Intersango was an exchange offering multiple trading markets for trading bitcoins against multiple currencies.

The service was launched on July 6, 2011[1]. The Intersango open source software that the exchange runs on was announced on March 17, 2011[2]. In September, 2011 the exchange began using a new version of the Intersango open source exchange project with two currency markets (BTC/EUR, BTC/USD) live under the Intersango brand and plans made for the third (BTC/GBP) when Britcoin accounts are migrated at a future date.

On October 9, 2012, the exchange announced imminent plans to shutter its BTC/USD market. On December 19, 2012, the exchange closed its BTC/GBP market after being unable to re-establish a UK banking relationship[3].
