No, 'redemption' does not have that meaning.
It has a variety of meanings, but here is a very common one.
'to compensate for a past failure'.
eg He was a cowa

I think of it as restoring or recovering value - a person (usually yourself); a ticket, or cupon; a savings bond.
You redeem the winning lotto ticket.
It's often used in Christian theology.
Payback could work in the sense of an IOU. You loan someone money. They give you an IOU.
You later redeem your IOU when the person pays you back.
