Juan Yarur Lolas (January 8, 1894 - August 21, 1954) was a Chilean banker. He was the co-founder of Banco de Crédito e Inversiones in 1937,[1] and he served as its president from 1946 to 1954.[2] The bank is still owned by his descendants.[1]
Yarur was the president of the Arab colony in Santiago, Chile.[3] Together with the German colony, he tried to hire Hjalmar Schacht, Adolf Hitler's Economy Minister, as a "financial adviser" shortly after World War II, but the plan fell through when it became news.[3]

An effort to secure the immigration of Dr. Schacht, the former Ministry of Economy, was made by the Santiago German colony. They worked in league with the local Germany colony, whose President, Juan Yarur, one of the wealthiest industrialists in Chile, was to have engaged the doctor as "financial adviser." Timely publicity helped to frustrate the clever design.
