it is a physical quantity which possesses magnitude as well as direction. eg. velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, torque,etc.
Note that they follow the law of addition of vectors. So, even though current has magnitude and direction, it's not a vector as it doesn't follow the law of addition of vectors.
