Agentive formation from the verb 'redeem' ('one who redeems'); the financial sense is directly inferable from the base verb.

Etymology

Redeemer comes from the Latin word redimere, made of re- 'back' and emere 'to buy'. So a redeemer is someone who 'buys back' or exchanges something, like the person who uses a gift certificate or pays a note to get cash.
