No, a quasi-contract is not the same as an actual contract. A quasi-contract is an equitable doctrine that permits the recovery of compensation and can be used in court, but it is not an enforceable contract. An actual contract serves the same purpose, and it is enforceable.

What is the quasi bank?

from what I've learned from law, quasi means "as if" so if you put that first word (quasi) to other it means almost but not exactly same. quasi- combining form meaning "resembling," "having some, but not all of the features of," used in the formation of compound words: a quasi contract, an implied contract, an obligation which has arisen from some act, as if from a contract; a quasi corporation, a body that has some, but not all, of the peculiar attributes of a corporation; a quasi argument, that which resembles, or is used as, an argument; quasi historical, apparently historical, seeming to be historical. so if the term is a quasi-bank, i think that the rules and objectives of that are the same like the commercial bank, but this thing are only in effect to someone (a group) who has agree/join on this agreement. as if a bank, but not the one honored to do business for public.
