Hi and welcome to our group!

As for your banana, it is extremely hard to ID a banana before it flowers unless it has something very unique about its leaves, which is not the case for many. Looking at your pictures, your plant has potential to be whats commonly called the 'Dwarf Red', however as stated earlier, it is nearly impossible to ID young plants like this. So take good care of it and if/when it flowers, it will be much easier to say what it is.

The banana plant in this photo is Dwarf Red, for comparison with yours. But Gabe is right, you really must wait and see how it grows and the flowers it produces.
ps my Dwarf Reds have very deep U-shaped midribs that you can see in this photo.

It does seem to have good red color in the trunk, but leaves seem narrow for a dwarf red.

It also appears to be a small TC plant, so its even that much harder to ID at this stage.

It looks closest to my Dwarf Red to me too.

Here's a photo of a young Dwarf Red.
