I do not have a bank account but do have a prepaid card with some limited online services.
This card allows me to send money through their online Bill Pay portal. Cannot use routing and alike.

Can you please help me how to send my donations via bill pay?
At the very least, they require a name and address.
Should I use my ward's address? or some other [central] address?

They will probably try to mail a check to the address you provide, so do not use the meetinghouse address. I think I would make the ward the payee and send the payment in care of either my own address or the address of the bishop.

You might also wish to contact donations@ldschurch.org and see if they might be able to work something for you.

Your wife can log in and use the same bank account that you are using. She just needs to do it from her LDS Account at the Donations link.

If you are banking with a U.S. savings or checking account, send an email to donations@ldschurch.org and ask for directions. The Church can also set it up so that you would be able to donate at the LDS.org Donations link.

If you are banking with a foreign account, speak with your local ward clerk and ask for instructions.

We have asked our ward clerk here in Czech Republic and they don't know how to set up payments. Is it possible to do online bill pay if you have a foreign account?

To use Donations at LDS.org you need a U.S. account. If you have a foreign account, you are at the mercy of the system, if there is one, that the Church may have set up for that country. Not every country has online donations.

Not on the US system.

You can try going to donations.lds.org and see if it works for you.

I have a follow-up question on this.
While living in Europe over the past few years, I was able to use the online donation interface. It worked wonderfully there.
A few days ago, I moved back to the US. I no longer have access to my banking options to pay my tithing online.
Adding a new bank to my account does not give me an option to use my European bank.
Is there a way to keep using my European bank account to make donations? I suspect there is a way, but it has not yet been enabled.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

The online system matches the country in which your record is maintained with the currency and banking system of that country. That matching can be overridden at headquarters to allow another country bank and the currency of that country for online donations. Currency conversions are not permitted. I am only aware of Americans living abroad having the ability to retain online donations using a U.S. bank and U.S. dollar currency by sending a message to onlinedonationsupport@churchofjesuschrist.org. You could try sending a message to that address to see if they will do something similar for your situation.
