Could possibly have gotten sunburnt when it got moved from shady to full sun. When leaves aren't used to that much light, they can get burnt. Not to worry though, new leaves will come that are accustomed to it and they will be fine. Then again, that may not be the issue at all...difficult to tell without a picture.

As far as watering goes, with this being summer, make sure it gets watered enough (if in the ground, water maybe ever 2-3 days, but in a pot, you may have to water up to twice a day. Just feel the soil and if it's dry an inch or two below the ground level, you should probably water. Bananas don't like to be constantly wet, especially when being transplanted/shocked for whatever reason, so don't keep it constantly soaked or it will likely rot the corm. Let it dry out a bit between waterings and use a well-drained soil.
