No, it isn't possible to load money onto MOBIB cards, only specific tickets :/

Interesting; the most similar thing I've used is the Oyster Card with Transport for London, but like with Brussels, they are also strongly promoting paying with bank cards. They are making it difficult to get an Oyster Card, and once you've finished with your card, you don't get back your £7 deposit any longer.
- em-bee 3y agoi meant, when i buy tickets to load onto the card, can i pay for those tickets with cash, or is the ticket payment somehow connectable to my person? anyways, it seems less convenient than a stored value card unless there is only one kind of ticket anyways and you are just counting down rides.

Yes, the vending machines that issue tickets take cash (again, I believe this option is available only with the red vending machines, which you can just make out in this picture[1]). > anyways, it seems less convenient than a stored value card unless there is only one kind of ticket anyways and you are just counting down rides. Agreed, but see @zvr's comment further up the thread - it turns out the 10-journey Brupass option is cheaper than bank card payments, so would indeed make 'counting down rides' the best option unless you want to make many short journeys in a single day.
