They may contain some, but not as much as when they were green or partially ripened. Certain enzymes in bananas are converted to sugars during the ripening process, which is what makes them sweeter and softer as they ripen.

How does starch delays the ripening of banana?
Starch in unripe bananas converts to sugars as the fruit ripens, but it also helps to slow down the ripening process by acting as a barrier to the enzyme that breaks down the cell walls in the fruit. This helps maintain the firmness and green color of the banana for a longer period before it starts to soften and turn yellow.
Does fruit contain starch?
