Sutan Sjahrir
Minangkabau merchants played a part in developing Indonesia's banking industry. Aside from Anwar Sutan Saidi, who founded Bank Nasional in the 1930s, other Minang merchants such as Sutan Sjahsam, the brother of Sutan Sjahrir, were leading figures in capital markets and financial brokerage. During the New Order era, several Minang businessmen involved in the banking business included Hasyim Ning and Anwar Syukur.
