Do you see any streaking on any of the leaves? Almost like a variegation pattern? Do you see any dark brown spots on the petioles as well, or if you cut a petiole open are there discolored spots inside? I have some reference photos I can post later, but it's possible you are experiencing BSV (Banana streak virus) expression, but some more photos would be needed to confirm.
