First of all we have to think about ecosystem in which banana exist. Obviously the banana is in a rain forest. Rain forests are very interesting ecosystem with lots of species. The climate is really hot and atmosphere has high humidity.
Banana is definitely not CAM plant, because this kind of photosynthesis has usually cactuses and succulents. CAM plants usually have closed stromas during the day and open at night to protect from possible lost of water, carbon dioxide. This type of photosythesis doesn't suite in to the rain forest.
C4 plants is well know for Kranz anatomy of leaf. They have special sheets to do secondary fixation of carbon dioxide. So according to this web I personally believe that banana is not C4 plant.
So according to this article the banana has C3 photosynthesis.
