Halifax "Investment" accounts

Which Halifax accounts qualify as investment accounts? Does the Reward Current account qualify? I'm guessing not, but I figured I'd check.

    Click the word "Investments" on the Halifax website. Anything in there is an investment.

    A Reward current account is a current account, not an investment.

    The reward account is a current account. An investment account is classed as savings.

    Not quite the case.

    An investment is typically something sold via a financial adviser, or bought direct, such as a stocks and shares ISA.

    A savings account is basically a cash deposit which would be covered by the FSCS Deposit Protection scheme.

    The Reward Current Account is ... a current account (also covered by the FSCS Deposit Protection scheme).
