A lot of people choose to wash their bananas when they get them home from the store, simply because of pesticides which they might have been exposed to along with sub-standard shipping conditions which can contaminate them.

It is recommended that you wash any bananas that you take home from the super market just in case, because it is better to be safe rather than sorry.

There are tiny parasites that sometimes cling to fruits such as bananas and they can be harmful when ingested, so you will want to give them a thorough washing before eating them yourself.
