Is Mercor Available in Brazil?

How you get paid in Brazil
Mercor pays Brazilthrough Wise, which it uses in countries Stripe Connect does not support. For each payout you get a Wise email: open the link, create a personal Wise account the first time, complete two-factor authentication, add your bank details and accept the transfer. Payouts are not automatic, so a transfer you do not accept stalls on Wise's side. Mercor says Wise transfers take about an hour, though some routes take longer, and it does not state Wise's fees. Wise balances, tags and debit cards are not supported for Mercor payouts.

Before you apply from Brazil
Being on the list means Mercor can pay you, not that every role is open to you. Read each listing for location, licence or work-authorization requirements; Mercor has a separate page on taxes and work authorization.
