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]
