It sounds strange to use payback as you might say devoluciĆ³n in Spanish. Native speakers simply wouldnāt say this.
Although using payback to modify another noun sounds ok:
The project has a 3-year payback period

In this case itās better to use the verb - to pay someone back.
He hasnāt paid me back yet.
