money transfer to childs account

you can indeed transfer money from a parental account to a child account, can be done accidentally too, not sure if there is a way to transfer back as child account cannot transfer money.

"Money can't be transferred to another Microsoft account and can't be converted from one
currency to another."

Here's info on how to add money to a child's account at this

link. I hope this helps!

This is exactly what happened to me! I transferred money from my Paypal to my child's Microsoft account for this, and now the money are locked there? Unbelievable! How do I get my money back?

Hello Noah,

Unfortunately, the money on an account cannot be transferred, at least currently, between accounts.

Here we have information for Adding Funds to a Child Account for full details on how an account
may garner money for usage on the Microsoft store.

We hope this information helps and wish you the best!

Really, Microsoft account balance method this is like a scam. You transfer money across from a parent account to allow a child account to "buy apps" responsibly - apps owned by Microsoft - and now the balance there is useless because, wait for it, you can't use it. Total waste of money! You can't even transfer the balance to another family account. Hopeless.
