After a bit of searching online, I found this blurb:
We’ve been contacted by the Church Donations Department and asked to remove the links to the Electronic Donation Information form, among other things. This method of payment apparently wasn’t intended to be used by the general membership of the Church. We’ll be posting a new article with more information shortly. Please check back here for a link and more details.
Uh huh...
Here's the explanation given on the site http://mormonlifehacker.com/pay-your-tithing-online/ from which you sourced the "blurb" above:
Well, I just recently learned that either the Church never intended this for the general membership, or they changed their policy. Apparently too many Billpay checks were coming in as paper checks, rather than electronically, and it's overwhelmed the donations department, since they have to process all paper checks by hand, unlike when it's delivered electronically.
Thanks to @Paul and others who have mentioned this. I'll be updating this post shortly, and possibly posting another with more information.
Note that this is dated last April. for what it's worth.
