Bananas can be fertilized weekly. I usually use double the rate per month than that of citruses, then divide by 4, and use that amount for weekly rate, dpends actually on the clump size and total diameters of all pups and mature plants on a clump. It is better to fertilize weekly into the soil, drenched as suggested by Marc, than to apply monthly for the same total amount. Stop fertilizing during the Fall, except if you don't have a Fall season similar to ours.
