Handshake AI pays through Stripe, Outlier via PayPal, Airtm or ACH, micro1 in USD twice a month through Deel, CrowdGen via PayPal, Payoneer, Airtm or Swift depending on location, and Turing to a bank account.

Tax on AI training income in Mexico: RESICO and the SAT
The SAT's Régimen Simplificado de Confianza (RESICO) is for individuals who carry on business, provide professional services or rent property "que perciben ingresos anuales menores a 3.5 millones de pesos", annual income under 3.5 million pesos. In RESICO "puedes pagar entre 1% y 2.5% del impuesto sobre la renta (ISR)" depending on income, and you cannot deduct any expenses (SAT).
Whether RESICO or the business and professional activities regime fits you depends on your other income and how you invoice foreign clients, so ask the SAT or a contador. For US forms such as the W-8BEN, see taxes on AI training income. This is general information, not tax advice.
