated in an instrument, the place of payment is the place of business of the drawee or maker. If a drawee or maker of an instrument has more than one place of business, the place of payment for the instrument is any place of business of the drawee or maker chosen by the person entitled to enforce the instrument. If the drawee or maker of an instrument has no place of business, the place of payment for the instrument is the residence of the drawee or maker of an instrument.
