Microsoft: Xbox 360 users will soon be able to gift money to friends
"Full flow for gifting $ to friends via 360 will be turned on soon. Not yet!"— Mike Ybarra
An exact release date on the feature has not been announced, but Ybarra did state that the feature will be implemented soon. While this might be a fairly interesting feature, one has to wonder if this will come to the Xbox One or remain an Xbox 360 exclusive. Another thing to note is that Ybarra did make use of the "$" which could indicate that this might first roll out in the United States and only offer support for the US dollar.
The update is the first opportunity that gamers have to gift money between consoles, where previously users would have to purchase prepaid Xbox codes for a transfer to a friend. It has yet to be seen whether the money is contained within the Xbox ecosystem, or whether users can export it to their linked bank accounts.

playerriku245F4VRE Why is the 360 still getting new features, I get a lot of people still on,y have old gen consoles but c'mon. You've lost the console war, out all your time and talent into making the One better..
the main reason ps4 beat xbox in sales is the price difference at launch xone has alot of features that the ps4 needs
True but so far my extra $100 has gone to very little. Preview is nice but there's not much my 360 can't do.

I can already picture kids losing their accounts for recovery purposes and losing their money from it being transferred over to another account.
