I got this banana from green earth and it was supposed to be a red iholene and all of the other bananas that I got from them were wrong. I just want to make sure I know what I have

It is a very young plant so it's hard to say for sure, but fortunately Iholenas have a very distinct reddish underside to the leaves. It doesn't look like yours has it, but look really good for any signs of red as it just be faint right now. If you don't see any red ever, it is not an Iholena.
