Transaction Banking vs. Investment Banking

I have been researching this topic since days now and I have yet to understand the difference. I just received a call for Santander SCIB Graduate Program for Transaction Banking. What are the tasks for this role, it is part of the Corporate & Invesment Banking Division at Santander however I seriously don't understand the difference between Investment Banking and Transaction Banking.

TLDR: Explain me like 5 the difference between Transaction Banking vs. Investment Banking
