Where on Cat Ba can you exchange currency and do bank cards work?

You can exchange currency on Cat Ba at exchange offices, hotels, or travel agencies, but the best rate is at the Vu Binh jewelry shop near the market. They accept dollars and euros, but the bills must be in perfect condition. It is not advisable to exchange Russian rubles—they are almost nowhere accepted. International bank cards (Visa, Mastercard) work in some stores and ATMs, but there are few points with cashless payment. Russian Mir cards are not accepted, and UnionPay cards only work from Rosselkhozbank. For cash withdrawals, it is more convenient to use cash dollars or euros, as the rate at ATMs is less favorable.
