About scheduling payment on shabbos

Question:

Am I allowed to schedule a payment to pay my credit card from my bank account what the due date comes out on shabbos, so it will make automatically a payment on shabbos but it goes automatically example I set it now for Let’s say the 21 of March and the 21 is shabbos am I allowed or not?

Answer:

You are allowed. The reason is because you didn’t do any action on shabbos that causes melacha to happen, only before shabbos, and in most cases including this one, it is permitted.
