Account Match | Simulation | CambridgeOCR Level 3 Award in Personal Finance

Last updated 5 Aug 2026

Try this mini personal finance simulation activity to help deliver the CambridgeOCR Level 3 Award in Personal Finance.

Account Match is a free interactive challenge that takes students beyond memorising account names to understanding what each one is actually for. In the first round they meet eight real people, a new student, a saver with a lump sum, a first-time buyer, and choose the account that suits each. In the second, they match everyday tasks like paying rent or covering a short gap to the right banking tool. Every answer comes with a clear explanation, including the tricky cases where more than one choice works. It takes about fifteen minutes, works on any device, and plays brilliantly as a whole-class vote.
